Utility engineering
As a service provider we regularly encounter the same utilities, which puts us in an ideal position for cross-pollination of knowledge.
Steam and Boiler Installations
At Prohead Engineering, we carry out in-depth analyses of steam and boiler installations to identify problems such as inefficient steam generation. A typical problem is the accumulation of condensate, which leads to corrosion and pressure loss. We carry out measurement campaigns to detect such problems and then offer conceptual and basic engineering to resolve them. We support the project through to validation and commissioning.
Compressed Air and Pneumatic Systems
At Prohead Engineering, we optimise the efficiency of compressed air and pneumatic networks, with a focus on improving performance and reliability. Through reverse engineering, supported by our drawing office, we can create detailed diagrams and documentation for existing systems. This enables us to detect inefficiencies and implement targeted improvements, from conceptual engineering to validation and commissioning.
Refrigeration, HVAC and heat pumps
Prohead Engineering designs and optimises refrigeration systems and HVAC installations, with a special focus on technical safety. Old (ammonia) and new refrigerants (pentane, hexane) are often not without risk, and this calls for a thorough approach to make these process installations as inherently safe as possible. This requires our knowledge of HVAC, but also of process hazard analysis, ATEX and CE declarations.
Water
Whether it concerns process water, CIP installations or waste water treatment: at Prohead Engineering, we deliver safe, efficient and future-proof solutions. We carry out in-depth analyses and measurement campaigns, test the compatibility between materials and chemicals, and identify problems in order to arrive methodically at a working solution.
We also support the energy transition by optimising energy exchange and integrating heat pumps, with a view to electrification and fossil-free processes.
Chemical Storage and Distribution
In the industrial handling and storage of chemical substances, safety and regulatory compliance (including VLAREM) are essential. Prohead Engineering offers comprehensive support in designing and optimising storage systems, with a strong focus on ATEX zoning and the specific challenges of transfer operations. We carry out detailed risk assessments and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies to identify potential hazards, such as leaks and explosive atmospheres, and to control them with correctly designed measures such as PSVs (Pressure Safety Valves) and overfill protection.
Gas distribution and storage
Prohead Engineering focuses on designing relief systems and ensuring ATEX compliance in gas distribution and storage systems. We carry out thorough analyses and measurement campaigns to guarantee safety and efficiency. Our services include engineering, project management and support through to validation and commissioning.
