Our Approach & Expertise
Environmental solutions that yield a positive return on investment in performance and reliability.
Our philosophy has always been to provide solutions to client’s needs that yield a positive return on investment in terms of reliability and performance.
- systems built to the highest standards to deliver reliable performance in difficult environments.
- project results should meet or exceed client expectations, making us the future vendor of choice.
As a full-service vendor, PRI has the ability to manage a project from the initial identification of a need to the commissioning and continued support of the equipment. The process begins with a thorough evaluation of the situation, the needs, and the desired results. Discussions with our engineering staff will result in the creation of a conceptual solution. To validate this concept we may use computer simulation of the process, testing in our laboratory, and/or additional engineering design work. Further testing may be done after the completion of engineering to again validate the concept of the equipment and the methodology that will be used for the full-scale system.
Detail design and fabrication of the system takes place with our in-house engineering team closely supervising and monitoring the progress. Our engineers and field service staff work closely with the client during the installation and commissioning of the equipment.
Our Expertise
- Pressure Vessels: custom vessels with ASME, SELO, UL, CUL, PED and other international certifications.
- Heat Transfer: steam, thermal fluid, and electric systems for process heating and cooling applications.
- Process Control: integrated process controls for complete automation of complex process systems.
- Distillation Systems: to process and recover solvents, oils, biofuels, and other chemicals to reduce waste.
- Wash Solvents: specialized chemicals developed to optimize the cleaning process within wash systems.
- Solvent Wash Systems: to provide automated cleaning of converting press parts.
- Biowaste Treatment: liquid and solids waste destruction and sterilization.
- Modular Process Systems: integrated, automated modular process systems for a wide variety of process applications.
- Contract Manufacturing: engineering review and completion as well as comprehensive manufacturing capabilities to produce fully integrated process systems of our client’s design.
A Whole Lifecycle Project Approach
We follow a detailed project development process to deliver consistent results for our clients. Having a complete team on staff allows us to support the A/E as well as their own staff from the early design stage through operation of the system. The interface between shop manufacturing, in-house engineering and field start up teams continues to provide lessons learned and best practices for every project. This assures the team and client engineering is based on the most current discussion, situation or performance enchantments.
The payoff is knowing that the client is receiving the highest quality system, and the most advanced engineered system available.
A Commitment to Quality & Safety
It is our dedication to quality that has made PRI one of the most trusted brands in the industries we serve, and why PRI systems frequently outlast those from other manufacturers.
