Solutions for chemical manufacturing
Manufacturers of chemical products, including biochemicals, fuel-based chemicals and green chemicals, need innovative solutions to increase agility, efficiency and sustainability while maintaining operational safety and continuity. Optimal solutions may draw on best practices, including from other manufacturing industries. Digital tooling, automation and machine learning can boost decarbonisation, efficiency and safety of assets and utilities.
This saves operational and maintenance costs, reduces downtime and can predict maintenance requirements. Automation helps to safeguard competitiveness and embeds knowledge in companies with an ageing workforce.
Embrace the best of these solutions in partnership with the multi-disciplinary teams at Royal HaskoningDHV. We provide end-to-end services including technical consultancy, design and engineering as well as implementation and asset management for green- and brownfield projects.
Trust our expertise in utilities, infrastructure and in- and outbound logistics, together with digital competences and asset lifecycle management.
Streamline your operations to optimise efficiency and performance
Ensure operational excellence with a partner who can collaborate with you to design and engineer high-performing industrial utilities and logistics assets.
We’ll work with you every step of the way from road mapping the most feasible option through to engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM). Solutions are enriched by automation and machine learning knowledge and include permitting and regulatory compliance.
Additional efficiencies can be gained from optimising logistics, resource usage and treatment processes. Our focus on HSE safeguards your license to operate.
By combining asset lifecycle management with advanced digital tools, you can move to predictive maintenance and keep your site performing at peak.
This was key to our successful management of more than 200 buildings, transport links, sewer system and internal building installations (such as HVAC and fire safety) at one of Europe’s largest fertiliser production sites.
Sustainability and future proofing as a core focus
Integrate safe and sustainable practices into every aspect of your operations and keep pace with evolving regulations.
We can support you in decarbonising production and reducing the carbon-content of your products. You can rely on our experience in carbon capture and storage (CCS), as well as renewable and alternative energy carriers such as green hydrogen and biomass.
Explore opportunities aligned with the circular economy principles. Lean on our capabilities to develop new ecosystems to secure your future proofing ambition.
Sustainability and futureproofing are at the heart of our work with the chemical cluster at the Port of Rotterdam area in The Netherlands.
We are evaluating and implementing opportunities within industrial transition themes such as CCS and heat infrastructure, efficient logistic networks, green hydrogen production and distribution, production of advanced recycling of polymers, and more.
Add value from futureproof design and leverage opportunities from digital transition
In an industry where efficiency and effectiveness are critical, we are leveraging digital transition and futureproof chemical plant operation and maintenance to ensure you maintain a competitive edge.
Work with us on incorporating advanced digital tools and automation to enhance performance and flexibility in your production and to reduce consumption of resources including energy, water and materials.
As managing agents for Chemelot, one of the largest petrochemical clusters in The Netherlands, we have significantly reduced maintenance costs, improved safety requirements, and increased flexibility and reliability of vital infrastructure for the production units.
We developed digital competencies of Chemelot’s site service team to accelerate continuous improvements with the aid of IoT technology.
Explore how strategic consultancy, engineering and design, implementation competences, regulatory knowledge and asset lifecycle management can empower your operations.
