Engineering the Process Before the Building

Process engineering focuses on the product and the systems that move, heat, cool, mix, or separate it. Mechanical and MEP engineering design the building systems, like HVAC and utilities, that support the facility around that process.

Yes. Gray’s process engineers model de-watering, fluid transport, heat exchange, and separations systems in 3D, rather than relying only on 2D piping and instrumentation diagrams.

Yes. Process design engineering identifies equipment specifications and layout early, so procurement and construction can proceed with real equipment requirements instead of assumptions or rough estimates.

Food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and other manufacturers with product-specific processing needs—such asheating, separating, or transporting fluids—rely on process engineering to design systems.

It can be. On integrated projects, Gray coordinates process engineering with architecture, structural, and MEP engineering from early design, so the building and the process are designed together. Gray also develops focused process engineering solutions for customers who require more discrete services.
