Hydrocarbon & Basic Chemicals

Within its 20 year history, the majority of UniField Hydrocarbon & Chemicals work has been executed for the petroleum refining industry. Additionally however, UniField provides engineering and project services to sectors such as agricultral chemicals and fertilizers, fuel ethanol, flavors and fragrances, specialty gases, phosphoric acid, propellants and other. We have forged strong service relationships by providing front end and detailed engineering, as well as procurement and construction administration, on small through major capital projects. Our service approach is to deliver high engineering quality and efficiency on every project.

While UniField brings a wealth of process knowledge to a project, we are first and foremost a projects firm – one that is focused on delivering sound return on client investment, whether that be through optimization studies or major new construction. Owners rely on our thorough and accurate front end execution and cost estimating to assist them in both annual capital and major project budgeting. Our engineers are well versed in the latest process and ancillary system designs, modeling tools, regulatory mandates and operating benchmarks. UniField’s full-service staff has the experience and ability to complete all facets of process, electrical, mechanical and civil/structural design of small projects as well as major unit upgrades and green field installations.

In addition to engineers and designers, we have a full-time staff of procurement, scheduling and construction administration specialists - enabling UniField to assume full engineering responsibility for your project through startup. On major projects, our typical contracting approach is as the owner’s agent, wherein UniField holds engineering responsibility for the project from study through startup. For small capital projects, we most often team with the owner’s staff to achieve a flexible, low-cost delivery.
