Engineering services delivered by specialists:
FEED & Concept Design
Whether you’re launching a new distillery or expanding capacity, our expertise ensures efficient, scalable and environmentally responsible production.
Front‑end engineering that de‑risks investment, strengthens design and accelerates delivery
Front‑End Engineering Design (FEED) is the foundation of every successful industrial project. It defines the technical, safety, environmental and commercial basis of a facility before detailed design or construction begins. Strong FEED reduces risk, improves cost certainty and ensures that projects progress smoothly through procurement, permitting and delivery.
Arthian provides FEED and concept design services for chemical, manufacturing, energy, utilities and high‑hazard industrial facilities, combining process engineering, safety, environmental and civil expertise into a single, integrated approach.
Why FEED Matters
A robust FEED package:
- reduces project risk
- improves CAPEX and OPEX accuracy
- prevents costly redesign during detailed engineering
- supports regulatory engagement (COMAH, permitting, planning)
- ensures safe, compliant and efficient design
- accelerates procurement and contractor mobilisation
It is the stage where the most value can be added — and the most risk can be removed.
Our FEED & Concept Design Services
Concept Design & Feasibility Studies
We help clients evaluate options, understand constraints and select the right technical solution.
- Concept development and screening
- Feasibility studies and option assessments
- Mass and energy balances
- Preliminary equipment sizing
- Early‑stage cost estimates
- Constructability and operability considerations
Basis of Design (BoD)
We establish the technical and operational foundations for the project.
- Design philosophy
- Process descriptions
- Operating envelopes
- Design criteria and assumptions
- Utility requirements
- Safety and environmental constraints
A clear BoD ensures alignment between engineering, operations, safety and regulatory teams.
Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) & P&IDs
We develop the core engineering documents that define how the system will operate.
- PFDs for major process streams
- P&IDs for equipment, instrumentation and control
- Line lists and equipment lists
- Control and shutdown philosophy
- Interlock and safeguarding requirements
These documents form the backbone of detailed design and procurement.
Equipment Specification & Sizing
We define the equipment required to deliver safe and efficient operation.
- Pumps, heat exchangers, vessels and tanks
- Relief devices and venting systems
- Instrumentation and control systems
- Mechanical and electrical integration
- Layout and spatial planning
Safety & Regulatory Integration
We embed safety and compliance into FEED from day one.
- HAZID and early‑stage HAZOP
- LOPA and SIL allocation
- DSEAR and hazardous area classification
- COMAH considerations and Safety Report inputs
- Environmental permitting constraints
- Emissions, drainage and containment requirements
This ensures FEED outputs are regulator‑ready and aligned with your Environmental Permitting and EHS Legal teams.
Costing, Procurement & Delivery Planning
We provide the clarity needed for accurate budgeting and procurement.
- CAPEX and OPEX estimates
- Procurement strategies
- Vendor engagement and technical evaluation
- Construction sequencing
- Commissioning and operational readiness planning
