<<< PETRON SCIENTECH INC >>>

Petron’s engineering Personnel have extensive experience in the key areas of Process Engineering, Project Management, Instrumentation, and plant start-up, which form the nucleus of the organization. This dedicated group possesses many years of experience in diverse process plants including Industrial Alcohol, Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Agro based products and Specialty Chemicals (Please refer to the section on Summary of Experience).

PETRON supplies the complete engineering and technology package for process plants. Our highly experienced engineers and associates in collaboration with scientists, leading research laboratories, and commercial plants, provide full technology, basic design package, project management services (P.M.C.), engineering, procurement and construction (E.P.C.) for a variety of processes.

Petron’s process design and engineering capabilities include optimization of both existing and new processes. Computer software such as AutoCad, Chemcad, Simsci, HTRI and other proven design tools and techniques are used to prepare the basic design packages.

Petron’s efforts are targeted towards continuous research, development and manufacturing in the areas of new technology and industrial catalyst. Petron has collaborated with National Chemical Laboratories, India, Scientific Research Institute (SRI) Syntez, Russia , Engelhard Corporation and CRI ( Shell) of USA .

Project management experience covers the full spectrum from process package preparation and project economic evaluation to E.P.C. management and implementation. Petron forms a Project Management team for each project. These P.M.C. services utilize a task force which develops and monitors the project execution plan using the latest project management tools: Microsoft Project, PS6, Primavera P3, PMS in Excel, Success with RSMeans & Richardson and Modular Cost Estimating. Petron personnel have extensive P.M.C. experience in managing grass-root and retrofit projects for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petrochemicals, synthetic fibers, petroleum refineries, off-sites, utilities, environment etc. The team contains a broad base of specialists in design, engineering, procurement, construction, and start-up.

Petron provides a full range of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (E.P.C.) Services for projects. These services on a Turn-key basis are provided in an Alliance with larger Engineering and Construction (E & C) organizations world wide with whom we have worked closely.

The quality assurance program at Petron requires adhering to applicable standards for Design and Quality Checks by independent groups within the company. These standards for Quality have been developed through international experience in global projects and training of Petron’s personnel in Quality Control and Total Quality Management Programs.

Successful plant start-up is the final milestone of any project. Petron personnel bring many years of start-up and commissioning experience to our clients. We undertake total responsibility for the start-up of major chemical, petrochemical, and refinery projects. To meet the growing requirement of qualified and experienced engineers in plant start-ups and commissioning activities, Petron maintains a core team of qualified personnel and has many experienced start-up personnel on a retainer basis.

Environment and safety issues are paramount on any approach for the Process controls specifications. Petron designs and the Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) are based on PLC hardware with considerations to be independent and fail safe.

Division 3: ENVIRONMENTAL, SAFETY, SOIL/WATER REMEDIATION AND EFFLUENT TREATMENT

Petron has kept pace with the changing environmental regulations and is dedicated to comply with all EPA, OSHA and local requirements in the country of plant location. Petron engineers and consultants attend EPA sponsored seminars from time to time to learn new techniques. Latest environmental engineeing technologies are implemented in every project. Petron uses integrated programs of source control, recycling and treatment, toxic waste removal and asbestos abatement where applicable. Every project undertaken by us complies with all environmental and safety standards in a responsible manner.

Petron’s commitment to technological excellence and environmental concerns characterizes its operation. As plants handling hazardous materials have grown in size and complexity, risk management has become critical. All human activities involve some degree of risk. However, the process industry is rather different from most manufacturing operations in the type of risk involved. All industries involve hazards of falling, tripping, unguarded machinery, fires, etc. The process industry also involves special risks of fire, explosion, and the release of toxic materials. Petron brings its expertise to evaluate these risks at the design stage and takes action to minimize their occurrence. Petron specializes in providing environmental impact studies and HAZOP/HAZAN review of process plants both grass roots and revamps through a network of specialist in the field.

Petron undertakes the clean-up of facilities contaminated with hydrocarbons or heavy metals (using a licensed proprietary process) at substantial savings compared to existing processes. Utilizing our laboratory facilities, the problems are first identified and the most effective and economical solution is engineered and implemented.

Petron, in association with other well reputed companies undertakes projects for effluent treatment and bio gas generation (anaerobic) with an objective to reduce COD and BOD to meet local regulations and disposal criteria.

Petron engages in preparation of Bankable Feasibility and Project Reports for chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals and other industries based on the format developed by UNIDO and USTDA. These reports contain a comprehensive analysis of the project including technology evaluation, site requirements, development impact, implementation financing, marketing of products, supply side logistics, impact on envoirnment and project justification etc.

Working in close cooperation with financial institutions, merchant bankers, Exim banks and private investors, Petron engages in detailed appraisal and financial evaluation of projects. Our in-depth analysis using modern techniques involve cost estimates, break-even analysis, sensitivity analysis, rate of return, payback and other criterion for viability appraisal and evaluation of project investment.

Petron’s legal and technical specialists provide services related to expert witness in settlement or litigation related to individual or class action law suits and for intellectual propetry rights, envoirnmental damages and accidents in process plants.

Petron has provided services in evaluating mergers and acquisitions around the globe. The activities, finanacial performance and synergies of mergers and acquisitions are carefully evaluated based on indepth analysis.
