What Inprocess Technology and Consulting Group does

Inprocess Technology and Consulting Group, S.L.U., founded in 2006 and headquartered in Barcelona, is an independent engineering services firm whose entire commercial focus is dynamic process simulation for the hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries. The company builds rigorous dynamic models — primarily on Aspen HYSYS Dynamics and Honeywell UniSim Design — and applies them across the plant lifecycle through its Multi-Purpose Dynamic Simulation (MPDS) methodology, spanning design verification, debottlenecking, operator training simulators (OTS), flare systems revalidation, flow assurance, utilities optimization, and process digital twins that connect to live plant data.

Its product surface is organized around four core service lines — Dynamic Simulation Studies, Operator Training Simulators, Multipurpose Dynamic Simulators, and Process Digital Twins — supplemented by specialized studies (flare, flow assurance, utilities) and a portfolio of proprietary software tools (IIS instructor station, ITOP operator training, ICOM competence management, ILIB training library, INGENO generic OTS, IFELOW flow-assurance integration, and the VR-enabled Immersive Training Simulator). The software sits on top of integrations with major DCS platforms (Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, Siemens PCS7, Kongsberg K-Chief) and is supported by 17+ country delivery coverage including regional offices in the US, Brazil, India, Middle East, and Malaysia.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements — primarily project-based consulting and OTS delivery — with a smaller contribution from software licensing/royalties on standalone applications. Following the February 2026 acquisition by Portuguese engineering group Quadrante (backed by Henko Partners), Inprocess retains its brand, operational autonomy, and CEO Oriol Millan, while gaining access to Quadrante's European, Americas, and African footprint for accelerated international growth. The named customer base spans Repsol, CEPSA, Saudi Aramco, YPF, Profertil, Braskem, Preem, MOEVE Chemicals, and others across refining, petrochemicals, fertilizers, gas processing, and emerging energy transition applications.

Core offering

Inprocess Technology and Consulting Group provides specialized process simulation services and consulting for the energy sector, including dynamic simulation studies, operator training simulators, multiphase dynamic process simulation, process digital twins, flare systems revalidation, flow assurance, and utilities networks optimization. The firm develops proprietary simulation software tools (ICOM, ILIB, ITOP, IIS, INGENO, IFLOW) and applies leading third-party platforms such as Aspen HYSYS, Honeywell UniSim, and Schlumberger PROMAX to deliver engineering studies for refining, petrochemical, oil & gas, and LNG operators worldwide.

Product overview

Inprocess Technology and Consulting Group is an independent process simulation services and consulting company established in 2006, specializing exclusively in dynamic process simulation for the hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries. The portfolio centers on four interconnected offerings: Dynamic Simulation Studies (engineering analysis and debottlenecking), Operator Training Simulators/OTS (workforce development), Multipurpose Dynamic Simulators/MPDS (lifecycle modeling approach), and Process Digital Twins (real-time operational support). Supporting these core services are specialized studies (Flare Systems Revalidation, Flow Assurance, Utilities Networks Optimization), software applications (ICOM competence management, ILIB training library, ITOP operator education, IIS instructor station, IFLOW integration tool, INGENO generic simulators), and training courses. The company operates independently of any technology provider and serves clients across energy, hydrocarbons, refining, petrochemicals, and green hydrogen sectors worldwide. Following its 2026 acquisition by Quadrante (backed by Henko Partners), Inprocess retains its brand and operational autonomy while gaining expanded international reach.
