Process Systems

What Process Systems does

Process Systems is a French private engineering company (SAS) headquartered in Paris with operational facilities in Verrières-en-Anjou (Angers). It designs and manufactures modular, skid-mounted process units for the oil, gas, and energy industries, functioning as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor that delivers turnkey packages to its clients. Its product portfolio spans crude oil treatment, gas treatment, fuel gas conditioning, metering, heat transfer, tank farm systems, and pilot units/test benches, drawing on a heritage traceable to BS&B (founded 1882) and French operations since 1968.

The company was incorporated in 1989 and has operated as a subsidiary of CMI (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertise) since 1991. It expanded its thermal engineering capabilities through the 1994 acquisition of TREPAUD and added metering capabilities via the 2007 acquisition of ALFA INDUSTRIES INTERNATIONAL. It now operates within the IWF group alongside sister entities ALLIA, RBL-REI, and IWF ACADEMY. The firm employs approximately 50 people, with average tenure of roughly 10 years and average age of 41, indicating a deeply experienced technical bench.

Process Systems serves a roster of energy and utility majors including TOTAL, ENGIE, EDF, ALSTOM, SONATRACH, Perenco, GE Energy, Chevron, Storengy, Shell, Dalkia, Saipem, Air Liquide, Sonelgaz, and GRTgaz. The company maintains representative offices in Algeria, Russia, Iran, China, Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon, Iraq, and Houston (USA) alongside its French operations, and holds ISO 9001:2008 certification. Its revenue model is project-based, with each engagement typically covering the design, fabrication, and commissioning of bespoke skid-mounted process units delivered under single-point EPC responsibility.

Core offering

Process Systems designs, manufactures, and delivers turnkey process packaged units (skid-mounted) for the oil, gas, and energy industries. The company offers modular process equipment across seven application areas: crude oil treatment, gas treatment, fiscal metering, fuel gas conditioning, heat transfer, tank farm, and pilot unit/test bench solutions, delivered as factory-tested modules from FEED through to commissioning and start-up.

Product overview

Process Systems is a French industrial engineering company specializing in the design, manufacture and turnkey delivery of process packaged units for the oil, gas, and energy industries. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of process equipment organized into seven main application areas: Crude Oil Treatment (including separation, heating, desalting, stabilization, transfer/distribution, and produced water treatment), Gas Treatment (dehydration, sweetening, filtration/separation, de-ethaniser, and transport/distribution), Metering (fiscal metering products, gas metering, and liquid metering systems), Fuel Gas Conditioning (heating and fuel gas packages), Heat Transfer (utility skid packages, heat exchangers/condensers, biomass power plants, and energy recovery systems), Tank Farm (loading/unloading stations and liquid pumping), and Pilot Unit/Test Bench solutions. All products are delivered as skid-mounted, factory-tested modules with performance guarantees, from concept through commissioning. The company holds ISO 9001:2008 certification and operates globally with offices in France (Paris headquarters and Angers industrial facility) and Algeria.
