Process Engineering

What Process Engineering does

Process Engineering A/S is a Danish consulting engineering firm founded in 1999 in Fredericia by engineers Poul B. Jakobsen and Lars Rune Ellehaven, now operating with 100+ employees across eight offices in Denmark (Fredericia HQ, Aarhus, Aalborg, Sorø, Copenhagen), Norway (Oslo), and the Netherlands ('s-Hertogenbosch, Heerenveen). The company delivers end-to-end engineering services to process-industry clients in four verticals — Energy & Renewables, Industri, Food & Biotech, and Pharma — covering the full project lifecycle from feasibility and conceptual design through detailed engineering, installation management, commissioning, and handover. Service lines include EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) contracts, project management, process design (PFD, P&ID, 3D pipe modeling, Virtual Reality review), engineering calculations (FEA/FEM, pipe stress analysis using Rohr2 and Caesar II), structural design (Eurocode 3), CE marking and ATEX compliance, electrical and automation design, and flexible consultant staffing.

The underlying technical capability rests on deep regulatory expertise (ISO 9001:2015, PED, ATEX, CE marking, EN 13480, ASME B31.3) and proficiency with industry-standard tools (Autodesk AutoCAD, Inventor, Plant 3D, PDMS, Navis, ME10, Robot Structural Analysis) rather than proprietary technology. Process Engineering operates as an independent advisor without equipment-vendor relationships, which supports the consulting value proposition.

The business model is B2B professional services. Revenue is generated through consulting engagements, project assignments, calculation/drawing tasks, and EPCM contracts, with flexible engagement models spanning time-based billing (with or without ceiling), fixed-price projects, and long-term cooperation agreements. Customer concentration is dispersed across multiple named enterprise accounts (Avista Green, Linde Gas, Glycom, Power2Met, and various biogas operators) and across four industry verticals. The firm is founder-controlled (Poul B. Jakobsen is sole owner since 2003) with no external funding, and revenue is not publicly disclosed; 2016 profit of 'over 7 million DKK' and a 100+ employee headcount imply mid-tier engineering-consultancy scale.

They offer flexible agreement forms including time-based billing, time-based billing with ceiling, fixed price, or long-term cooperation.
2. Project Assignments: Full project delivery where Process Engineering manages entire engineering projects from conceptual design through commissioning and handover, working under the customer's project model or their own phase-separated project model.
3. Calculation and Drawing Services: Smaller calculation and drawing tasks performed as standalone services or as part of larger engagements.
4. EPCM Contracts: Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management contract model where Process Engineering manages projects while customers retain ownership and choose suppliers, typically resulting in 10-30% CapEx savings.
