What Prozap does

PROZAP Sp. z o.o. is a multi-discipline, specialized engineering design office headquartered in Puławy, Poland, with a branch in Police established in January 2020. The company was founded in 1973 and operates as the wholly-owned engineering and design arm of Grupa Azoty, one of Europe's largest fertilizer and chemical capital groups. The firm employs approximately 120 engineers with an average of 10+ years of professional experience and delivers an integrated portfolio spanning pre-investment analyses, full-scope design documentation (concept through as-built), procurement of key equipment, supervision/training/commissioning, and lump-sum turnkey (EPC) and EPCM contract delivery across chemical, petrochemical, fertilizer, defense, power, and food/pharmaceutical installations.

Core technical assets include first-in-Poland CAD/CAM implementation (1993), 3D plant modeling for digital-twin creation, process simulation (Chemcad, AspenPlus), and proprietary emission-abatement technology — most notably the CLEANING UNIT wet scrubber for urea and ammonium nitrate prilling towers (>90% dust and ammonia removal at ~800 Pa, ~3x lower energy use than traditional scrubbers) and an innovative wet ammoniacal flue-gas desulphurisation method. The firm has also co-developed a VR-based operator training system (vReact) with AppsBow, using its own 3D installation models. ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified, with IPB Technical Reliability References and UDT recognition.

Commercially, PROZAP operates as a B2B engineering services firm with project-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing negotiated per engagement. Revenue streams mix professional services (design documentation, EPCM), managed services (EPC turnkey), and equipment supply. GTM is sales-led, anchored by direct enterprise relationships (Grupa Azoty Puławy, NITRO-CHEM, SABIC, PKN ORLEN, ANWIL, PCC Rokita, Elektrownia Rybnik), industry-conference presence (Polska Chemia Congress, Nitrogen+Syngas, GPCA), industry-association membership (PIPC, Lublin Hydrogen Valley), and university recruitment at Warsaw and Lublin technical universities. Defense-sector work for NITRO-CHEM (TNT and RDX/HMX facilities, 2025-2026) has become a strategically important growth pillar.
