Core offering

Process Design Partners is a consulting engineering firm providing end-to-end process engineering services to the food and processing industry, covering Pre-Engineering, Detail Engineering, and Execution (testing and commissioning). Services include project management, technical calculations, process design (P&ID and equipment lists), CIP system design, 3D design and modeling, manufacturing drawings, and compliance documentation (CE marking, EHEDG, Machinery Directive). In addition, the firm develops and supplies four proprietary patented components — the Continuous Vapor Injector (CVI), Continuous Absorption Heater (CAH), Continuous Stream Liner (CSL), and Continuous Air Extractor (CAE) — co-developed with H. Kjærbye Invent.

Product overview

Process Design Partners is a consulting engineering firm offering both proprietary components and full-service engineering solutions for the food and processing industry. Their product portfolio centers on four patented/patent-pending components: the Continuous Vapor Injector (CVI) for direct steam heating, the Continuous Absorption Heater (CAH) for vapor-based thermal processing, the Continuous Stream Liner (CSL) for flow stabilization, and the Continuous Air Extractor (CAE) for deaeration. These components are developed in cooperation with H. Kjærbye Invent. Complementing their product offerings, they provide end-to-end engineering services including project management, technical calculations, process design (P&ID and equipment lists), CIP system design, 3D design and modeling, manufacturing drawings, commissioning, and documentation management including CE marking, EHEDG compliance, and Machinery Directive compliance.

Broad incumbents

• SPX FLOW: Global supplier of process equipment and engineered solutions for food, beverage, and industrial markets. Comparable for its food processing components and process line integration capabilities serving similar dairy, beverage, and protein processing customers.
• Tetra Pak: Global leader in food processing and packaging solutions with extensive process engineering capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering end-to-end food processing equipment, components, and integration services, but at vastly larger scale than PDP's niche consulting focus.
• GEA Group: Large international supplier of process engineering and components for the food, dairy, and beverage industries. Comparable in serving food processors with engineered components and process line solutions, though operating as a global incumbent rather than a niche consulting partner.
• Bühler Group: Swiss-based engineering firm providing process solutions and equipment for food processing, particularly in protein, grain, and alternative protein applications. Comparable for green protein processing expertise and integrated plant engineering capability overlapping with PDP's vegetable and algae protein work.
• JBT Corporation: Diversified food processing and air transport equipment supplier with strong presence in protein, dairy, and liquid foods processing. Comparable for its process engineering services, thermal processing equipment, and hygienic design capabilities relevant to PDP's food processing focus.
• Alfa Laval: Major provider of heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling technologies widely used in food processing. Comparable for its thermal processing, hygienic design, and CIP system components that overlap with PDP's CVI, CAH, and CIP expertise.

Direct peers

• HRS Heat Exchangers: Specialist manufacturer of heat exchangers and thermal processing equipment for food and beverage applications. Comparable as a niche component provider focused on thermal process solutions in food processing, directly overlapping with PDP's CAH and CVI thermal technology portfolio.
• Hosokawa Micron: Specialist manufacturer of processing equipment and components for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Comparable for its niche engineered components and process solutions with strong focus on hygienic design and specialized processing equipment similar to PDP's component portfolio.
• Tetra Engineering Europe (formerly CORNELL): Specialized engineering services firm focused on food and beverage process design, hygienic systems, and CIP optimization. Comparable as a niche consulting engineering firm serving food processors with similar process design and CIP expertise to PDP.

Regional players

• Elopak: European-headquartered packaging and processing solutions provider for liquid food products. Comparable for serving Nordic and European food processing customers with processing equipment and engineering services, though primarily focused on packaging rather than core process engineering.
