We make it happen
Electrical Engineering & Automation
Our Electrical & Automation team has extensive experience in power supply, process plants, and automation solutions. We develop proposals for electrical engineering and automation solutions in close collaboration with our process department and the customer’s technical specialists.
Our areas of expertise and services
At Process Engineering, we develop solutions that contribute to sustainable energy systems and thereby help reduce CO₂ emissions. Our engineers have extensive experience as project managers, lead engineers, and electrical/automation engineers throughout all project phases (conceptual design, basic design and detailed design), including conducting negotiations with subcontractors and contractors, participating in technical supervision during construction, commissioning and preparing handover documentation.

Electrical design
Electrical design of process plants involves the design, installation, maintenance, and improvement of the electrical systems and components that power and control the plant’s operations.
At Process Engineering, we provide electrical engineering support in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages.
We carry out tasks in close collaboration with our clients, as most companies have individual needs. This may include the development of electrical projects involving Main Distribution Boards, Motor Control Centers (MCC), and Remote Terminal Units (RTU).
The key aspects that electrical engineering involves in a process plant include:
- Single-line diagrams 10kV, 690V & 400V
- Short-circuit calculation
- Main earthing diagram
- Contact with utility company
- Wiring diagrams
Safety Engineering
Electrical safety engineering in process plants involves the design and implementation of systems to prevent electrical hazards, ensure compliance with safety standards, and protect personnel and equipment. This includes hazard analysis, the use of explosion-proof equipment in ATEX zones, grounding and bonding, protective relays, regular maintenance, and emergency shutdown procedures to mitigate risks in hazardous environments.
- Tool include
- Risk assessment
- HAZID/HAZOP
- Functional safety (SIL/PL)
- ATEX, hazardous area classification, and explosion protection (EX safety)
- Safety concept, design, and implementation
One of the starting points for engineering a project is the main distribution system, known as the “Single-Line Diagram.”
It consolidates all fundamental aspects of the loads and short-circuit levels that form the basis of the installation. The single-line diagram provides an overview of nominal currents and maximum/minimum short-circuit currents.
We use the single-line diagram throughout the entire project lifecycle to ensure that the design basis for equipment and distribution systems is always clearly defined. In this way—and in the event of changes along the way—we maintain a constant overview of the consequences of such changes

Power simulation software
Short-circuit calculation models are among the most essential tools for our engineers.
They make it possible to calculate or simulate how power is distributed through the main distribution network, thereby mapping the design of cables and routing paths. In this way, the foundation for the plant design is established in a coherent documentation package, which can be used as a basis for the detailed layout of main and distribution panels, as well as machinery for utility and process systems.
Our team of highly educated electrical engineers uses several internationally recognized software programs and is often able—already at the conceptual design stage—to provide initial assessments of the investment scope for a new process plant.
Block diagram
The block diagram, together with the functional description, provides a clear overview of the structure of the automation solution.
We develop systematic block diagrams and functional descriptions that make it possible for people outside the process team to quickly and effectively understand the system. At the same time, we ensure that there is a clear and well-documented functional description available for use during the programming of the system.
