Process Conceptual Design
Successful projects begin with sound engineering decisions made during the earliest stages of development. As experienced conceptual design consultants, jimmylea helps clients transform innovative ideas into practical engineering solutions through structured process conceptual design and technical evaluation.
Our conceptual engineering consultants work with technology developers, manufacturers, research organisations and project owners to establish a technically feasible pathway from concept through to detailed engineering. Whether you are developing a new chemical process, upgrading an existing facility or commercialising emerging technology, we provide the engineering judgement needed to reduce uncertainty before significant capital is committed.
As part of early-stage process engineering, our process concept development services combine practical engineering judgement with simple but effective tools to streamline conceptual process design. The engineering software featured on this page is available for free download and has proven valuable for performing rapid calculations and preliminary assessments during conceptual design activities.
One such tool is our engineering unit converter, which supports 330 units across 24 engineering categories. It enables accurate and efficient conversion between engineering units, reducing calculation errors and saving valuable time during process conceptual design. While simple, tools such as these improve engineering productivity and support faster, more informed decision-making across a wide range of engineering disciplines.
Conceptual Design
Our process concept development services include engineering feasibility studies, heat and material balances, process flow diagrams, preliminary equipment sizing, process simulation and technology assessment. Every conceptual process design is developed with careful consideration of technical performance, operability, safety, constructability and future scalability, providing a solid foundation for Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and detailed engineering.
By combining conventional chemical engineering with advanced process simulation and practical industry experience, our conceptual design consultants help clients minimise technical risk, make informed investment decisions and establish a robust engineering pathway from concept through to commercial implementation.
UNIT CONVERTER SOFTWARE
Feel free to download our comprehensive Engineering Unit Converter software for your personal or professional use. It is provided completely free of charge, with no malware, advertisements, subscriptions or royalties.
Developed for engineers working in the chemical, energy, resources and water industries, this software provides fast and accurate conversions for a comprehensive range of engineering variables, including length, area, volume, mass, density, velocity, acceleration, force, torque, pressure, energy, power, temperature, time, frequency, volumetric and mass flow rates, dynamic and kinematic viscosity, angles, circular measure, fuel consumption, liquid measure and lighting units. It is an ideal companion for engineering calculations, process simulation, design reviews and technical reporting.
Accurate engineering unit conversion is fundamental to engineering design and process conceptual design. Whether preparing preliminary calculations, developing process flow diagrams, sizing equipment or validating simulation inputs, engineers rely on consistent units to ensure technical accuracy and minimise calculation errors throughout a project.
The software is suitable for chemical engineers, process engineers, mechanical engineers, project engineers, consulting engineers, engineering students and other technical professionals who require reliable engineering unit conversions during design, analysis and reporting.
Engineering calculations frequently involve conversions between the SI, Imperial and US customary systems. Manual conversion increases the risk of transcription errors that can affect engineering calculations, equipment sizing, process simulation, technical documentation and engineering decision-making. This software provides a fast and reliable method for performing engineering unit conversions while improving consistency, reducing calculation errors and increasing engineering productivity.
It is particularly useful for process plant design, process conceptual design, equipment sizing, CFD modelling, hydraulic calculations, engineering feasibility studies, process optimisation and the preparation of engineering reports. Whether you are performing hand calculations, reviewing engineering reports, checking process data or verifying simulation inputs, this software helps improve efficiency while reducing the likelihood of manual conversion errors.
