Process Design and Process Safety Consultants
Integro Design Engineering Associates (IDEA) is a process-led, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy supporting asset-intensive and regulated chemical industries. We help clients design new process plants, modify existing facilities, manage safety and compliance risk, and transform energy-intensive processes for a lower-carbon future. Headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, we support clients across UK, Europe and Internationally. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a chemical process plant from early concept and feasibility, through FEED and detailed design, to construction, commissioning and long-term operational support. Whether you are developing a new facility, modifying an existing plant, addressing safety and compliance obligations, or reducing energy and carbon intensity, we provide process-led engineering support aligned to how your plant is actually designed, built and operated.
How we help our clients
Clients typically engage IDEA when projects or assets involve chemical processes, flammable materials, live operations and regulatory scrutiny. We work alongside owner teams to bring clarity, structure and confidence to complex decisions.
We cover:- Process Engineering & Plant Design – We support the design and modification of chemical and process facilities, from early feasibility through to commissioning. This includes new chemical process plants, brownfield expansions, utilities upgrades and plant modifications where safety, operability and constructability are critical.
- Process Safety & Compliance – We help clients understand and manage process safety and compliance obligations such as HAZOP, DSEAR, COMAH and functional safety, ensuring risks are reduced proportionately and solutions remain practical and auditable.
- Process Energy Transformation – For energy-intensive operations such as distillation, evaporation and thermal processing, we support energy audits, net zero roadmaps and process energy transformation, including heat recovery, vapour recompression and electrification strategies.
- Multidiscipline Engineering – Where in-house resources are stretched or independent assurance is required, we provide multidisciplinary specialist support across process, mechanical, piping, electrical and control disciplines.
