Market segments
BM Process Management has over 15 years of experience in several markets that have one thing in common: all are ‘process industries’. This combination of experiences and markets gives you one big advantage: cross contamination of ideas and solutions that an engineer or consultant focused on just one market cannot provide.
Interested in the opportunities? Contact BM Process Management for a conversation on your questions!
Oil, gas and chemicals
Expertise Where It Matters Most
The oil, gas, and chemical industries present some of the most demanding challenges in engineering, project execution, and safety. Large-scale installations, complex projects, and significant safety risks require expertise and experience.
At BM Process Management, we bring extensive experience across the entire project lifecycle—from conceptual engineering to startup and commissioning—primarily in the downstream sector.
Refineries, tank storage, plastics production, shipping facilities, truck and railcar loading, emission control—whatever the challenge, we provide strive to provide added value.
Energy & Utilities
Energy is an essential part of our communities. The energy transition is a subject that will dominate the agendas worldwide for the coming decades. Securing sustainable and reliable energy is a challenge we have to face.
Sustainable energy in the future also requires a transition by using the sources we have at our disposal in a smarter and more efficient way. Waste-to-energy, biomass, biogas, waste heat recovery, energy consumption reduction of existing processes: all of these are items on which we can be of assistance.
Utilities such as steam, hot water, thermal oil systems, compressed air, cooling water: they are the lifeblood of the process industry. We have extensive experience in these systems to ensure good and safe design or improvements of existing systems.
Tank storage
The tank storage part of the industry is an often overlooked ‘last link in the chain’. It is just storage of liquid or gaseous bulk products, so how hard can that be?
The tank storage is a small link in the total supply chain, but one that can influence the success of that chain in a far greater way than its total cost would imply. It is about storing products with care, in a safe and sustainable way.
Due to over 10 years of experience in the tank storage industry, BM Process Management knows what’s at stake in this industry. Initial design of tank farms, upgrading existing facilities, debottlenecking, safety issues, utility systems, emission control systems, loading facilities for trucks, railcars, barges and vessels or the engineering of storage tanks.
Food & beverage, feed
Food is at the core of our daily life. Feed for livestock is of vital importance for our food supply. Producing food and feed in a smart and sustainable way is a huge challenge to feed an ever-growing population with a lesser impact on the planet.
Interestingly, we have found found during our experience with food projects (beverages, ready-to-eat meals, starch production, animal feed) that there is a huge cross section between the oil, gas and chemicals segments and the food industry. Solutions developed in one industry can very well be used in another. One just should see it and grab the opportunity or at least come up with the idea.
Food safe and hygienic design for instance is very much akin to the design used in chemical plants to prevent contamination and prevent build-up of residues. Clean-in-place procedures from food plants can be very practical in the tank storage industry for instance.
Food companies sometimes lack the experience or input from process experts that can enable them to make their plants safer, smarter and easier to use and maintain. Not only food safety is at stake, also process safety is a growing point of attention in the food production industry. For example, HAZOP and LOPA studies do not only attribute to a safer design but also form a very good platform to identify food-safety related risks.

This month’s feature: emission control in tank storage
In March, the 20th edition of StocExpo is held in Ahoy Rotterdam. Stocexpo is the leading event for safe and sustainable tank storage. We wrote an article detailing our approach to facing the challenges of a changing world in Tank Storage Magazine.
What Is Materials Engineering Science Processing and Design?
Materials engineering is the backbone of innovation in nearly every field, ranging from aerospace and automotive to electronics and healthcare. But what exactly does materials engineering science, processing, and design involve? How do engineers choose and manipulate materials to meet complex design goals? This blog breaks down the core principles of materials engineering, its processing […]
What Are VOC Measuring Instruments and How Do They Work?
VOC Measuring Instruments VOC measuring instruments are devices used to detect and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. VOCs are a group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature and are commonly found in paints, solvents, adhesives, cleaning products, fuels, and industrial emissions. Exposure to high levels of VOCs can cause […]
What Is a Vapour Recovery Unit and How Does It Work?
In industries where volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrocarbon vapors are common, managing emissions is both an environmental and regulatory necessity. This is where the Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) plays a critical role. But what exactly is a VRU, and how does it work? Let’s dive into how vapour recovery units function, where they’re used, […]
