Field Services

Whether looking at services for an individual component, a specific piece of process equipment, an entire facility or even multi-asset infrastructure, Joule deploys a comprehensive portfolio of in-house expertise when evaluating performance against varying operating conditions.

Process Optimization

In a market downturn, facilities see vast changes in operating conditions when compared to original design assumptions and parameters. Decreased production, varying ambient conditions, composition changes or changes in commercial obligations leave room to reevaluate. Whether through on-site analysis or remote monitoring and reporting, Joule can review day-to-day operations and month-to-month trends to recommend operational adjustments, equipment modifications or functional changes.

Automation

Automation is an often-overlooked aspect of facility design and operations. Typically seen as a market premium less valued during the development of the project budget, automation is in fact a key component to driving down operational costs. The ability for larger organizations to connect assets to their enterprise has tremendous value when assets are going to market, both for the seller and the buyer.
