About Us
Process Ecology was founded in Calgary, Alberta in 2003. We have
substantial experience in engineering consulting for the oil and gas
industry, as well as detailed knowledge of the process simulation
software business, acquired by the founders over the last decade
while working with leading process simulation software companies
Hyprotech/Aspentech and as part of our independent software and
services activities.

We have been involved in a number of projects for the oil and gas
sector that include the development of large and complex simulation
models (both steady state and dynamic modes) built mainly on the
HYSYS simulation environment; our involvement typically involves the
building of simulation models, plant data matching (validation)  and
performance monitoring tools. We have participated directly in the
design and development of some of the most innovative simulation
tools such as RefSYS, HX-Net, Distil, Icarus and others. We have
developed specialized extensions both for unit operations and fluid
property packages, including heavy oils. Our team of world-class
experts in the development and application of process simulation and
optimization software products offer a combined set of competencies
that enables our clients to extract real value from computer-aided
process engineering systems.

Process Ecology also has access to a worldwide network of
associates that extends from North America to the Middle East and Far
East as well as Europe and South America, all of which have been
active in process modelling and simulation projects ranging from
conceptual design to detailed design and costing of process plants.

The Process Ecology Management Team represents over 30 years of
experience in process simulation development and modelling.

Specific areas of expertise include:
  • gas plant support (dehydration, refrigeration, JT,compression,
    sweetening, etc.)
  • benzene emissions management
  • gas hydrate formation
  • heavy oil characterization
  • heavy oil transport
  • thermodynamics - multiphase behaviour
