We optimize and modernize existing systems without losing sight of operations.

Refineries According to Vicoma

If you’re responsible for a refining process, you know that safety, continuity, and efficiency must be ensured under all circumstances.

At Vicoma, our engineers work every day to improve processes within (bio)refineries. With a critical eye, they ask the right questions and translate complex issues into clear and well-thought-out advice. Whether it involves monitoring gas storage, optimizing a (bio)plant, or distilling specific liquids, we provide an approach that ensures your project stays on track, both technically and practically.

From Refining to Sustainability: Engineering with a Broad Perspective

As a consulting and engineering firm, we have many years of experience in the oil and gas sectors, as well as extensive expertise in biorefining. The industry is becoming more sustainable, and we are helping an increasing number of companies with processes such as the recovery of heat and electricity or the blending of biofuels. We work on multidisciplinary projects, such as STOP preparations, but also carry out smaller projects, such as civil engineering inspections.

Thanks to our wide range of services, including those in other markets, we analyze your challenge from every angle. With this tailored approach and our independent advice, we find the most intelligent solution. We work with dedicated teams and are happy to visit your facility to optimize your refining process.

Vicoma’s areas of expertise in (bio)refineries:

  • Designing systems for the production, processing, and storage of liquids, solids, powders, piece goods, and bulk materials
  • The handling and transport of the above-mentioned (fluid) substances and products
  • The design and engineering of industrial facilities, control rooms, and substations
  • Plant engineering consists of process equipment, piping, instruments, tanks, silos, machinery, and conveyor belts
