Industrial plants often remain in operation for decades. But requirements change: production volumes increase, processes are adapted, and energy efficiency and new technologies become increasingly important.

Building a new plant is not always the most economical solution. METZEN identifies the potential within existing plants and develops retrofit solutions that combine technical feasibility, economic viability and the requirements of ongoing operations.

Analyse first, then modernise

Where are the bottlenecks? Which components are limiting performance, and which existing structures can continue to be used?

This is where METZEN’s Consulting comes in. Experienced Senior Engineers analyse plants and processes, identify optimisation potential and develop tailored technical concepts that consider the interaction of the entire plant.

Integrating new technology into existing structures

In existing plants, interfaces are critical. Structural conditions, supporting structures, conveying routes, existing plant and building data, and ongoing processes define the framework.

METZEN assesses the current condition to create a sound basis for precise planning. Engineering, design, and static and dynamic calculations work hand in hand to integrate new components and processes seamlessly into existing plants.

From planning to commissioning

METZEN combines the key services within one integrated process chain:

• Consulting and analysis
• Plant concept development and engineering
• Design and structural calculations
• In-house manufacturing of components and assemblies
• Assembly and installation
• Commissioning and process optimisation
• After-sales service, maintenance and spare parts supply

This reduces interfaces and enables coordinated implementation from a single source. This close integration is particularly important for modifications during ongoing operations or within tight shutdown windows.

Getting more from existing plants

Retrofit increases performance, productivity and operational reliability while retaining structures that continue to make technical and economic sense. METZEN supports the entire modernisation process, from engineering and manufacturing through to commissioning and long-term support – ensuring plants are ready to meet future requirements.

When it really matters. METZEN.
