Dairy facilities require clean, temperature-controlled management of ingredients as well as proper design and upkeep of key pasteurization processes. Process engineering services in the dairy industry may include the design and maintenance of mix-proof valve matrixes, CIP systems, and sterilization processes. Dairy facilities also require equipment commissioning in order to meet key compliance requirements and regulatory standards. Our engineering team at EPSILON LIMA has experience with pasteurization units and related processes. Turn to our experts to ensure your facility’s success.
The protein and pet food market involves the design, fabrication, and testing of custom sanitary processes to meet the needs of the client’s manufacturing facility. Food processing requires in-depth knowledge of heat and mass transfer systems for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, as well as careful temperature control for proteins. EPSILON LIMA brings engineering excellence to the food and beverage industry by leading the implementation of custom process skids and driving the overall planning of facilities. Our experts can deliver customized engineering solutions designed for your specific food market.
Solutions Designed For Your Facili
Consumable products must follow stringent regulations that can vary based on location, which means process designers must be familiar with protocols unique to the products being sold in that country. Our team draws on our extensive industry experience to achieve solutions that fit your unique company challenges. We partner with clients on new construction and facility design, as well as retrofit and expansion projects.

Whether you’re looking to build from the ground-up, diagnose and assess your current processes, or implement targeted modifications, our engineering experts provide industry-leading support. As your partner, we help you realize improvements at scale to meet the latest industry standards and set new performance records.
can apply the conceptual process design methods to achieve:
From expert planning with the end goal in mind to close progress monitoring, project management services are important for helping you meet complex targets. When it comes to critical operations and industry-specific challenges, effective project execution is key to your success. Our project management services ensure that your company is appropriately moving forward and meeting business objectives.
ConstructionOur expert team of engineers and construction professionals are experienced in working with industry-specific regulations and strict hygienic standards. Our construction engineering experts possess a strong understanding of the regulations that govern building facilities and equipment in the pharmaceutical, biotech, nuclear, laboratory, cannabis or food and beverage industries. Construction in these spaces often includes highly specialized materials, equipment, and methodologies. Our team helps build facilities using key skill sets and specialized knowledge to ensure your success into the future.
EPSILON LIMA has years of operations and design experience with a wide variety of distillation systems. Many of these systems were unusual in some way (azeotropic, reactive, feeds containing solid particulates, etc.). Our distillation expertise has obvious direct application to producers of food grade products requiring flash distillation or multistage fractionation to purify products such as edible oils, alcoholic beverages, etc. EPSILON LIMA can simulate your existing system and use this as a baseline from which to explore and recommend a variety of process improvements. We are experienced in reboiler design, heat transfer, and vacuum distillation systems, all of which can play a key role in minimizing product degradation in the distillation process.
We depend on our customers to present the product idea; they know their markets and their processes. EPSILON LIMA adds the food and beverage process engineering expertise to translate the idea into reality. The equipment we design and specify is used for long-term mass production; the process must therefore be safe, clean, cost-effective, and robust to produce a consistent quality product.
The focus is on improved technologies for the production of better consumer foods on an economically viable commercial scale. PROCESS can help evaluate operational considerations to improve efficiencies, and to help the client gain a better understanding of the interactions between food products and processes – considerations often overlooked in the past with traditional batch food processes.
As food processing has grown in size and complexity, there has been a corresponding trend toward the use of continuous processing, similar in many ways to the continuous processing found in much of the traditional chemical processing world. The demand worldwide for low-cost, efficient process designs has led to many crossovers between food and chemical plant designs.
As we have seen in recent news, production sanitation, cleanliness, and hygiene are receiving increased emphasis with the various regulatory agencies charged with maintaining the safety of the food chain. The main design activities here concentrate on integration of hygienic measures to improve process sanitation in general, fundamentally sound first principles cleaning procedures, and application of fluid flow principles to improve the hygienic state of process plants.
