Eclipse Engineer

At Eclipse Engineering, we are a technical analysis and design firm dedicated to providing high-quality services to the chemical process and nuclear/coal-fired power generation industries. Our areas of expertise include ASME and non-ASME equipment and structures, modular process systems, flue gas duct systems, and non-building structures. We work primarily with E&C firms, design/build firms, fabricators, and manufacturers, delivering reliable and practical solutions to your engineering challenges.

What Sets Us Apart

What sets us apart from other engineering firms is our dedication to providing exceptional service and expertise to our clients. You will work with only senior-level engineers with considerable experience in the fields we serve. This means we can hit the ground running on your project and provide solid, practical solutions to your engineering challenges. Additionally, our exclusive EKLIPS automated FEA service allows clients to submit data online and quickly obtain the results, all from any web browser once we've done the initial setup. This easy-to-use service can save you time and money.

Services

At Eclipse Engineering, we offer a range of services to our clients, including:

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Consulting: We provide expert analysis and design services using finite element analysis to simulate the behavior of complex systems and structures.
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Consulting: Our experts use computational fluid dynamics to analyze and optimize fluid flow and heat transfer in various systems and devices.
• Engineering Tools and Automation: We develop customized engineering tools and automation solutions to streamline your design and analysis processes.
• Expertise in ASME and Non-ASME Process Equipment: Our team can consult on the design and analysis of ASME and non-ASME process equipment, including heat exchangers, pumps, and vessels.
• Modular Process Systems: We design and analyze modular process systems, including modular reactors, and other process equipment.
• Flue Gas Duct Systems: Our experts can analyze and design flue gas duct systems, including ducts, hoppers, and other components.
• Non-Building Structures: We provide analysis and design services for non-building structures, including bridges, towers, and other specialized structures.

Project Execution

At Eclipse Engineering, we employ a consistent, proven methodology for executing projects. We place great importance on thorough discussions with the client to ensure full understanding of the project's objectives and design details. We've found this approach reliably produces results that meet our customers' needs. Specifically, we:

• Determine the analysis objective
• Thoroughly define and bound the scope of the project
• Consider general approaches and identify regions of lower importance
• Evaluate the effects of using various alternative approaches
• Ensure the elected modeling technique is flexible for "what if" scenarios
• Understand the effect of realistic boundary conditions on the objective
• Perform the analysis using hand and/or automated methods as appropriate
• Interpret and correlate results to reference material
• Quantify response sensitivity to design features
• If the design does not meet the objective, suggest solutions with a high potential to work
• Generate a report that describes the objective and method, and provides the data and conclusions along with a thorough explanation of the results in terms the client relates to.
