One of our clients located in the Moerdijk industrial area had developed a project to further enhance their plant safety. Among other aspects, changing gear boxes and motors and improvement of production hall ventilation were specifically targeted. Prove Engineering were asked to provide project management support and manage the installation on site. Working with SPIE Read more about Project focus – Ewout Feenstra[…]
It´s hard to believe, but at June 8th it´s 5 years already since Elwin and I set sail on this joint venture called Prove Engineering. They say that time flies when you´re having fun, so I suppose it´s no surprise that it only feels like yesterday that we signed the founding paperwork for Prove Engineering.

In our childhood and teenage years we grow as we get older. The same goes for Prove Engineering. Since our conception in 2015, we’ve grown modestly but steadily, from the 2 founding fathers in 2015 to the team of 4 process engineers we are today. When we set sail in 2015 we didn’t aim to Read more about A new loot to the Prove Engineering tree[…]
Dutch cuisine probably wouldn’t rank high on a global culinary hitlist, if such a list were to exist. We might win our fellow Earthlings over with our pastries, like ‘stroopwafels’ or ‘poffertjes’ or with the chocolate sprinkles that we put on our sandwiches, but ‘hutspot met klapstuk’, ‘boerenkool met worst’ en ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ require advanced Read more about Prove Engineering @ KraftHeinz[…]

With the end of 2016 rapidly approaching, it won’t be long before we’ll be watching and maybe even lighting fireworks. While we may enjoy the noise and the colourful lights of firework shows, explosions are definitely among the effects that we’re least keen on witnessing in industrial production processes. To minimise the risk of such Read more about ATEX Safety Expert[…]
A plant is properly designed when the most expensive process step is being used to its full capacity. For example, an expensive reactor, which has a thermal oil system running to heat it up, a vacuum system sucking out the air to increase the distillation rate and has an operator on shift 24/7 to run the Read more about Tank farm basic engineering[…]
Prove Engineering likes to do things the correct way. With our current customer base being mostly in the edible oil business this means doing things hygienically: avoiding flat surfaces, dead spaces and making sure every piece of product-related equipment is cleanable. But why try to figure out all the hygienic design do’s and dont’s by Read more about EHEDG Membership[…]
