Reduce off-spec production and cut energy costs without changing your control system.

Reduce off-spec production and cut energy costs without changing your control system.

Reduce off-spec production and cut energy costs without changing your control system.

We work with chemical manufacturers, from specialty chemicals and pharma intermediates to performance materials, helping you identify practical operating changes that improve yield, reduce variability, and cut energy waste. All using the historian data you already collect, with no changes to your control system.

ProZeolis combines chemical engineering, data analysis, and carefully applied machine learning to deliver clear, evidence-based recommendations.

We analyse your historian data to identify hidden inefficiencies affecting yield, quality consistency, and energy consumption across your chemical operations.

Clean and profile your batch data

You send a CSV or Excel export from your historian or existing tools. We check data quality, align process cycles (whether batch, campaign, or continuous operation), and build a clean dataset with key operating conditions, quality results, and any available lab data.

Identify drivers of yield, energy, and variability

Using a mix of statistical analysis, data science, chemical engineering and process engineering judgment, we pinpoint which variables, and combinations of variables, are actually driving yield, energy use, cycle time, and off-spec product.

Propose recommendations that respect your safety and quality limits

We explore feasible operating windows and recipe tweaks that respect your safety, quality, and equipment constraints, then highlight a small number of operating changes that are realistic for your plant to trial.

Analysis and modelling (week one)

Over the first week, we clean and align the data, carry out exploratory analysis, and build models to understand how key variables affect yield, energy use, and quality. Engineering judgment is used throughout to keep everything physically and operationally sensible.

Every process is different, and our optimisation studies are designed to deliver:

  • The operating changes most likely to improve your process - recommendations with the strongest evidence in your data

  • The operating changes most likely to improve your process - recommendations with the strongest evidence in your data

  • The operating changes most likely to improve your process - recommendations with the strongest evidence in your data

  • Expected impact on yield, energy use, cycle time etc. - we provide ranges derived from statistical analysis of your specific data

ABOUT PROZEOLIS

Chemical engineering expertise meets modern data science

Chemical engineering expertise meets modern data science

ProZeolis is a specialist consultancy focused exclusively on process optimisation for small and mid-sized chemical manufacturers. We work with plants in varying fields including speciality chemicals, ingredients, fine chemicals, and contract manufacturing - helping process engineers and operations teams extract more value from the data they already collect. Our approach combines classical process engineering methods with modern data analysis and carefully applied machine learning. Founded on rigorous engineering fundamentals (BEng Chemical Engineering, University of Manchester) and applied AI expertise (MSc Computer Science), we've built and deployed machine learning systems and optimisation tools in industrial settings. Now we focus exclusively on helping SME chemical plants compete with the analytical capabilities of larger enterprises.The goal is always the same: practical, evidence-based recommendations your engineers can understand, challenge, and implement - not impenetrable algorithms or theoretical studies, but clear, actionable recommendations.
