Process Commissioning
Making Process Systems Production-Ready
Process commissioning picks up where facilities commissioning leaves off: making sure the systems that make your product actually perform the way they were designed and are ready for start-up.
We work in industries where getting it right the first time matters, like food and beverage, bioprocessing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, oil and gas, and power generation. These are deeply regulated environments with complex operations, often involving new technology or first-of-a-kind installations. Our team brings deep understanding of the processes themselves — sterile aerobic fermentation, GMP facilities, precision manufacturing, process safety management (PSM) — so we know what to watch for during start-up and where to test.
Process commissioning starts during design, not after construction. We integrate Merrick’s technical experts and subject matter specialists with your engineers and operators early, building the IQ/OQ/PQ process around your unique production requirements. We’re boots-on-the-ground through construction and startup, participating in daily status meetings, driving schedule and sequencing, and working hand-in-hand with your team to hit production targets.
Our services include:
- Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Start-up planning and sequencing
- Systems integration and performance verification
- Regulatory compliance support
- Operating procedure development
- Operator training and production readiness
