Solutions
Value at Every Stage
Startec's highly-trained process team provides value at every stage of your project. For us, the only success is the overall project success. Learn how our tireless dedication to finding solutions can help.
Engineering Solutions
Startec's multi-disciplinary team can craft custom designs to meet any of your processing needs. At the conceptual stage we can help scope your project with our deep understanding of equipment to ensure you have the most pragmatic engineered solutions. Or let us take your existing Pre-FEED or FEED and optimize them to create execution-ready estimates that meet your budget, safety, and operational needs. Our fabrication expertise and consortium approach produces a modularized construction conscious methodology that will reduce cost, schedule duration, and risk.
Optimization and Debottle-Necking
Our experienced process team and field staff can provide trouble-shooting, re-sizing, and debottle-necking of your existing facilities and equipment. Rather than a theoretical report, we'll provide an actual plan on what to do. Our extensive understanding of fabricated equipment can create practical estimates ready to execute the findings.
Fabrication and Procurement
Startec is proficient in high-quality fabrication of compression and process equipment, but we don't stop there. We can provide you with solutions beyond our core process offering, such as the balance of plant and ancillary equipment. Our consortium approach is to ensure we source the best supplier at the best cost for components and equipment.
Commissioning, Start-Up, Maintenance
Our top-notch mechanical service team specializes in pain-free start-ups, smooth retrofits and installations. Our unique combination of field technicians and process engineers provides pragmatic and efficient solutions. Contact us to see how we can help with your field service needs.
Integrated Project Approach
Startec can collaborate with your existing or preferred partners to execute your project. Our collaborative methodology gives you the confidence that each aspect of the project is being handled by the value-added expert that will ensure overall success. With the early involvement of the right key specialists, we can reduce redundancy and create more efficient designs while reducing cost and schedule. Our flexible approach will provide you with the project execution and commercial models that suit any need, from a single process package to turn-key lump sum. Let us show you how our ingenuity can create your project success.
Products
The Solution You Need
Startec's extensive capabilities and experience provide custom solutions. Our in-house engineering, design and a dedicated QC program can deliver the design and build for any product. Our process simulations can take a process flow diagram (PFD) at inception, then engineer and design it using 3D modeling with CAD Works / Navisworks to turn the solution into a tangible pragmatic product. Our two production facilities feature over 40,000 square feet and 60 tons overhead crane capacity. We are ASME U-Stamp certified for pipefittings and process vessels, and CWB and CSA certified for structural. We can provide any fabrication, repair and alteration services to meet any regulatory body, regulation or specification no matter how stringent.
Process
Startec provides a multitude of gas and fluid processing solutions. From traditional O&G products to any other sector, we can help with distillation towers, multiphase separators, heat recovery and gas treating such as amine sweeting. If you have a processing need, we can help.
Rotating Equipment
Startec has engineered and fabricated hundreds of compression packages such as reciprocating, rotary screw, integrally geared centrifugal, liquid ring and more. We also package pumps of all types and sizes. We specialize in arduous applications like high H2S and heavy gases. No application is too large or too tough to work on with you.
Refrigeration
Our company's foundation is firmly rooted in refrigeration — withdrawal of heat from a substance or space so that temperature lower than that of the natural surroundings is achieved. Our expertise includes vapor compression systems using refrigerants such as ammonia, CO2, propane and others, absorption systems or expansion of compressed gases. When something needs to be chilled, we have a solution.
Ready for the Challenge
If you have a research and development project, or an application you'd like to execute that involves packaged equipment such as vessels, heat exchangers or rotating equipment — we can help. We have assisted clients with many different challenges and projects ranging from portable process plants, to chilling mud, to freezing the ground.
International Services
World Wide Scope
Startec has extensive experience designing, engineering, manufacturing and commissioning dewpoint control plants and compression packages for some of the world's largest and most respected resource companies.

AltaGas Hydrocarbon Liquids Recovery Plants and Fractionation Facility Compression & Process
When Startec first became involved, the AltaGas project was behind schedule and without a selected engineering company. In short order, we completed a process simulation for the entire facility from inlet separator through to sales. Working with the EPC, Startec was involved in the detailed design beyond our scope. Following an aggressive timeline, all expected delivery dates were successfully met or exceeded. Total change orders were less than 1.5% of the original contract value.

Seven Generations Hydrocarbon Dew Point Plants Compression & Process
Startec provided an innovative alternate design to that originally conceived by the engineering company. Both projects were delivered earlier than originally scheduled — Lator with a 1.2% change from the original price, Cutbank with a 7.3% change due to increasing the plant from 100 to 125 MMSCFD.

Bonavista Energy Gas Plant Compression & Process
Startec worked directly with Bonavista Energy on process design and defining scope of the plant — no engineering company was involved. The Ansell project was successfully delivered on time with approximately 0.8% change from the original contract price.
