About Flow Systems Performance Group

A consulting practice built around one discipline: how liquids and gases move through industrial piping and ducting systems, and what happens when that flow changes.

Specialist flow consulting

FSPG works with plant and facility engineers, project leads, reliability teams and engineering firms who need a flow system modeled, checked or explained. The work is led by our Principal Consultant, a chemical engineer who has worked in pump, piping and ducting flow analysis since 2011.

That experience includes years as an applications specialist for the AFT software family, supporting engineers worldwide, teaching training seminars and webinars, and consulting on hydraulic models and waterhammer studies for refining, power, water and building clients.
