Since 1971 — engineering revamps, expansions, and turnarounds for refineries across the U.S. and Canada.
Contact Us Today!Trusted by leading refiners across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Since 1971, Anvil has provided engineering and procurement services to petroleum refineries. We have engineered projects for every refinery in the Pacific Northwest and in other U.S. and Canada locations — including Alaska, California, Utah, Wyoming, and British Columbia.
Continuous refinery engineering practice since 1971, built on multi-generational relationships with operators across North America. Anvil was founded in Bellingham, Washington, and has served Pacific Northwest refineries from day one.
Project experience at every operating refinery in the Pacific Northwest, including bp Cherry Point, Marathon Anacortes, HF Sinclair Puget Sound, and Phillips 66 Ferndale. When a refinery runs in the Pacific Northwest, Anvil has worked there.
Anvil’s reach expanded beyond the Pacific Northwest into Alaska, the Rockies, and the broader continental U.S., serving refineries from Kenai to Billings to the Gulf Coast.
Founded in the Pacific Northwest and now active at refineries across the continent, Anvil brings full-spectrum engineering capability to refinery turnarounds, revamps, and capital projects. From front-end process through detailed design, procurement, and construction support. Our teams are built for live-unit environments: tight outage windows, complex tie-ins, and zero margin for error.
In the downstream sector, turnaround and capital schedule-driven projects are a primary focus. Much of our refinery work is focused on revamps, expansions, and unit infrastructure — engineered around tight outage windows and live tie-ins.
Engineering deliverables sequenced to outage critical paths and material lead times.
De-bottlenecking and unit expansions sized to fit existing footprint and utilities.
Internals, vessels, exchangers and piping revamped to current service and codes.
Project execution paced to refinery capital cycles. Constructability and operability integrated early to ensure what is built is immediately functional.
We have an exceptional depth of experience in integrating new equipment into existing facilities — sequencing demolition, tie-ins, and commissioning around live process units so the refinery keeps running.
Anvil’s depth of experience spans the full refinery process train. The Refinery PFD Heat Map summarizes where we have delivered engineering work — by unit type — across every refinery we’ve supported. Use it as a quick reference for our coverage of crude, vacuum, FCC, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, reforming, alkylation, sulfur recovery, and supporting utilities.
Power, controls and instrumentation engineered for refinery service — hazardous-area classification, high-availability power, and the integration of new measurement and control into legacy DCS / PLC environments.
Refinery work lives or dies on PSM compliance and asset integrity. Anvil provides process safety, mechanical integrity and turnaround safety support — built around the operator’s PSM program and the realities of an operating unit.
PSM program support and documentation lifecycle. PHA / HAZOP facilitation and revalidation. Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA). Process simulation for what-if and consequence modeling. Management of Change (MOC) engineering support.
Anvil designs with safety embedded from the start, building OSHA-compliant process safety management systems and incorporating all applicable safety codes and regulations into constructable, operable designs. Our refinery engineering integrates emissions-driven and permitting-aligned solutions, helping clients stay ahead of regulatory and environmental requirements while protecting plant operations and surrounding communities.
Fitness-for-service and mechanical integrity evaluations. Vessel alterations, re-rates and inspection-driven repairs. Safety Instrumented System (SIS) design and lifecycle documentation. Turnaround safety engineering and isolation planning.
Anvil’s downstream practice spans the continental United States and Alaska — with primary operations concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, Rockies, and Interior West. Our engineering teams are embedded in the regions where our clients operate, providing on-site support when it matters most.
