Lattice Boom Crane Operator

Optimized Process Designs, LLC (OPD) is a name in the natural gas industry that has become synonymous with quality design and construction, competitive pricing, and on time delivery of processing, treating, and compression facilities.

Incorporated in 1980, OPD is still managed by its original founders whose reputation for honesty, integrity and technical excellence is unmatched in the industry.

In 1997, OPD became a Koch Chemical Technology Group company, which further enhanced OPD's reputation and increased its financial strength.

OPD has a key advantage in being able to supply construction services, as well as engineering/procurement.

This enables clients to have a ''one stop shop'' for the overall project, providing increased efficiency and avoiding potential interface problems.

OPD's industry experience, flexibility, and personal attention have made us a preferred vendor with our clients.
