We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Process Engineer", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Steam traps cut energy bill for chemical company from Gardner Energy Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "As the GEM steam traps have no moving parts to wedge open or fail, they provide great reliability, necessitating only minimal maintenance and requiring no spares, testing or monitoring equipment". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Simulation software optimises truck plant design from Dassault Systemes: "Through 3D visualisation of the building and workcell layout, Delmia is helping MAN minimise costs and potential production problems".
 
In March 2007, we covered the news from Delmia - take a look at Automotive company adopts PLM software which says: "On the basis of a group-wide agreement, DPE will be employed in all production sites for strategic assembly planning for the Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat brands".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Raytek Corp, Imaging system isn't fooled by glass reflection, as well as McCann increases Northern service from Houghton UK, and Safety training courses from exida.
