Company:Jimmy Lea P/L
jimmylea is an Australian engineering and simulation consulting firm that specialises in plant engineering design, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluid-structure interaction (FSI), and hydrogen plant design. Founded in 2011, the company is known for delivering technically robust, performance-based engineering solutions that improve safety, enhance efficiency, and support profitability across the process industries.[1]
History
jimmylea was founded in 2011 by Dr Jimmy Lea, a chemical engineer with more than 25 years of experience in advanced simulation and process engineering. Dr Lea established the firm to bridge the gap between conventional engineering design and advanced simulation technologies. Since its founding, jimmylea has grown into a specialist consultancy serving sectors that include [[chemical, energy, resources and water industries.[2]
Platform
Headquartered in Australia, the company maintains offices in Sydney and Singapore, with clients located across Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Singapore. The firm's presence in both Australia and Southeast Asia enables it to service a diverse range of industrial projects throughout the region.
Services
jimmylea applies advanced simulation tools in combination with practical engineering design to deliver performance-based engineering outcomes. Its services span both engineering and simulation disciplines.
Engineering Services
Plant engineering design: Supported by 2D drafting and 3D CAD modelling for mechanical systems, pressure vessels and process equipment. Chemical process engineering: Includes conceptual studies, front-end engineering design (FEED), and detailed design services. Commercial plant scale-up: Involves scaling systems from pilot plant or lab-scale to full commercial production. Photocatalytic hydrogen design: Offers specialised plant design services using photocatalysis for green hydrogen production.
Simulation Services
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD): Applied across sectors such as aerodynamics, environment, food and beverage, shipbuilding, and wastewater. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI): Used to analyse the effects of fluid flow on structures in applications such as gas turbines, heat exchangers and cryogenic equipment. Pipe flow simulation: Includes hydraulic modelling, pump sizing, and pressure drop optimisation. Process dynamics simulation: Used to model transient behaviour of chemical and hydrogen plants.
Professional affiliations
Through its founder, jimmylea is affiliated with Engineers Australia, where Dr Lea is a Fellow and Chartered Professional Engineer, and with the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland, where he is registered in the fields of chemical and management engineering.
