Reading an ASME Vessel Specification

Understand ASME vessel requirements affecting quality, compliance, documentation, and fabrication costs.

Odessa, TX – PermianLide, a leading designer and fabricator of engineered process equipment, today announced it has rebranded as Novus Process Systems (“the Company”). The new name reflects the company’s transformation over the past five years and its strategic focus on serving high-growth, mission-critical end markets including data center infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and industrial processing.
Founded as Permian Tank & Manufacturing in 1976, the company built a fifty-year reputation for fabrication quality in the energy sector. Following its 2020 acquisition by New Mountain Capital, the business undertook a deliberate transformation – consolidating to two production facilities in Odessa and Troy, Texas, investing in engineering and quality systems, and building a team capable of serving the most demanding industrial buyers in North America.


CEO Message
“Novus means new – and that is exactly what this represents,” said Chris Maier, Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud of where we came from, and we are even more excited about where we are going. This new identity reflects the company we have become: an engineering-driven manufacturer ready to compete and win in the markets that will define the next decade.”


The name Novus – Latin for “new” – represents the company’s next chapter: building on a proven foundation while expanding into new end market verticals. Novus Process Systems continues to design and fabricate ASME pressure vessels, API storage tanks, thermal energy storage systems, modular process systems, and custom engineered equipment, delivered to the highest codes and standards in the industry.


The company’s new website, novusprocess.com, launches alongside the rebrand.


Current Customers and Partners


The Company’s ownership, management and operations, including customer relationships, contracts, certifications, and points of contact remain unchanged. Customer and partner interactions with the Company will continue as normal and the Company expects no disruption to current production operations.
