Plant Engineering
From the conceptual phase to construction, CADE takes on any engineering package in power generation, processing and utility plants by assisting in the development of all the following areas:
Technological consulting
> Identification and evaluation of existing technologies in the market paired with economic analysis of the same

Basic-Process Engineering
> Adaptation and Integration of the latest technology 
> P&ID Development 
> PFD Generation 
> Scaling of plants
> Energy efficiency studies
> Process simulation and optimization
> Definition and calculation of process equipment (pumps, exchangers, tanks, filters, vacuum groups, etc.)
> Control valve sizing
> Safety valve sizing
> Definition and calculation of auxiliary systems (steam, thermal, inerting, compressed air, cooling equipment)
> Definition of instrumentation and control loops

Validation and optimization of specifications of Basic Engineering and cost reduction
> Pipe specifications (thicknesses, materials, type of clamps, design pressures, regulations of reference, etc.)
> Hydraulic pipe calculations as an alternative to the use of pipe schedules to determine flow rates and water velocity
> Pumping groups: adaptation of the group to the operational point with minimum energy consumption
> Plant layout optimization through modern CAD tools which offer accurate 3D visualization and total data integrity by comparing alternative layout concepts to minimize pipe layout
> Piping layout
> Pressure equipment (checking design conditions, tank thicknesses and connections)
> Steam installations (study of recovery of revaporized elements).
> Cooling installations with compression cycles (study for the use of the power of the refrigerating condenser for the preheating of process currents)
> Manual valve specifications (checking of materials, rating, connections)
> Safety valve specifications (checking of materials, alternative devices, checking of flows and triggering pressures).
> Control valve specifications (reduction of load losses in relation to the selected pumping groups).
> Process plant area classifications: checking the type of classification and requisites for each of the elements to install.

Detail engineering
> Specification development
> Pipes
> Valves
> Equipment assembly
> Structure assembly
> Pipe assembly
> Supports
> Insulation
> Painting
> Calculation of pipe thicknesses
> Calculation of tracing systems (steam/electrical)
> Flexibility analysis and pipe stress
> Civil Engineering

> Generation of lists (valves, lines, instrumentation, static equipment, pumps, etc.)
> Generation of isometrics
> Generation of pipe implementation plans
> Generation of 3D models
> Generation of Data Sheets
> Equipment: Calculation and manufacturing plans
> CE Marking/legalization of installations
> Job supervision
> Mechanical assembly supervision (structure, equipment, pipes)
> Civil  supervision
> Financial control
>Equipment management
Purchasing management
> Purchase specifications
> Search and selection of suppliers
> Bid tabulation
> Generation of documentation for formalizing orders
> Bid follow-up
> Supervision of manufacturing

  • North Africa Finally Sees the Light

     

    CAIRO, 2010 Apr 27 - Europe's appetite for renewable energy and a shifting tide in domestic energy policies could turn North Africa into major exporter of solar power by the end of the decade.

  • ASME Code and PED - The new Section VIII Division 2 - really everything new?

    1. Summary

    ASME has published a completely rewritten Section VIII Division 2. Under the PED this Division evidences advantages compared to the preceding editions. Numerous changes have been compiled to a modern pressure vessel Code, which has the potential for an international best-seller. Compliance with PED is not guaranteed, but made easier than in the past. Now it is up to the users to vote for the success of the new Division 2.
