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 > Calculation of structure, auxiliaries and enclosures > 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

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 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.
