Braskem Selects Intergraph SmartPlant Enterprise
 HUNTSVILLE, Alabama,
May 24, 2007 - Braskem, Latin America’s leading petrochemical company, has
selected Intergraph’s SmartPlant Enterprise engineering solutions to enhance
productivity, increase the capacity of its industrial plants, and support
the development of environmentally-compliant projects. Sisgraph,
Intergraph’s exclusive representative in Latin America, was responsible for
the sale.
Braskem chose Intergraph’s SmartPlant Enterprise solutions including PDS
and SmartPlant Instrumentation to standardize its tools and improve the
accuracy of materials surveys in response to its challenge of building a new
piping system in existing plants without interfering with operations.
“We selected Intergraph’s solutions because they support our productivity
requirements, can integrate multidisciplinary data, and reduce the time
needed to create engineering designs. Additionally, Intergraph provides the
most complete solution available and its technology is trusted by the market
inside and outside of Brazil,” said Jorge Luis Menezes, Braskem’s
engineering manager.
Because most plant improvement projects are made in real operating
structures, Braskem’s engineering team needed to simulate how the new design
will interact with the existing plant layout. Braskem plans to perform an
as-built plant survey by combining Intergraph’s PDS 3D modeling capabilities
with laser scanning technology.
“We plan to perform a laser scan of the plant to acquire an image of all
of its physical objects. That image will become a 3D model which we will
process through PDS to develop the project,” explained Ivo Andrei, Braskem’s
piping specialist. Andrei said that Intergraph’s systems will reduce the
time to design and construct new projects and will improve the overall
quality of the projects, resulting in better materials acquisition and fewer
operational disruptions as well as facilitate future plant modifications.
Sisgraph is providing training and support to Braskem and its partner
engineering companies to ensure a successful implementation.
