Conceptual plant design

Concept selection involves selecting an optimum process as well as identifying an optimum layout for the proposed facility. Bentley provides software tools to accelerate the screening process and assess any impact it may have on total project cost, constructability, operability, or maintenance concerns, and then seamlessly pass the Design Basis forward into Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED).

The tools cover crucial deliverables such as P&IDs, initial 3D plant model, instrumentation and electrical schematics, procurement data sheets for long-lead items, and tools for collaborative reviews and content management.

Bentley’s approach allows engineering consultants to deliver FEED projects on-time and a high degree of change management, design history and the ability to capture as well as apply best design practices for delivering an even higher-value engineering service to the plant owners.
