Project
Streamlining Design and Engineering

Organization
USFilter

BE Awards category
New Technology Adoption

Project objectives

  • Implement 3D software to improve the quality, schedule and cost.
  • Use MicroStation to work with AutoCAD drawings.

Fast facts

  • For all projects, isometric drawings are created using Bentley AutoIsogen.
  • The use of Bentley Navigator for walk-throughs and visualization makes possible the early detection of interferences and capitalizes on the use of the 3D model.
  • In the course of one week, a full 3D model was prepared, including all major piping and equipment.

Bentley products used

  • MicroStation TriForma
  • MicroStation
  • Bentley PlantSpace Piping
  • Bentley Navigator
  • Bentley Structural

USFilter Electrocatalytic Products (USFEP), a group within USFilter, recently made the decision to integrate Bentley MicroStation and plant design solutions to improve quality, meet schedules, and reduce costs. One of the key selling points in this decision was MicroStation’s ability to work with AutoCAD drawings.

USFEP is a leading provider of hypochlorination and electrochemical equipment designed to control biological fouling and corrosion at power plants, petrochemical facilities as well as ships and offshore facilities. To better serve the users of its customers, USFEP determined that it needed design software that was spec-driven and could easily produce isometric and
fabrication drawings.
