Front-end engineering, particularly conceptual design, has become pivotal to successful plant construction project implementation. Companies realize that key decisions made early in the conceptual design phase drive downstream engineering tasks and govern the operability, performance, and economics of operating a facility.
Bentley provides a comprehensive set of integrated products that automate the conceptual design of complex plants, automatically generate process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), convert simple 2D process diagrams into working 3D models, and feed downstream processes.
The early review of design data and related information means that designers, process engineers, operators, and maintenance supervisors can work together to quickly implement changes that optimize plant functionality and minimize costs.
