Mahler AGS, an international leader in hydrogen plant design and manufacturing, upgraded its design software to Intergraph's CADWorx Plant Professional and CAESAR II to improve efficiency. The new software enabled Mahler to complete design of a modular hydrogen plant for a palm oil company within 5 months. Use of the new software reduced project man-hours by 10-15% and time spent on stress calculations by 25-30%. Following the successful project, Mahler has used the Intergraph software to design 4 additional plants.

Gas Liquid Engineering - Presentation BrazilSistema FIEB
Apresentação de Peter Griffin, da Gas Liquid Engineering, durante o evento promovido pelo Sistema FIEB, Fundamentos da Exploração e Produção de Não Convencionais: a Experiência Canadense.
CADISON celebrates its 15-year journey this year. Right from the beginning, its unique design philosophy & architecture and engineering data-driven solution approach has been a core strength. It allows seamless unification of data, objects and workflows – naturally yielding the ‘Single Version of Truth’ throughout the project life-cycle across various stakeholders of the enterprise, be it different disciplines or sites or suppliers.
CAESAR II é uma solução completa que permite uma análise rápida e precisa dos sistemas de tubulações sujeitos a uma ampla variedade de cargas que levam em consideração as condições de peso, de pressão, térmicas, sísmicas e outras condições estáticas e dinâmicas. Ele pode analisar sistemas de tubulações de virtualmente qualquer dimensão ou complexidade.

Faster Development
Simulation enables shipbuilders to shorten their engineering development cycle by troubleshooting designs
using virtual prototypes. Simulations of virtual prototypes provide not only gross performance parameters,
but also detailed phenomenological data and the insight needed to make design decisions quickly, with confidence and authority. For example: the impact of appendage placement on a hull can be quickly assessed to
determine the optimal location; sail designs can be easily optimized; stress concentrations in structural
members can be efficiently identified and reduced; and electromagnetic interference can be determined
and mitigated.
Lower Cost and Higher Quality
Identifying problems with virtual prototypes not only saves time, it also reduces development costs and improves
quality, safety and reliability. Parts and systems work as expected, with fewer surprises. The effect of different operating conditions and environments — such as different flow profiles entering the
propulsion system — can be readily assessed. Thicknesses and fiber orientations in composite structures can be quickly determined. Vibrations and fatigue can be minimized,
and explosions and safety hazards mitigated.
Innovative Design
Innovative designs often require innovative engineering solutions. For example, the design of cargo space with
fewer pillars requires a novel structural solution to support the applied loads. A longer cargo room
requires a shorter engine compartment and a novel hull form. Using simulation, innovations in materials can be
exploited with greater confidence. Such innovations need to be modified extensively to realize practical designs.
Simulation guides these modifications and steers the solution to an optimal design.

1. CASE STUDY: Mahler AGS, Germany
Mahler AGS significantly saves labor
hours by upgrading to Intergraph®
CADWorx®
Plant Professional & CAESAR II®
Improved user-friendliness and easier implementation increase
efficiency across design and manufacturing processes
IDENTIFYING GOALS
Mahler AGS is an international leader in designing and manufacturing hydrogen
generation plants, specializing in steam reforming and pressure swing
absorption technology. With more than 60 years of experience in the business,
the company provides tailored, turn-key solutions for clients across different
chemical sectors.
Mahler AGS was employed to design and manufacture a modular hydrogen
plant for a leading global company in the palm oil business. The resulting plant
is now used to refine crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil. The plant design
is based on Mahler AGS’ HYDROFORM-C hydrogen generation plant series.
This is Mahler’s turnkey plant design solution for hydrogen generating plants,
focusing on flexibility and full automation. As part of the modular design prin-
ciple, Mahler preassembled and delivered the plant as prefabricated units.
Mahler AGS was looking for both a new pipe stress analysis software as well as
one to replace its existing design software (X-Plant) that included a modern 3D
planning solution. The new system needed to be compatible with the previous
AutoCAD-based software, easy-to-use, and fast to implement so it could
minimize project downtime and delay. Intergraph®
CADWorx Plant Professional
and CAESAR II were chosen due to their AutoCAD®
-based
structure, scalability, and suitability for the project scope.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
A tight time schedule and mixed existing ASME/DIN EN piping codes affected
the design and manufacturing process of the new plant. Meeting the strict
project deadlines was ensured by the efficiency and accuracy of CADWorx
Plant Professional. As an AutoCAD-based solution, most of the users already
had experience with a similar product and were able to get up-to-speed quickly.
Even though this was the first of Mahler’s projects in which Intergraph
solutions were executed, only a short adoption time was needed because
