Digital Exclusive: Optimize plant design in the hydrocarbon processing industry with advanced CAD tools
Hydrocarbon processing transforms crude oil and natural gas into valuable products such as petrochemicals and fuels. These transformations occur in hydrocarbon processing plants popularly known as refineries, which comprise different processing systems that must work together to ensure efficiency and safety. These systems include electrical, air, cooling, compression and flaring, just to name a few. System components must be installed so they maximize efficiency without hindering production. This article will explore the evolution of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, its advantages and uses throughout the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI).
