Consistently planning individual processes – using Eplan

The oil and gas industry is facing profound changes in view of the worldwide trend toward renewable energies. Climate policy requirements, investor demands and new market opportunities make the switch to more sustainable forms of energy not just necessary, but strategically indispensable.

Eplan supports technical decision-makers with digital, integrated, end-to-end engineering solutions that enable documentation in multiple languages that complies with various global standards, open system integration via standardized interfaces, and a constantly updated digital twin of the system.

This results in maximum transparency, improved plant availability and complete control – from the FEED phase to ongoing operations. Aside from simplifying project processes, Eplan also speeds up commissioning and makes modification easier – with software, consulting and training all from a single source. 

With Eplan Preplanning, Eplan Electric P8 and Eplan Pro Panel, planners can make the transition from laboratory scale and simulations to specific plant system planning. The integrated, end-to-end system environment enables the flexible and fast planning of laboratory plants with fewer errors – from the initial idea to actual realization. All the planning steps are implemented according to the relevant norms and standards without any media discontinuities. 

This approach also includes adjustments and expansions during ongoing operations and ensures that all analyses are automatically updated. As a result, the documentation always remains up to date for the plant’s entire life cycle, ensuring safety and security during operations and facilitating audits and certifications. 

Eplan now also supports Module Type Package (MTP), a standardized interface format for describing process engineering modules, thereby enabling the implementation of the principle “modular design instead of customized planning.” For plant system engineering, modular concepts allow processes to be implemented much more quickly and with more flexibility. 

A sustainable chemical industry requires efficiency, flexibility and digitization. Eplan provides comprehensive, end-to-end engineering solutions with the integrated digital twin – for optimized processes, faster time to market and maximum transparency throughout. 

From process engineering to electrotechnology, from engineering to control cabinet construction: Eplan connects processes in the chemical industry across disciplines, automates workflows and seamlessly integrates into existing systems such as ERP and PDM. This increases your efficiencies along the entire value chain – standard compliant, sustainably and with a growth focus. 

Eplan offers consistent, tried-and-tested solutions for the entire water management sector – from planning pumping stations and pipeline networks to maintenance on waterworks. 

Projects can efficiently be implemented and downtimes significantly reduced thanks to the high degree of standardization, digital workflows and integrated disciplines including process technology, I&C, fluid-power and electrical engineering. 

Functions such as remote viewing and greenlining and redlining ensure maximum transparency for servicing and maintenance operations – and increase the operational security of your water technology systems. 

Eplan supports you in fulfilling technical and environmental requirements in a reliable and sustainable way – whether for the drinking water supply, wastewater treatment or for special customized solutions. Reap the benefits of integrated workflows – from engineering to project management to the maintenance of your water technology infrastructure.
