C3.ai(US:AI) Sou Hu Cai Jing·2025-12-30 04:08Project Overview - Air Liquide Engineering & Construction (E&C) is focused on providing proprietary technology solutions for processing facilities and related infrastructure globally, covering areas such as hydrogen and nitrogen production, cryogenics, syngas, petrochemicals, LNG, and oleochemicals, showcasing its extensive industry influence and technical strength [1] Project Goals - Air Liquide E&C has been selected to construct the Godrej II project in Gujarat, India, which includes two oleochemical production facilities: a fatty acid separation distillation plant with a daily capacity of 120 tons and a glycerin distillation bleaching plant with a daily capacity of 35 tons. Both facilities utilize advanced Lurgi technology, producing high-purity products applicable in food, cosmetics, detergents, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals [2] Challenges Faced - The Godrej II project posed significant challenges, including the need to design and deliver over 58 complex pieces of equipment within a tight 12-14 month commissioning timeline, demanding high efficiency and expertise from the team. Additionally, it marked the team's first experience in designing heat exchangers, requiring rapid mastery of new technologies to ensure design accuracy and reliability. The absence of advanced automation tools could lead to human errors, resulting in costly rework and project delays [4] Solutions Implemented - To address these challenges, Air Liquide E&C opted for PV Elite software, which integrates comprehensive design standards and advanced automation tools, enabling engineers to provide optimal design solutions in a short timeframe, significantly enhancing work efficiency and design quality. The software facilitated rapid and precise completion of tower lifting analyses and the design of heat exchangers that met specific project requirements, often exceeding conventional TEMA classification standards [4] Achievements - With the support of PV Elite, Air Liquide E&C successfully completed all design calculations and generated mechanical data sheets and other deliverables, improving overall project quality and execution efficiency. The use of PV Elite not only saved significant man-hours and reduced human errors but also avoided high costs associated with rework, making timely completion of tasks under tight deadlines feasible. Air Liquide E&C was also awarded the Drivers of Success award as the runner-up in the PV Elite category [6]
