LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Trust “

Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time. “ Arthur Ashe

Trust is highly valued, yet it cannot be bought or sold. It must be earned over the test- ing of the years. Intergraph solutions like SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators have earned the trust of many customers by working to solve their complex and varied workflows around the world. When I first started working for Intergraph in 2001, Owner Operators comprised less than 10 percent of our total revenue. So it’s both humbling and gratifying to see that 10 years later, Owner Operators comprised 27 percent of our total revenue. Patrick Holcomb Insight Editor We want to grow, and that means Intergraph is still focused on further earning your Executive Vice President, trust. The owners’ side of our business is expanding rapidly thanks to our focus on capital Global Business Development Intergraph Process, Power & Marine project productivity and effective management of technical asset information through- out the life cycle. This issue of Insight brings you a spotlight on Owner Operators and how they are using our solutions to succeed. A strongly related focus of this issue is laser scanning technology. With the Hexagon acquisition of Intergraph in 2010, we now have a close relationship with all of the Hexagon companies, including Leica Geosystems. Our scanning solutions have always been open and interoperable across the industry, but now with our partnership with Leica, we can offer an even broader integration with Leica and expanded use of laser scanning technologies in the future. Come to Hexagon 2012 and see for yourself. I guarantee you’ll leave with a new perspective on the future of Intergraph technology. Everyone at PP&M knows Gerhard’s Rule No. 1: “Never ever let a customer down.” Customers have come to trust us, making us the market leader today. Thank you for that trust. We are here for the long haul and excited to help you in your journey. I look forward to meeting with you at Hexagon 2012 in Las Vegas and building the future together.

Leveraging the Virtual Asset

Owner operators face a number of distinct challenges. The Operations & Main- tenance group wants to minimize unplanned downtime, reduce OPEX, minimize health and safety risks, and achieve demonstrable compliance. For Commissioning, Startup & Handover, key objectives are to accelerate operational readiness and maximize virtual asset quality and completeness for O&M. Meanwhile, the Capital Projects group attempts to re- duce CAPEX and shorten project schedules. Meeting shareholders’ profitability targets can be difficult when confronted with these business needs. According to the ARC Advisory Group, “Achieving plant owner operator profitability goals requires a different model of asset life cycle management and an information manage- ment infrastructure that enables effective interoperability among all stakeholders.” Plant knowledge represents a virtual asset. Today’s owner operators are looking for ways to better leverage this virtual engineering information asset. SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators is a dedicated engineering solution for safely building, operating and maintaining plants and offshore platforms. Intergraph enables plant operators and ship and offshore platform builders to increase productivity and accelerate projects by reducing capital and operating expenses to gain a competitive edge. Read on to see how Intergraph’s solutions are helping to enable huge advances in pro- ductivity and profitability. Intergraph makes it easier for users to manage the continuously changing engineering design basis. »

Validated data may be exported to target systems and the whole process of import, validation, export and target system loading may be automated end to end. Safety A safety issue in plant maintenance is often related to poor management of change. Many risky or dangerous events can be attributed to a change in plant assets or a wrong decision based on incorrect or outdated data that can be prevented with good MOC procedures. Plant safety requires the accuracy and ready-to-use availability of plant asset data, operating manuals and procedures, because plant configurations are susceptible to change as a result of revamp projects, turnarounds or maintenance modifications. The maintenance of as-built 3D models can play an important role in plant safety.

Lock out and tag out (LOTO) is the process of isolating equip- ment so that it may be worked on in a safe manner. The process of planning isolations consumes considerable time of some of the most experienced staff on the plant and is often a process still dominated by paper-based systems and is prone to potential er- rors that can have major safety implications. The availability of integrated, intelligent schematic design tools, 3D models and information management repositories enables new solutions to be designed to assist in planning and executing isolations. This approach will result in better planning, safer execution and im- proved overview and supervision of isolations during the main- tenance of plants. The efforts of plant process safety teams in performing haz- ard and operability (HAZOP) analyses are critical elements to ensuring plant safety. The effectiveness of these teams is heav- ily dependent upon their ability to access the safety knowledge of their most experienced engineers, operations staff and safety experts. Intergraph solutions enable companies to capture their accu- mulated safety knowledge in a rules-based knowledge repository. By largely automating hazard identification, the application can cut the time and cost of HAZOP studies in half.

One possible solution is to regenerate all data by laser scan- ning the existing plant to document the existing installations, their location and current state, which is essential in the case of the new system being fieldbus-based (length of cables and num- ber of instruments on a spur). The method of laser scanning can be improved by tagging plant items, including instruments and junction boxes. This will help to lower the cost and reduce the time needed to be back to full production. The promotion of rapid input of as-built data provides a plat- form for safe, compliant startup and operations, as well as better scheduling of plant shutdowns. Accurate data, current data and a long-range view of instrument behavior enable multi-project ex- ecution and add multiple process cases for production scenarios.

Even if they do, often the management of the information and the management of the project are per- formed by different departments with different levels of integra- tion and coordination. In many cases, the plant information managed by the owner is a dump flat collection of documents and drawings carrying different naming conventions and different plant breakdown structures, all stored in different formats. Symbols used in the drawings might look the same when printed on paper, but a closer investigation will soon prove that there have been many different methods used in creating a particular symbol. Numbers of AutoCAD and MicroStation drawings are the re- sult of different EPCs and other users changing the drawings over the course of many years. Without some standard engineering and information processes in place, along with good work pro- cedures ensuring that the information is correct and according to standard, running a plant at full productivity can be a challenge. There is another issue that makes plants run a little less smoothly. Only a few owners keep the original design of the plant up to date, and even less plant owners have an accurate 3D model of the plant. In the past, it was very expensive to keep a 3D model up- dated for small projects, maintenance and operations.

The geographic area where the plant was to be built presented a daunting challenge. The site is located on a 52-meter cliff above the eastern shore of Gulf St. Vincent. The plant necessitated a unique design and construction because of the environmental protection measures enforced in the geographic zone. The plant also features a revolutionary advanced membrane ultrafiltration pre-treatment and a double-membrane design con- figuration that provide improved energy efficiency and faster- pu rification.

Making the Case for Change » Following the legal model

If you’re reading this magazine, you’re probably a change agent within your com- pany. Like me, you’ve delivered or listened to hundreds of presentations about tech- nology and business processes, each with the objective of making a group of people adopt new ways of doing business. In this article, I’d like to address the method for organizing such a presentation to achieve maximum impact. Most presentations are structured like a book. They begin with a preamble describing the presenter’s background, followed by an agenda (table of contents). This builds toward the messages that need to be delivered. By the time members of the audience arrive at the salient points, they have either glazed over or are furi- ously working on their smart phones. I’d like to propose a different model for our change presentations. I refer to this as this vital section, we achieve credibility have a much stronger case, and acceptance the “prosecution” model, in which we or- through demonstration of tools and/or will follow. ganize the information as in a court of law. data to validate that the changes can be Joe Morray is president of Trinity Tech- We begin our presentation with a set of achieved.
