MULTIDISCIPINE ENGINEERING
Lanjigarh Alumina
Refinery Project
WorleyParsons Services Pty Ltd
Through the use of PlantSpace P&ID,
WorleyParsons was able to exceed the
client’s expectations in delivering the proj-
ect. The intelligent P&IDs developed allowed
additional information to be supplied to the
client with no additional cost or schedule
impact. Its use also provided a spark for initia-
tives from the engineering team as the bene-
fits of intelligent database manipulation and
addition of data were realized. ;
Sterlite Industries Limited is building a greenfield alumina refinery in Orissa, India, to supply alumina to its own smelters as well as for
export. Sterlite engaged WorleyParsons to
provide detailed design supervision, basic
engineering, and commissioning assistance
for the construction of this refinery. The
plant is designed to produce at a capacity
of 1.4 million tons per year in order to
supply alumina to Sterlite for domestic use and
for export.
WorleyParsons is collaborating on a very
tight schedule with Sterlite and Engineers of
India personnel who have been appointed to
undertake detailed design and construction.
The $850 million project will be completed
in two phases over a 12-month period.
NEW TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION
Main Line Block Valves on
Oil/Gas Pipeline
Giprokauchuk
Development of the oil and gas fields of the
Russian Far East, the largest oil and gas production project in Russia’s history, has
already resulted in considerable infrastructure modernization and more is envisioned,
including roads, bridges, a port, and an airport. One phase of the project involves the
construction of oil and gas onshore
pipelines, which connect offshore platforms
and gas and oil refining process facilities.
Design work that Giprokauchuk Institute is
working on includes:
• Block valve units on onshore oil and gas
pipelines
• Pig traps at gas and oil refining process
facilities
Bentley’s PlantSpace Design Series was used
in the project and API and ASME standards
were applied. New pipes, pipeline acces-
sories, valves, and drain vessels were incorpo-
rated into the database according to ASME
standards. Use of the database allowed
Giprokauchuk to increase the quality of exe-
cuted work, reduce time to completion of the
project, and decrease the number of errors.
In general, benefits being derived from the
use of Bentley technology include the ability
to produce detailed documentation that
ranges from process engineering flow
schemes to 3D models to isometric schemes
and material takeoffs. ;
