Existing Petrochem Facility KBr
Increased production of an existing fluid catalyst cracking unit
required a structural evaluation of the 47-year-old reactor
structure in Toledo, Ohio, to determine the feasibility of the
proposed expansion.
Bentley’s STAAD products were used to generate wind load
on this complex structure. Modeling was performed using the
graphical user interface. Record low execution time for this
project earned praises from the client. KBR saved 300 man-hours and $30,000 as a result of enhanced 3D graphical
views and application of wind load.

The BE Awards of Excellence program
provides an excellent opportunity to share
experiences and see the successful
application of Bentley products.
