CERTIFIED QUALITY

The EPC Celle GmbH, as an independent engineering office, has the claim to be a competent and flexible company which enjoys a high reputation with the customers. In addition to the requirements of the customer, our work focusses on environmental compatibility as well as the implementation and optimisation of the state-of-the-art technology.

Ensuring these values, in addition to technical expertise, requires the internalisation and implementation of above-average quality standards and compliance with strict safety requirements.

We have a quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 as well as the certificate for planners of the DVGW – German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water.

By consistently implementing the system we have created, we maintain customer satisfaction and trust in our services at a high level.

In order to ensure the safety of the personnel employed by us, considering the health aspects of services provisions and to observe environmental protection in all activities, a HSE management system has also been introduced. The SCC** certificate also entitles us to manage contractors in accordance with the aforementioned obligations in the project.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

When planning and constructing process engineering plants, in addition to taking into account the state-of-the-art technology, a wide range of legal requirements and regulations must be observed. In addition to national requirements, an increasing number of European and international rules and regulations are being applied.

During our planning activities, we do not only take into account the requirements of the authorities and public authorities, but also develop technical solutions that minimize the relevance of legal regulations.

Due to the complex project structures, however, permits are always required, mainly according to the Federal Emission Protection Act (BImSchG) with its ordinances (BImSchV) and technical instructions (TA Luft , TA Lärm), water law (WHG, AwSV) as well as construction and operating permits.

For the often extensive and numerous approval processes, we are available to our customers during the planning phase and provide support in plant classification and the selection of the required processes. In addition to preparing the approval documents, we coordinate the preparation of preliminary tests, expert opinions, and necessary investigations.

CONSTRUCTION

Our design work is always carried out in 3D and with established software products:
– Autodesk Plant Design Suite©
– Autodesk AutoCAD© including CADISON database attachment©
– Microstation Bentley©
With the Autodesk Plant Design Suite software package, we use an integrated solution with control and verification mechanisms for all modules used. Steel construction and piping designs can be optimized by means of clash detection. Between 3D and P&ID flowcharts, a permanent consistency check prevents different revision levels and statuses. Databases that are easy to create and operate facilitate the creation of pipe classes and standardized components such as apparatus and equipment.
The finished 3D model can be visualized almost photo-realistically, virtual walks through the plant can be carried out using 3D reviews with the customers and rendered presentations can also be generated for project presentations.

SOFTWARE TOOLS

We have the latest software solutions for process simulation and process engineering design of apparatuses. In addition to internationally recognized solutions, we also use our own programs.

We create our designs with 3D planning tools on the basis of various software platforms, our piping and strength calculation programs are officially recognized by the Notified Bodies.

MECHANICS

Mechanical components such as pipelines, apparatus and vessels are specifically adapted by us to the field of application and calculated for internal strength for the required operating conditions. In order to guarantee acceptance by the Notified Bodies at any time, we use TÜV Nord AG own calculation program DIMy©, a dimensioning software for pressure equipment with an integrated material database.

Complex pipeline constructions are checked with the CAE system ROHR2 for static and dynamic analysis. With this software for structural analysis piping systems and connected apparatuses can be examined for excessive stresses. Via the corresponding software interfaces the 3D models created in the design department can be directly imported into ROHR2 and analysed. This calculation program is also accepted by the Notified Bodies as standard for stress calculation.

PROCESS ENGINEERING

We work with the Engineering Suite from AspenTech©, which covers our expertise in process simulation. With the help of this comprehensive software package, we are able to model, simulate and design a wide range of process engineering plants from various branches of industry.

With the energy optimization tool Aspen Energy Analyzer© we can perform pinch analyses and create an optimized heat utilization concept for each process plant.

In addition to the proven programs for process simulation with HYSYS© and the design of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, we supplement our process engineering with the design of

apparatuses such as

– Air coolers & plate heat exchangers

– Precipitators and separators

– Fixed bed reactors for adsorptive processes

With Aspen Plus©, the extensive substance database and various calculation models, we can simulate further chemical and thermodynamic processes:

– Physical & chemical scrubbers

– Chemical reactors (stirred reactors, tube reactors)

– Combustion calculations (flares, combustion chambers, gas turbines, engines)

– air conditioning, refrigeration systems

With HYSYS Dynamics© complete process engineering plants with control of different process parameters can be dynamically simulated under discontinuous entry conditions.
