Case Study: Engineers India Ltd achieves safer coalescer design and 15% material savings with Hexagon PV Elite

Engineers India Limited Succeeds with PV Elite® on Coalescer Design

Engineers India Ltd (EIL), a provider of engineering services for the petrochemical industry, faced a complex challenge when designing a large coalescer vessel for a client. The initial support designs were not viable due to space constraints and would have compromised the vessel's essential heating systems. With the project timeline at risk, EIL turned to Hexagon's PV Elite software to find a solution.

Using PV Elite, Hexagon's solution enabled EIL to design a novel and rare support structure using pipe legs for the 62.4 MT vessel. The software provided critical analysis for wind, seismic forces, and pressure, giving the engineers the confidence to proceed with a non-standard design. This approach not only saved an estimated 15% in material costs but also prevented significant and costly delays to the overall project schedule, ensuring the vessel met all mechanical and process requirements.
