Softline took part in the organization of design of the plant for production of microbic protein from natural gas

2020: Implementation of AutoCAD Plant 3D

On September 23, 2020 it became known that the Softline company together with GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC participated in the organization of design of plants for production of microbic protein from natural gas.

As it was explained, the received biomass is applied as the feed additive used in a diet of an aquaculture and farm animals and also as raw materials for the subsequent deep processing for the purpose of receiving food ingredients. Attempts to adjust large-capacity product output were made in the 80-90th years of the 20th century by scientists from the USSR, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Great Britain. But the ideas and developments were not implemented up to the end. In 2020 specialists of GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC prepare the project documentation for construction near Volgograd of the plant of receiving microbic protein. For work they needed the universal software as which the software package of end-to-end design AutoCAD Plant 3D was selected, provided by Softline company. In addition to delivery of a product, experts of Softline acted as consultants for a broad spectrum of the technical issues connected with use of AutoCAD Plant 3D. Thanks to this GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC in a short time developed the project documentation which already passed state examination.

The microbic biomass received from natural gas – a product which will allow to provide independence of the Russian agrarian and industrial complex of import proteinaceous ingredients and also to win the market of protein additives. The production technology of such protein was actively developed in the USSR from the middle of the 1960th years, but closely domestic scientists could approach its serial release only in the late eighties last century. In parallel similar researches were conducted in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Great Britain. After series of unsuccessful attempts all works in the West were suspended. Because of the crisis which struck economy in the 1990s it was not succeeded to bring into operation already created industrial complex and in Russia.

The GIPROBIOSINTEZ company managed to save technology. In vitro her specialists continue to study not only properties of microbic protein, but also methods of its receiving commercially.

In design process specialists of GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC had to build effective interaction between divisions of the organization and quickly eliminate technical errors in documents that is possible during the work in a unified environment of design. For its creation experts of the company began to study the most different offers. Products of higher price category needed difficult implementation and special attention from technical support service. Specialists who were going to work with these software packages needed to undergo long and expensive training. In turn, solutions of a low price category had no strong vertical integration. The compatibility with the DWG format also raised many questions.

As a result experts of GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC came to a consensus about need of use of the software of AutoCAD Plant 3D. The AutoCAD platform is its cornerstone. The program helps specialists who are engaged in design of plants, to implement projects of any complexity.

For the organization of delivery of the 3D AutoCAD Plant complex and also intensive training of the specialists who were going to work with it GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC asked for the help in Softline.

For needs of GIPROBIOSINTEZ LLC specialists of Softline in the shortest possible time executed delivery of the product AutoCAD Plant 3D. Moreover, they acted as IT consultants for a broad spectrum of the technical issues connected with features of work in the program and within a week provided training of designers.

Starting design of the plant, we studied functional features of a large number of the software products intended for design of industrial facilities. Having selected finally the 3D AutoCAD Plant complex, we began to look for suppliers of this solution. Emphasis was placed on those companies which could advise us on all nuances of work in AutoCAD Plant 3D. The most optimal offer to us arrived from Softline. Experts of the company in detail acquainted us with the program. The specialist of Softline training center within a week trained our employees for professional design in AutoCAD Plant 3D. Enjoying support of Softline we completed project works just in time and approvals in supervisory authorities went through all stages. Further we will actively participate in design of similar installations, their building and carrying out commissioning.
