Koch-Glitsch signs exclusive sales agreement with SimSci-Esscor: the companies are to market simulation tools for rate-based and batch distillation processes in refining and chemical plants
The multi-million dollar contract marks the first Bechtel implementation of the Comos FEED platform, which SimSci-Esscor launched in July 2004.
Under terms of the agreement, Bechtel will renew its existing software contract for an extended term and will license the rights to additional software solutions.
The new agreement, which augments a long-term collaborative relationship between the two companies, provides Bechtel with additional flexibility and added efficiency as it can use a comprehensive variety of SimSci-Esscor solutions to meet its engineering needs.

"The addition of Comos FEED to the SimSci-Esscor full suite of products enables Bechtel to significantly increase engineering productivity and benefit from the use of simulation technology," said Alastair Fraser, vice president of SimSci-Esscor simulation business line.
"The new agreement enables Bechtel engineers to select, in real-time, the products that provide the most value for the project that they are completing.
Bechtel now has a considerable variety of SimSci-Esscor software that can be used immediately as needed and exchanged at any time for a different solution".
In addition to the Comos FEED platform, Bechtel will have access to SimSci-Esscor Dynsim dynamic simulator and Pipephase oil and gas production network simulator.
Bechtel plans to continue to use all products in the SimSci-Esscor Process Engineering Suite, software solutions that improve engineering productivity and increase plant profitability through process engineering design and operational analysis.
"Our objective with this contract is to optimise the value received from the capital that the company has previously invested in Invensys products," said Joe Keel, chief of process engineering at Bechtel.
"We want to promote the value and utility of other products and services in the Invensys portfolio across the organisation.
The Comos FEED solution is a clear example of this increased usage for Bechtel".
The Comos FEED platform is the result of a joint alliance between SimSci-Esscor and Innotec GmbH, a software development firm specialising in process-oriented plant construction, operation and maintenance.
The platform enables data, document and knowledge management as well as integration of process-engineering activities by interfacing with commonly used process-engineering applications.
The seamless integration with SimSci-Esscor PRO/II process simulation software, allows import of simulation data during scope and conceptual development as well as throughout the preliminary engineering phases of a project.
The system provides multi-discipline engineers with a concurrent, distributed and collaborative environment in which to manipulate or augment simulation data.
It also manages non-simulation data for defining process flow and equipment specifications.
