Feasibility Studies

For nearly all kinds of power plant projects such as cogeneration, captive or utility plants in the field of conventional steam generator technology, AES have proven our performance, beginning with preparation of feasibility studies up to detailed design engineering.

The modern day power plants with sophisticated and ultra-modern boiler designs require a broad and deep expertise with decades of experience. All these features are covered by our engineers and technicians due to their academic education and employment history. Regardless of the type of boiler or fuel used, we at AES are able to solve complex requirements and tasks and offer customer-oriented and market-driven solutions.

Our approach from the fundamentals, upon clearly understanding the customers’ requirements would enable the right choice of power plant with the right boiler technology so that customers will not lose out on the Availability, Reliability and Efficiency.

Our networking strength and close business relationships with the manufacturers of other major power plant equipment like steam turbines, fuel and ash handling systems, pollution control equipment, and water treatment plant etc., help us arrive at the cost effective solutions on behalf of the customers.

Our feasibility study generally covers:

  • Technical feasibility (technologies, and processes)
  • Economic feasibility (budget, financing costs)
  • Required resources and availability (e.g. manpower, machines, areas, and time)
  • Schedule of implementation
  • Legal regulations, code requirements, compliances
  • Opportunities, risks and mitigation approaches
  • A recommendation for a decision

Site Advisory Services

It is usual that the boiler Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) does not necessarily carry out all activities from construction to commission the unit and limits his service only to the scope of design and supply when the boiler is supplied. Perhaps, different agencies are involved for mechanical erection, commissioning and testing of equipment. In such cases, each agency does not take the responsibility for the other activity, neither schedule directly or indirectly. For example, the agency that is responsible for mechanical construction would not bother about the commissioning of the mechanical equipment that is being installed and so. In those cases, the Owner or the EPC contractor would necessarily need someone to play an advisory role and ensure still the recommended procedures are followed in such a way that overall project schedule is not affected.

AES can effectively play that role by providing the required advisory services and can be a bridge between the Owner and OEM/EPC contractor ensuring the unit is thoroughly tested, documented and optimized and can provide its best performance safely and with high reliability with normal operating efforts, when it is turned over to the end user.

Commissioning and boiler operation is the last phase of the project starting with Pre-Commissioning, continuing through Cold and Hot Commissioning and ending to Performance Guarantee test and Acceptance of the unit.

PRE-COMMSSIONING

Pre-Commissioning is considered as final phase of erection and installation although the input and participation by commissioning personnel is necessary when the systems and equipment are turned over to commissioning and operation. In pre-commissioning, the equipment and systems are finalized and proven to be fit and ready for commissioning.

COLD COMMISSIONING

Cold commissioning is considered as the period from energizing the equipment to first fire of the boiler. During cold commissioning all auxiliary machinery and auxiliary systems shall be rotated and move tested without and with process fluids in the respective system.


HOT COMMISSIONING

Hot commissioning is defined as the period from the first fire of the boiler until the date of Unit Acceptance.

In this competitive world of business, organizations strive hard to deliver the impossible at an accelerated pace to the market. They resort to broaden their design capabilities, enhance their engineering environment and trying to leverage their existing assets. Of course, all this needs to be done at a reduced cost!

Reverse Engineering is the solution for all this!

Reverse Engineering is the art of processing 3D scan data using the most comprehensive software to create feature based CAD, feature based editable solid models compatible with the existing CAD software.

Instead of starting from a blank screen, you can start from data created by the real world. You can create editable, feature- based CAD models from a 3D scanner and integrate them into your existing engineering design workflow.

Organizations at times are forced to create products that are close to impossible, or required to customize parts that require a perfect fit with the human body. Or to create components that integrate perfectly with existing products. Sometimes they need to recreate a complex geometry that cannot be measured any other way. These tasks are impossible without the use of Reverse Engineering.

Many designs are inspired by another. A complicated object or model of an inspiring design can be scanned and reverse engineered into your CAD system. You can learn from it. You can reuse it. You can improve upon it. You can easily rebuild your old parts into current CAD data, create drawings and production designs. You can scan prototypes, existing parts, tooling or related objects, and create designs in a fraction of the time compared to what it would take to manually measure and create CAD models from scratch. From product idea to finished design, a lot of weeks can be saved.

Our software features are:
  • Direct 3D scanner control tools for the widest range of the most popular devices
  • Full integration with Capture Scanners
  • Supports import of over 60 file formats including polygons, point clouds and CAD
  • Expertly handles massive mesh and point cloud data alignment, processing and refining, mesh construction
  • Easy-to-use mesh repair tools deliver rapid hole filling, smoothing, optimizing, rewrapping and polishing tools such as Smart Brush.
  • Automatic, feature-based solid and surface extraction direct from 3D scans
  • Rapidly creates solids or surfaces like you would in CAD
  • Analyzer tools that compare and validate surfaces, solids and sketches against original scan data
  • Industry-leading Exact surface creation converts organic shapes to precise CAD models
  • Supports comprehensive export of neutral CAD or polygon files
  • Instantly create stunning renderings of your designs in Keyshot
