Verfahrenstechnik und Automatisierung GmbH (VTA), an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) provider and 100% subsidiary of BP Europa SE, has purchased Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise engineering and schematics suite and SmartPlant Foundation software and services.

VTA sought intelligent solutions for process engineering, instrumentation, electrical engineering and design, and information management, to increase its customer-related services and engineering efficiency.

In a more than six-month benchmark process, VTA became convinced that SmartPlant Enterprise solutions were superior to Intergraph’s competitors’ software. VTA valued the system configuration, the integration with other tools and systems, and the effective tracking and change management applications. The first phase will see the implementation of SmartPlant Foundation and SmartPlant P&ID, and afterward the company plans to expand its portfolio to SmartPlant Instrumentation and SmartPlant Electrical Basic.

VTA offers innovative technologies, engineering services and automation technologies, as well as comprehensive application experience in the areas of refineries, petrochemicals, chemicals and environmental.
