Bayer Technology Services successfully implemented advanced process technology for a new Bayer MaterialScience production site at Caojing in Shanghai, China, using Intergraph® integrated design and engineering solutions. The new process technology significantly reduces solvent and energy consumption as well as operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions.

These results are achieved, among other factors, thanks to the engineering efficiency, quality and integration provided by the Intergraph SmartPlant® Enterprise portfolio, including SmartPlant Materials, SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant Electrical and SmartPlant P&ID, among others.

"Using an established and efficient engineering technology, which has been well customised to fit our needs, was instrumental in designing and building a world-scale facility that will put into practice our most avant-garde manufacturing and process technologies," says Dr. Juergen S. Kussi, head of engineering process and plant layout and vice president, Bayer Technology Services.

"Bayer Technology Services is at the forefront of modern and environmentally advanced technologies and that can only be achieved if your engineering technologies work alongside. Therefore, Bayer Technology Services is committed to the usage of Intergraph products."
