LAS VEGAS, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/-- Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refinery Company Ltd. (YASREF) has recently chosen Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise solutions to optimize the operation and maintenance of its full-conversion refinery.

YASREF initially used several solutions from the SmartPlant suite, including SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID and PDS®. YASREF later implemented the Engineering Document Management System (EDMS) based on SmartPlant Foundation to achieve complete integration. YASREF has achieved fully integrated plant design in order to provide fast, intuitive and role-based access to help manage the most accurate engineering documents.

SmartPlant Foundation has provided all required features to manage engineering documents including storage of electronic engineering documents, methods to search and download/upload documents, and full Management of Change (MOC).

Abdulhannan M. Karim, senior engineer at YASREF, said, "For YASREF, we executed the implementation of the EDMS in its best possible methodology. We divided the implementation into phases to optimize the resources, facilitate the required data at various times of pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and operations, and to achieve best quality of engineering data in a very cost-effective manner.

"YASREF EDMS has set records in the industry with regards to EDMS implementation time and data gathering, validating and auditing time thanks to the implementation of Intergraph solutions – it will be considered a role model in the general industry and within Saudi Aramco in particular. Our implantation team has not only put huge efforts in to gathering accurate data but has also worked hard to validate and audit the data prior to final handovers by EPCs. The coordination with EPCs has helped us to quickly create and maintain reliable data assets, supporting our reputation as a pioneer in Engineering Document Management."

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "The YASREF Refinery Project is a massive undertaking in the Middle East, and we could not be more pleased that it has chosen Intergraph solutions to optimize plant performance. The SmartPlant suite of products will serve YASREF and its partners well."
