Process, Energy & Mining

South African companies – from mines to food and beverage manufacturers, paper producers and other process companies – are emerging from the global economic slowdown stronger than before. They are more competitive, with lower costs and enhanced profits, and better equipped to compete more aggressively in the global marketplace.

From an operational point of view, however, they are experiencing their most challenging time yet as the country grapples with insufficient power capacity, which is handicapping companies’ expansion plans. With increased capacity from Eskom some time off, companies are turning increasingly to cogeneration projects to augment power supplies and even earn revenue as an independent power supplier.

On hand to deliver new cogeneration projects quickly and efficiently are Autodesk® Plant Solutions, which offer the process and power industries intuitive design, engineering and project review applications that streamline the plant design process. More efficient delivery of new plant helps to trim capital expenditure and facilitates early commissioning, helping companies to achieve quicker return on their capital investment.
