Bechtel Corporation Licenses AXSYS.Process Front End Engineering Design System From Hyprotech.Business Editors and High Tech Writers CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29 2002 Hyprotech today announced that Bechtel Corporation has licensed AXSYS.Process as part of their continued effort to improve Bechtel's work processes in the development of Front End Engineering (FEED) packages. AXSYS.Process will be used in the development of Process Flow Diagrams A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major (PFDs), process case management, specification sheets and reports. Joe Keel keel 1. the ventrally directed large surface of the bird's sternum, the site of attachment of the major muscles of flight. Called also carina. 2. the prominent area over the sternum in Dachshunds. , Chief Process Engineer in Bechtel's Houston office, stated: "We have licensed AXSYS.Process because of its capabilities in loading simulation data from multiple simulators, its ease of configuration to meet varying client needs, and its flexibility in supporting our many engineering workflow requirements" Added Gerald Jacobs Gerald Jacobs is a British author and the literary editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

Continued Jacobs: "A major barrier to uptake of engineering data management software into the EPC (1) (Entertainment PC) See HTPC. (2) (Electronic Product Code) A standard code for RFID tags administered by EPCglobal Inc. (www.epcglobalinc.org). industry has been the significant time and customization that has been needed to utilize these types of technology. Working closely together, Bechtel and Hyprotech were able to deploy AXSYS on engineering projects in less than four months. This is extremely significant, as deployment of other commercial products in the past have taken years and millions of dollars in investment." The initial implementation of AXSYS.Process has been in the Houston offices of Bechtel Petroleum & Chemical. Hyprotech's AXSYS technology optimizes enterprise workflow and enables collaborative engineering and early validation of plant designs by integrating process simulation and project evaluation data in a common database repository. AXSYS has been shown to reduce the time to create a process design package by more than 50 percent, and has resulted in improved plant and process designs.

About Hyprotech Hyprotech is the leading supplier of modeling and simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. and services to the continuous and batch processing (1) Performing a particular operation automatically on a group of files all at once rather than manually opening, editing and saving one file at a time. For example, graphics software that converts a selection of images from one format to another would be a batch processing utility. industries, including air separation, chemical, gas processing, petrochemical petrochemical, any one of a large group of chemicals derived from a component of petroleum or natural gas. The cracking processes for manufacturing gasoline produce vast quantities of gaseous hydrocarbons. , pharmaceutical, refining and upstream. By providing innovative technology for the entire plant lifecycle, Hyprotech has enabled its clients to enhance profitability and improve operating performance. The company is dedicated to delivering the benefits of its signature "Process Lifecycle Innovation" approach, and has the largest installed user base of any simulation software provider, serving more than 17,000 users in over 80 countries, including the world's top 15 oil and gas companies.
