Industrial complexes - Import export

Thanks to its own sugar know-how, DSEC specialized in sugar plants EPC construction. The company acquired its expertise through the realization of many projects, ranging from audits of existing installations up to the turnkey construction of new industrial complexes. As for its other activities, DSEC is able to execute sugar related projects under the form of full EPC contracts, being familiar with all aspects of the project's implementation. DSEC not only masters specific sugar techniques and technologies but also all related process auxiliaries, civil works, steel structures, installation works, start-up and commissioning activities, including training of the client's personnel. DSEC’s project design and construction management gives paramount importance to the respect of health and safety and environment norms as well as to technical efficiency and ease of operation. The monitoring of project cost, time schedule and performances is the essence of any EPCM or EPC commitment. DSEC has developed proprietary technological and thermodynamic programs that very accurately simulate the operation of plants, from overall Heat & Mass Balances down to unitary process operations. In terms of drawings, DSEC uses a powerful 3D drawing and construction management tool (SmartPlan®) that dramatically improves material purchasing activity and site installation efficiency through a high level of prefabrication works. The importance of cogeneration and energy saving concepts has deeply changed the design of sugar plants construction and refineries over the last thirty years. DSEC is particularly proud of the results obtained in plants that have been built or upgraded in accordance with its studies and recommendations. DSEC’s independence from equipment suppliers and technology providers allows selecting the best possible technical solutions with a view of optimizing performances, energy recovery, maintenance and cost to the benefit of any project. In addition to state-of-the-art projects, DSEC’s engineering skills combined with agro process know-how have been selected by major players for developing large scale industrial units from laboratory developments and pilot plants. The projected increase in world sugar demand of 100 million tons over the next 15 years makes De Smet Engineers & Contractor’s knowhow in sugar plants EPC construction extremely valuable for the market.

Actran Student Edition Enhance your acoustic learning and education programs Actran Student Edition offers students and educators computational acoustic simulation capabilities comparable to those used in various industrial sectors in an accessible format ideal for teaching and home study/self-learning purposes. Actran Student Edition and its supporting materials include both a theoretical background on key acoustic phenomena and a step-by-step description of the modeling process. This description begins at setup of the numerical mode and continues through running the simulation to interpreting the results. Another key part of the tutorials is to show the link between simple Actran models and the real industrial applications based on the same simulation principles. This highlights the value of acoustic simulation in today’s complex industrial environments. Get started today! Download the free Actran Student Edition and tutorials here! Stay tuned!
