Easy compilation of tender documents for Energy applications 

KROHNE added the new sections "Energy" and the fourth purification stage at wastewater treatment plants to the "Planning Tool for generation of tender documents". The online tool, which is aimed at planning engineers and operators, thus covers not only water and wastewater systems but also the application areas of district heating, district cooling and green HVAC.

The planners of plants and systems in these areas are faced with the complex task of balancing new planning requirements and regulations with new technological developments and the opportunities they present. When it comes to process instrumentation, the planner must not only be familiar with the most important measurement technologies, but also know the advantages and disadvantages of all the measurement methods that can be used at a particular measuring point.

This is where KROHNE offers support with the planning tool: in the new Energy section, the planner can first select a process or plant section, e.g. the heat transfer station, solar thermal heating plant, geothermal heating plant, heat recovery in data centers or combined heat and power plant in the district heating section. The Planning Tool shows all the measuring points that can be equipped in the process and recommends suitable instrumentation.

For each measuring point, tender texts, data sheets, operating instructions can be quickly created and saved. Downloading the tender texts is possible as a Word, Excel or GAEB file. Device-specific downloads, datasheets, manuals and short-form descriptions can be accessed. The free of charge Planning Tool is web-based, a local installation is not required: http://planningtool.krohne.com/
