Challenge	Graham Hart, a UK-based supplier of engineered process systems, needed to deliver optimized designs that meet stringent performance conditions. The company's value proposition is in the supply of highly-reliable, high-performance heat exchangers. To achieve and maintain this differentiated market position, the ability of its engineering team to propose and deliver best-fit designs to meet stringent performance conditions is paramount. The engineering team needed to depend on the quality, accuracy, reliability, and predictability of the software tools used to conduct the modeling and analysis to develop and verify designs. This includes the actual layout and design of heat exchanger systems, including temperatures, configurations, and materials. Read More
About Customer	Graham Hart (Process Technology) Limited is a UK-based company known for its high level of commitment to customer service and for its excellent standards of technical expertise and product quality. The company is a privately held supplier of engineered process systems, supplying heat exchangers and high-pressure equipment to clients worldwide. Its core business is in the bespoke design and fabrication of high-integrity heat transfer systems, as well as pressure vessel systems and other packaged process systems in certain applications. The company enjoys a strong record of repeat business from its key EPC and owner-operator clients. Read More
Solution	Graham Hart has used the Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR) product suite as a core component of its heat exchanger design process since the company was founded. This dates back to Graham Hart’s selection of the original BJAC software, about 30 years ago, which was the original thermal design software product that later evolved into the Aspen Shell and Tube Exchanger Design software module. In addition to shell and tube heat exchangers (of various designs and types), Graham Hart also produces air cooled heat exchangers, which are also designed using Aspen EDR. Since the original selection of that software, Graham Hart has consistently used the Aspen EDR suite as the core thermal design tool for virtually all of the heat exchanger systems that it designs and delivers, gaining excellent results and a strong record of repeat business from its key EPC and owner-operator clients.
