Intergraph Corp. (Huntsville, Ala.; www.intergraph.com) Process, Power & Marine has acquired OhmTech A/S (Stavanger, Norway), a provider of pressure-vessel design software for more than 30 years. OhmTech’s technical and development staff in Norway have joined Intergraph as part of the acquisition.
The acquisition of OhmTech and its Visual Vessel Design software represents a pressure-vessel market-share expansion into Europe for Intergraph, as well as the addition of multi-language support for important European design and construction codes and standards. Visual Vessel Design is a graphical Microsoft Windows program for the calculation and design of pressure vessels, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and boilers to different international and local design codes. The software is used by vessel fabricators, petroleum refiners, oil and engineering companies, process companies and a number of independent consultants.
Visual Vessel Design complements the capabilities and global acceptance of Intergraph PV Elite, the company’s complete solution for vessel and heat exchanger design, analysis and evaluation that has experienced year-on-year growth since 2010.
Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, “This acquisition ensures the continued adoption and development of OhmTech technology within the Intergraph family of solutions, so we are excited about the many opportunities it brings. We are especially pleased to announce that OhmTech’s technical and development staff will bring their experience and talents to Intergraph to support the continued development of advanced integrated plant design and engineering analysis solutions for our global markets.”
