In the pursuit of a more sustainable world, companies are innovating ways to reduce environmental impact while delivering essential services. Nippoh Engineering Co., Ltd., located in Yokohama, Japan, is at the forefront of this movement with a visionary project aimed at achieving affordable and clean energy with a steam turbine piping design. Aligned with Japan’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, they are delivering a new thermal power plant designed to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the revitalization of their region. In this blog, you will learn what Nippoh achieved utilizing Bentley software, including: 50% reduction in resource hours 10% material cost savings 20% productivity improvement 2,000-3,000 new jobs created For over 50 years, Nippoh Engineering Co., Ltd. has been designing plants that power communities in Japan and around the world. Today, they are taking that expertise further by creating cleaner, greener energy solutions. As part of their commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals—especially Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy—they’re developing next-generation plants that use innovative technologies such as ammonia and biomass co-firing, as well as methanation, to reduce environmental impact and build a more sustainable future. Their basic design concept is ambitious: ensuring allowable stress ratios

Too often, pressure vessel design involves tedious, slow manual work. As technology evolves and demands continue to rise, the old methods can’t keep up. That’s why we’re continuing to advance AutoPIPE Vessel to keep you ahead of the curve. In this blog, we’ll dig into three new features that will transform your engineering: Nozzle Input Interface enhancements Component Thickness Comparison Table and Advanced Analysis Settings Appendix Y Flange Design enhancements Our newest release, AutoPIPE Vessel 2025, brings powerful enhancements that will streamline your workflows, empower your designers, and expand your design capabilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOLjbhuX-1w Nozzle input interface enhancements Working with multiple nozzles at the same time can be a pain—making individual or batch changes often requires making tedious edits to each nozzle in separate windows. With AutoPIPE Vessel 2025’s enhanced nozzle input interface, you can quickly design and adjust numerous nozzles at once in a single, intuitive interface, saving you time and money. New component thickness comparison table and advanced analysis settings Vessels must be strong enough to function safely, but ensuring components are sturdy enough can require repeated flipping between design and the listed thickness requirement. Now, you can use AutoPIPE’s Vessel’s new thickness verification table to simultaneously view the
