As a common fuel, natural gas is closely related to our lives, and for the storage and transmission of this fuel, there are strict requirements for natural gas supply stations. Gas companies generally design supply stations as unattended stations, however, the safety management of supply stations is often particularly important in the process of operation and management. When an accident occurs, the early warning and response plans become an indispensable part.

Hightopo comes up with an extraordinary simulation solution for natural gas power plants, utilizing the innovative 2D/3D visualization modeling technology, digital twin 3D visualization system, to provide a set of solutions integrating display, monitoring, early warning, and pre-planning. Enabling the gas industry towards the direction of informatization, visualization, and environmental sustainability.

Modeling natural gas plants in a realistic style, the web-based feature makes our digital twin solution accessible in all modern devices, PC, Mobile, Touch Screen, etc.

The robot will travel along a special route and auto inspect each device, display detailed information or alert message.

Visualizing site layout, structure, operation status. When a facility or equipment breaks down, it will change to a red warning style, which visually reminds the operation staff to take corresponding measures.

Connect to the surveillance video source, it supports viewing real-time footage of the factory area and provides timely and effective information for operation and management.

It’s very dangerous for a natural gas power plant with a large storage capacity, therefore, it requires a comprehensive fire control system. Simulating on-site firefighting rescue plan with 3D scene & animation provides reliable and effective information for operation & management staff.

Lightweight modeling, yet BIM supported

Traditional modeling file — BIM, offers a digital representation of the real facility, including function systems (HVAC, electrical) and aesthetics (walls, roof, windows). Generally speaking, BIM files are very heavy in size, from a hundred MB to a few GB. This is almost impossible for the Web where all display content is loaded in real-time.

Hightopo's visualization uses lightweight modeling to build scene effects. The model effects are mainly presented with textures to ensure efficient loading and smooth operation on web pages. We also support import IFC format BIM files and optimize the file to reduce the size and create a 1:1 high detailed modeling visualization scene.
