Chemical Plant Design Company

The initial goal is to provide all engineering activities for the reconstruction and development of the Hungarian chemical industry.

VEGYTERV developed together with the Hungarian chemical industry. Dr. György Somló (former director) divided the development into four stages:

In the first phase (1950-1955), the restoration phase, plans were drawn up to restore the damage caused by the war in existing plants.

Characteristics of the second stage (1956-1962):

– They realized that the raw material for big chemistry was no longer coal, but hydrocarbons.

– It has become obvious that one of the fundamental tasks of the chemical industry is the chemicalization of agriculture.

– The intellectual preparedness of the pharmaceutical industry enables its production for export.

– The combine was also developed as a factory construction concept in our country at this time, as a source of concentrated development of the chemical industry.

The company's Miskolc branch was founded in 1965 primarily to carry out design tasks in Borsod.

The third stage (1962-1970) was characterized by the import of modern technologies and equipment from abroad. They learned about the world's chemical industry and recognized its main development directions. The Hungarian chemical industry developed rapidly during this time.

The headquarters moved from Szamuely Street to the modern office building on Queen Erzsébet Street.

The fourth stage (1970-1980) was initially characterized by the spread of the scientific and technological revolution in Hungary. Practical cooperation with advanced industrial countries became systematic, which made it possible to import modern technologies.

They moved to Polgár Street in the summer of 1995. In June 1996, simplified privatization took place with 100% ownership by the management and specialized construction companies.

VEGYTERV developed together with the Hungarian chemical industry and with its participation and based on its designs, more than a thousand plants were established, mostly in Hungary, but also in many other countries. At one time, the design work for the GDR accounted for 7-8% of its annual revenue. Their significant task was the work done in Tengiz in the Soviet Union. During the development of VEGYTERV, it was the source for the establishment of two other chemical design companies. In 1958, the Design Department of the Tisza Chemical Plant, and in 1962, OLAJTERV. VEGYTERV established relationships with many companies in developed countries, so it was able to use the experiences there to shape domestic chemical developments and the processes within the factory to world standards.

In terms of computer technologyThe GIER machine was primarily used to process technical calculations, while the IBM machine was used to develop and test the unified corporate management system, VIR, designed for the chemical industry.

Despite the company's difficulties, they strived to support the design with a modern computer background, using both self-developed and purchased software. Some examples:

• PROCHEM C is the P+I for the preparation of layout and piping plans, isometrics, and material summaries.
• TRIFLEX is a force analysis and stress analysis of pipeline systems.
• Self-developed software for performing strength calculations of devices according to various specifications.
• Static calculation of AXIS structures.
• UNICAD-STEELFAB drawing of steel structures.
• UNICAD- REINFORCEMENT preparation of reinforced concrete drawings.
• AUTOCAD general drawing program

The application of computer technology has been introduced in a very important industry.
