Michael SkolskiProcess Eng. LeadPrimary UpgradingCNRL Horizon
“We have been working with the Inprocess team for over 13 years now. During this time, several dynamic simulation relief studies have been completed to evaluate the limitations in our relief system as the operating facility has grown. With the use of dynamic simulation and data matching plant behavior, we have been successful in implementing mitigations to address unit limitations as an alternative to major debottlenecking of the flare system. The knowledge and expertise of the Inprocess team has been outstanding. We look forward to continuing with the next phase of our project and would like to congratulate the entire Inprocess team on their 20th Anniversary!”

“Many congratulations for your 20th anniversary, guys at Inprocess! We started collaborating in 2012 when I learned from you how to model refinery columns in dynamics in an effective way, expanding later our relationship to several PSV revalidation projects… I have been always amazed by the professionalism of your engineers, no matter which one, always trying to satisfy customer needs, even if those go beyond what initially planned. I know it is not only we at Castellón that are satisfied, but other bp refineries in Europe are also satisfied with your process simulation skills and your willingness to share and transfer your knowledge. Keep on going like this for another 20 years!!!”
Along its history, Inprocess has been very active in one of its foundational pillars: Knowledge Transfer and Dissemination. This is why we have been publishing articles in technical magazines, and we have been participating in congresses and events. All the contributions we have prepared with that purpose are available for download in the Knowledge Hub section of our corporate website. Looking backwards, is however interesting to realize that some of these contributions have been more impactful and successful (according to the number of accesses and downloads) than others.This the podium of the 5 more successful technical articles and the 5 more impactful contributions to congresses for you to enjoy:

A future driven by simulation and digitalization
Simulation and Digitalization: From Models to Real Operational Impact
Digitalization in the hydrocarbons sector is evolving from a purely technological approach to a clearly operational one. In this context, process simulation is becoming the backbone that connects engineering, operations, and decision-making.
Beyond the concept of the digital twin, the real value lies in the ability to build rigorous, validated models aligned with plant reality—models that not only allow scenario analysis but also enable safer, more efficient, and more confident operations. Simulation is no longer a one-off exercise; it becomes a continuous tool throughout the entire asset lifecycle.
In this new paradigm, success depends not just on technology, but on how it is applied. Combining process and operational expertise turns models into actionable decisions, making knowledge transfer essential to enable teams to anticipate and optimize performance.
As facilities grow more complex and efficiency and emissions targets tighten, operators must be ready from day one. Operator Training Simulators (OTS) have become a standard, helping replicate critical scenarios, reduce startup risks, and improve response to unexpected events.
The integration of simulation with real-time data is enabling dynamic, plant-connected models that evolve with operations and deliver continuous value. The real challenge, however, is implementation: making simulation a daily operational tool rather than an isolated resource.
At Inprocess, we see simulation as a driver of real impact—safer startups, better-prepared operators, and more informed decisions. Our approach combines model development, training, and operational support to ensure knowledge reaches those who run the plant.
Ultimately, digitalization is not just about technology, but about how it translates into better decisions, increased safety, and more efficient and sustainable operations. It is about empowering people with the right tools and knowledge to understand their processes, anticipate challenges, and act with confidence in increasingly complex environments.
