Ensuring a successful FPSO start-up by phased lifecycle approach of process Digital Twins 

Confirming FPSO process design/sizing, Control Narrative and ESD design is adequate and safe for all loads, transients and trips. Providing early Operator Training and refining your Operating Procedures before the ICSS is implemented. Detecting Bad Actors and process anomalies with online process Digital Twins.

Sustaining Operational Excellence

For more than a decade, refinery panel operators at Preemraff have been coached on safety and operation excellence by hands-on training with an operator training simulator (OTS). The fluidised catalytic cracker (FCC) at the Lysekil Refinery was the first refinery unit for which an OTS was built.

Real-Time Optimization opportunities in NGL recovery plants

Inprocess has helped this oil company to identify potential savings between $1 and $3 million per NGL train and year in one of its recovery plants, by applying optimization techniques, on top of an existing Advanced Process Control algorithm, in a three-phases project: Feasibility study, open loop adisory tool, closed-loop online optimizer. Discover how by downloading the attached document.

Minimum Design Metal Temperature determination using Dynamic Simulation

A considerable amount of equipment and piping in Oil & Gas processing plants is exposed to very low or even cryogenic temperatures during some transient events such as emergency blowdowns, depressurization after prolonged shutdowns or start-ups. Material must be selected within proper temperature ranges according to the Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT).

Lifecycle Modelling: Using Simulation Models from Engineering Design to Plant Operations

Plant operators need deep training before the greenfield plant is started-up. Moreover, companies need to diminish potential operational problems related to the equipment sizing, control logic and safety systems by performing early analysis during the engineering design phases.
