Miquel Angel Alós, PhD, Inprocess, explains how operations teams in the oil and gas industry can use dynamic simulation to avoid disruptions and minimise the impact of unnecessary costs on real plant operations.
Joint oral contribution to the 16th AIChE Spring Meeting, in Houston (TX, USA) in May 2016
The Client had an OTS installed for the FCC unit and was interested in extending the OTS capability to two additional units: ICR and HPU units.
In a previous project, Inprocess developed a high-fidelity dynamic simulation model, including all topside equipment with detailed design data. Taking advantage of the existing model, Inprocess carried out a Lifecycle approach for the Operator Training System (OTS) of the FPSO, comprising three phases
The Phase I of the study was performed by Inprocess in order to determine the maximum possible operating capacity limits, by considering the safety limitation factors, when increasing well production.
Inprocess delivered a Dynamic Simulation Study for a Turbo Expander/Residue Gas Compressor, for a Gas Plant Train in Middle East in order to confirm high operational safety and reliability of the system.
Safety and productivity in processing plants highly depend on the accurate performance of the control and safety systems, normally centralized in control rooms, through the distributed control systems and safety instrumented systems (DCS, SIS). In order to ensure the plant production, it is key to have staff perfectly trained in the operation of such automated systems.
