Operator Training System for two new chemical plants with a total of 3000 I/O points, based on dynamic simulation model, DeltaV control system & SIS emulation, and using Inprocess’s proprietary Instructor Station (IIS)
Over the past 10 years the use of dynamic process simulation has been established as a reliable and effective tool to analyse transient behaviour of process systems.
Blow down studies of the CO2 compression system of a FPSO to determine the temperature profile and phase behaviour during depressurization of the “at risk” sections in order to determine if there was a real possibility of forming dry ice during compressor blow down
Inprocess developed a complete application to perform heat exchanger fouling monitoring for a 124000 BPD refinery CDU/VDU and, based on the predicted trends, it developed an automated tool to run different heat exchanger cleaning scenarios over one year of operation
Flare and relief systems commonly found in processing plants in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries are constantly under examination.
Operator Training System based on a dynamic model of the processing facilities of an oil and gas field in Bolivia, linked to DeltaV DCS and SIS. Total I/O point was 1600.
The European Union 10-ppm sulfur fuel regulations present various challenges for operating and controlling refinery desulfurization units. Repsol has been using simulation to mitigate some of these challenges. In a joint project with AspenTech, the two companies developed a rigorous steady-state and dynamic Aspen HYSYS® model of Repsol’s Puertollano refinery’s hydrodesulfurization (HDS) unit.
There are different situations for which it is necessary to re-evaluate the capacity of a site\’s existing flare system.
