Surge Analysis in a Crude Logistics Facility
A refinery needed to verify surge pressures in its crude unloading, transfer and storage network under abnormal operating conditions, ensuring compliance with pressure limits and industry standards.

The risk of exceeding the Maximum Allowable Temperature was identified in a new biorefinery unit. To assess the potential for material failure or loss of containment, Inprocess developed a dynamic custom model and evaluated five critical emergency scenarios to obtain a realistic process response.
An Oil&Gas facility needed to address the inefficiencies caused by frequent flaring events resulting from pressure fluctuations at the inlet separator, controlled by a flare valve.
A petrochemicals facility in a refinery needed to optimize two propane-propylene splitter columns with the objective of minimizing propylene losses at the bottom of the second column. With Inprocess, the client drafted a strategy focused on analyzing and optimizing different areas of the processing complex.
A refinery planned a major unit revamp with extensive flare system modifications based on the results from conventional hydraulic studies. Inprocess was requested to deliver a rigorous analysis of the flare network requirements during a General Power Failure (GPF) using dynamic simulation.
MOEVE Chemicals, with the aim of implementing an efficient way to prepare their operators for commissioning, start-up and operation of their new Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) plant, counted on Inprocess to develop an Operator Training Simulator using Aspen HYSYS Dynamics as the simulation platform, and Inprocess’ proprietary Iconex to create a high-fidelity replica of the DCS and the SIS.
La formación de operadores y técnicos de planta plantea un reto constante: ¿cómo proporcionar experiencia práctica y realista sin asumir riesgos operativos ni comprometer la seguridad? Descubre las funcionalidades y beneficios de nuestra plataforma ITOP para formar en entornos seguros e inmersivos.
SABIC implemented, in collaboration with Inprocess, an Aspen HYSYS®-based Operator Training Simulator (OTS) that replicates the plant control environment, allowing operators to safely train for disturbances, upsets, start-ups, and other critical operating scenarios.
How do you justify investing in operator training for rare but highimpact events in a highly complex urea plant? The goal was to develop a highfidelity OTS capable of accurately reproducing real process behavior.
Optimizing an energy-intensive distillation section (Depropanizer, Deethanizer and Propane–Propylene Splitter) critical for product quality and profitability, while improving reliability, measurement accuracy, and early detection of operational issues.
