Simulating superior performance
An Operator Training System (OTS) is one of the best methods to train staff in operations before a producing plant starts up. Carrying out this training before plant commissioning ensures a fast learning curve of the new process and control and instrumentation systems.
Steady State feasibility studies to evaluate a series of potential distillation sequences (n-BuOH purification)
A mixture coming out from a biotechnology reactor needed separation and purification in order to reach purities above 99% for some of the alcohols that were in the fermentation broth. Inprocess was requested to prepare the process simulations that would support the conceptual design study in order to select the most promising separation and purification sequence of unit operations
Operator Training System for new Ammonia and Hydrogen plants in a fertilizers site
An Operator Training System, directly connected with Siemens DCS, UniSim Design Dynamic Simulation; and the Inprocess Instructor Station, was developed and implemented in a new Ammonia plant (and its associated Hydrogen plant)
Dynamic Model, Process Trainer and Emulated Operator Training System for a Nitric Acid Plant
Many nitric acid plants had been designed and erected by the Client based on its own technology. In order to complement the Client’s technological offer to its own clients, it was necessary to develop a dynamic model of the plant that would be used by the Client to show the plant operability to current customers as well as showing the plant and technology capabilities to future, potential customers.
Virtual sensors bring oil and gas simulations to life
Dynamic simulation of processes using rigorous models offers a wide range of applications for process engineering, process control, instrumentation, operation, training, and health, safety and environmental projects
Operator Training System for a Valeraldehyde Plant
A training tool for the operators of a chemical plant in Sweden was developed. An interesting technical challenge was solved by integrating the rigorous dynamic model in Aspen HYSYS with an emulation software of the Experion PKS from Proconex and an instructor station from Inprocess.
Imitate to understand
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.
Dynamics break the bottleneck
Flare and relief systems commonly found in processing plants in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries are constantly under examination.
