Use Dynamic Simulation to maximize plant operating performance
The oil and gas industry has witnessed seismic downward shifts in barrel prices and uplifts in market competitiveness.

Miquel Angel Alós, explains how dynamic simulation can help maximise plant performance and deliver cost savings on new plant projects.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
Flare and relief systems commonly found in processing plants in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries are constantly under examination.
There are different situations for which it is necessary to re-evaluate the capacity of a site\’s existing flare system.
