For more than a decade, refinery panel operators at Preemraff have been coached on safety and operation excellence by hands-on training with an operator training simulator (OTS). The fluidised catalytic cracker (FCC) at the Lysekil Refinery was the first refinery unit for which an OTS was built.
Plan and follow-up operators’ professional development by digitizing and centralizing in a single training environment all new and old learning material.
The steam network is responsible to provide heat and power to the different units of the complex. Usually, all the efforts are focused on maintaining steam production and improving it to the maximum, leaving aside the important role that the network plays in keeping the overall plant production.
Inprocess has helped this oil company to identify potential savings between $1 and $3 million per NGL train and year in one of its recovery plants, by applying optimization techniques, on top of an existing Advanced Process Control algorithm, in a three-phases project: Feasibility study, open loop adisory tool, closed-loop online optimizer. Discover how by downloading the attached document.
A considerable amount of equipment and piping in Oil & Gas processing plants is exposed to very low or even cryogenic temperatures during some transient events such as emergency blowdowns, depressurization after prolonged shutdowns or start-ups. Material must be selected within proper temperature ranges according to the Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT).
Plant operators need deep training before the greenfield plant is started-up. Moreover, companies need to diminish potential operational problems related to the equipment sizing, control logic and safety systems by performing early analysis during the engineering design phases.
Gas turbine power plants have to achieve high reliability and maximum availability in order to be able to meet the dispatch requirements of electric grids at short notice. The power generation systems are high-availability assets, generally above 90%.
Dynamic Blow Down Study to investigate the adequacy of an existing flare system and to analyse different blow-down options. The scope of the integrated dynamic process simulation model includes a number of process unit sections as well as the flare header.
Inprocess oral contribution to Honeywell’s EMEA Users Conference held in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), in October 2019.
Inprocess, in collaboration with Delta Controls, developed an Operator Training Simulator for a Gas Utilization Plant (GUP) in Basrah, that was using Siemens’ PCS7 as distributed control system.
