Sustain Operation Excellence by Upgrading OTS for FCC Unit
Joint oral contribution to Aspentech’s Users Conference Optimize 2019 held in Houston, TX (USA) in May 2020.
INGENO: Inprocess Generic Operator Training Simulators
Generic Operator Training Simulators are extremely powerful training tools for acquiring the generic knowledge required by students and plant operators to understand the way complex producing units are operated from the plant control room consoles.
Modelado de Entorno de Pruebas para el Estudio y Simulación de Monitorización de Fallas en Procesos de Tritio
Mención: Mejor póster Reunión SNE 2020. Los métodos para la monitorización de tritio previstos en ITER consisten en detener periódicamente su operación para medir de la cantidad global de tritio en planta.
Dynamic Simulation Tools for Isotopic Separation System Modelling and Design
Cryogenic distillation is a key process for tritium processing in fusion: it is necessary for isotopic separation but is prone to hold high tritium inventories.
Ensuring a successful FPSO start-up by phased lifecycle approach of process Digital Twins
Confirming FPSO process design/sizing, Control Narrative and ESD design is adequate and safe for all loads, transients and trips. Providing early Operator Training and refining your Operating Procedures before the ICSS is implemented. Detecting Bad Actors and process anomalies with online process Digital Twins.
Sustaining Operational Excellence
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.
Supporting the development of plant operators’ competence
Plan and follow-up operators’ professional development by digitizing and centralizing in a single training environment all new and old learning material.
Steam Networks Operation Assurance
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.
Real-Time Optimization opportunities in NGL recovery plants
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.
Minimum Design Metal Temperature determination using Dynamic Simulation
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).
