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.

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).

Lifecycle Modelling: Using Simulation Models from Engineering Design to Plant Operations

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.
