The risk of exceeding the Maximum Allowable Temperature was identified in a new biorefinery unit. To assess the potential for material failure or loss of containment, Inprocess developed a dynamic custom model and evaluated five critical emergency scenarios to obtain a realistic process response.
An Oil&Gas facility needed to address the inefficiencies caused by frequent flaring events resulting from pressure fluctuations at the inlet separator, controlled by a flare valve.
A petrochemicals facility in a refinery needed to optimize two propane-propylene splitter columns with the objective of minimizing propylene losses at the bottom of the second column. With Inprocess, the client drafted a strategy focused on analyzing and optimizing different areas of the processing complex.
A refinery planned a major unit revamp with extensive flare system modifications based on the results from conventional hydraulic studies. Inprocess was requested to deliver a rigorous analysis of the flare network requirements during a General Power Failure (GPF) using dynamic simulation.
La formación de operadores y técnicos de planta plantea un reto constante: ¿cómo proporcionar experiencia práctica y realista sin asumir riesgos operativos ni comprometer la seguridad? Descubre las funcionalidades y beneficios de nuestra plataforma ITOP para formar en entornos seguros e inmersivos.
Hydrogen plays a critical role in refinery and petrochemical operations, directly impacting process performance, operating costs and plant flexibility. However, managing hydrogen networks efficiently across complex industrial facilities remains a significant operational challenge.
This presentation shows how dynamic modelling has played a crucial role in supporting the safe expansion of a North American oil and gas facility. These models, continuously updated and refined through four major plant upgrades, helped simulate emergency scenarios, assess flare system performance, and integrate both unit and network responses.
In this presentation, learn how CHS and Inprocess have developed and implemented a digital tool to monitor the performance of heat exchangers and support maintenance planning. Using Aspen EDR in Aspen HYSYS, fouling trends were analyzed to identify units exchangers with the greatest impact on process efficiency and cost. Integrated online with real-time plant data, the monitoring tool flags when equipment performance drops below defined thresholds, enabling dynamic updates to cleaning strategies and supporting data-driven decisions that can increase throughput and reduce downtime, energy consumption, and emissions.
Discover how Twelve, a company producing low-carbon jet fuel from CO₂ and renewable electricity, partnered with Inprocess to develop a comprehensive dynamic simulation and Operator Training Simulator (OTS) based on Aspen HYSYS® Dynamics, supporting the commissioning and operational readiness of this pioneering facility.
