Refinery Pre-Heat Train Monitoring and Cleaning Tool
Joint oral contribution to the Aspentech Users Group Meeting (Optimize2013) held in May 2013 in Boston, USA
Imitate to understand
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.
CDU/VDU Pre-heat Train Performance Monitoring and Cleaning Schedule Evaluation Tool
Inprocess developed a complete application to perform heat exchanger fouling monitoring for a 124000 BPD refinery CDU/VDU and, based on the predicted trends, it developed an automated tool to run different heat exchanger cleaning scenarios over one year of operation
Dynamics break the bottleneck
Flare and relief systems commonly found in processing plants in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries are constantly under examination.
Use of Simulation for Optimum Performance of Hydro-desulfurization Unit with ULSD Regulations – An Industry White Paper
The European Union 10-ppm sulfur fuel regulations present various challenges for operating and controlling refinery desulfurization units. Repsol has been using simulation to mitigate some of these challenges. In a joint project with AspenTech, the two companies developed a rigorous steady-state and dynamic Aspen HYSYS® model of Repsol’s Puertollano refinery’s hydrodesulfurization (HDS) unit.
Are there alternatives to an expensive overhaul of a bottlenecked flare system?
There are different situations for which it is necessary to re-evaluate the capacity of a site\’s existing flare system.
Dynamic Simulation Study to determine the flare load of a refinery crude unit and a coker during a General Power Failure incident

Alivio de presión en columnas de destilación de crudo
La estimación de los caudales de alivio de presión en la cabeza de las columnas de destilación resulta de cálculo complicado debido a la naturaleza de estas unidades, donde la composición cambia a lo largo de la columna y del tiempo.
