Maximizing Return on Operator Training Investment: Virtualization and Web-Based Technologies 

Inprocess oral contribution to the ESTEC: Energy Simulation Technology Exhibition and Conference hold in Barcelona, from May 30th to 31st, 2018.

Determination of Dry-Ice Formation during the Depressurization of a CO2 Re-Injection System

The associated gas of an oil-producing field in off-shore Brazil is treated to remove water, hydrocarbon condensate, H2S and CO2. For environmental reasons, the CO2-rich permeate stream from the gas treatment process must be re-injected into the reservoir.

10 Best Practices to Request and Exploit Lifecycle OTS

Operator Training Simulators (OTS) have become an integral element of the Operator Competency Development Programs of the process industry. The dynamic simulation technology has evolved from the early days, incorporating new training functionalities and communication capabilities.

FPSO lifecycle modelling adds benefits to development offshore West Africa

In a recent FPSO development project offshore West Africa, a lifecycle modeling approach project, ending in a direct-connect Operator Training System with Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, was used for process design and control narrative validation, procedure verification, ICSS check-out, control room operator training and support for FPSO start-up operations.

Incorporating Process Simulation into Control Engineering

The definition of a Control System in Chemical and Petrochemical Plants requires specific know-how with the target of optimizing and improving existing systems and designing new ones. When designing a system, it is necessary to follow some basic steps such as modelling the system, analysing such model, designing the system/controller and finally
