Reviewing the situation
The paper describes the steps that should be taken during a flare network capacity assessment, using both a conventional approach or dynamic simulation.

The oil and gas industry has witnessed seismic downward shifts in barrel prices and uplifts in market competitiveness.
Miquel Angel Alós, explains how dynamic simulation can help maximise plant performance and deliver cost savings on new plant projects.
Miquel Angel Alós, PhD, Inprocess, explains how operations teams in the oil and gas industry can use dynamic simulation to avoid disruptions and minimise the impact of unnecessary costs on real plant operations.
In a previous project, Inprocess developed a high-fidelity dynamic simulation model, including all topside equipment with detailed design data. Taking advantage of the existing model, Inprocess carried out a Lifecycle approach for the Operator Training System (OTS) of the FPSO, comprising three phases
Inprocess delivered a Dynamic Simulation Study for a Turbo Expander/Residue Gas Compressor, for a Gas Plant Train in Middle East in order to confirm high operational safety and reliability of the system.
Safety and productivity in processing plants highly depend on the accurate performance of the control and safety systems, normally centralized in control rooms, through the distributed control systems and safety instrumented systems (DCS, SIS). In order to ensure the plant production, it is key to have staff perfectly trained in the operation of such automated systems.

An Operator Training System (OTS) is one of the best methods to train staff in operations before a producing plant starts up. Carrying out this training before plant commissioning ensures a fast learning curve of the new process and control and instrumentation systems.
Dynamic simulation of processes using rigorous models offers a wide range of applications for process engineering, process control, instrumentation, operation, training, and health, safety and environmental projects
