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

Use Dynamic Simulation to maximize plant operating performance

The oil and gas industry has witnessed seismic downward shifts in barrel prices and uplifts in market competitiveness.

Dynamic simulation benefits during the plant lifecycle

Miquel Angel Alós, explains how dynamic simulation can help maximise plant performance and deliver cost savings on new plant projects.

Dynamics of the real world

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.

Entrenamiento de operadores en plantas de proceso

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.
