Ensuring a successful FPSO start-up by phased lifecycle approach of process Digital Twins 

Confirming FPSO process design/sizing, Control Narrative and ESD design is adequate and safe for all loads, transients and trips. Providing early Operator Training and refining your Operating Procedures before the ICSS is implemented. Detecting Bad Actors and process anomalies with online process Digital Twins.

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.

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.
