Inprocess’ experts detailed in this Oral Contribution how it is possible to save OpEx by minimizing the amount of hydrogen that is sent to the fuel network. An advisory tool, based on an optimizer put on top of a simulation model, is used by operating companies to send the correct amount of hydrogen, at the correct purity,
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.
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
Joint oral contribution to the Aspentech Users Group Meeting (Optimize2013) held in May 2013 in Boston, USA
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.
Flare and relief systems commonly found in processing plants in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries are constantly under examination.
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.
Rigorous Simulation helps engineers to understand and identify process dynamics and interactions in a riskfree environment; in addition, it also allows the evaluation and tuning of advanced controllers before they are commissioned.
