Dynamics break the bottleneck
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.
There are different situations for which it is necessary to re-evaluate the capacity of a site\’s existing flare system.
La estimación de los caudales de alivio de presión en la cabeza de las columnas de destilación resulta de cálculo complicado debido a la naturaleza de estas unidades, donde la composición cambia a lo largo de la columna y del tiempo.
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.
