Simulating superior performance

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.

Virtual sensors bring oil and gas simulations to life

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

Use of Simulation for Optimum Performance of Hydro-desulfurization Unit with ULSD Regulations – An Industry White Paper

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.

Alivio de presión en columnas de destilación de crudo

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.
