Advanced pressure-flow solver for liquid, gas and multiphase networks, with process simulation and surge analysis on the same model. Size and rate every pipe, pump, valve and compressor, find the bottleneck, and run the plant at its best point.
One model of the network, from the first sizing to the plant in operation.
Size the lines, the pumps, the control valves and the compressors from the duty, against your own criteria.
Put the equipment you have in the network and see where it works: duty points, NPSH, openings, velocities.
Run every case in the Scenario Manager, find the bottleneck, and set pumps, valves and compressors at their best point.
Issue the heat and material balance, the line list, the datasheets and the calculation report.
Draw the network once, then choose the mode the question needs.
Steady-state hydraulics
Surge and water hammer
Process simulation in the network
Wells, CPF, gas processing, export, offsites, utilities and fire water: every area of the facility, in the mode it needs.
Hydraulics and the process simulation in one model: the heat and material balance and the line sizing together.
Every case of the study, with the line list, the equipment list, the datasheets and the reports ready to issue.
Check the plant as it runs, test a change before it is made, find the bottleneck and the debottleneck.
Ring mains, deluge and spray to NFPA methods, fire pump selection, and the priming time in the Transient mode.
Pumps, compressors, valves and skids rated in the client's network, with the datasheet to quote from.
Wells to the CPF, gas lift, compressor stations, export and rundown lines, emergency shutdown valve closures.
Liquefaction trains and their utilities, dew point control, glycol and acid gas units, boil-off gas and rundown lines.
Cooling water, steam and condensate, nitrogen and plant air, fuel gas, control valves and pump selection.
Transfer mains, export lines, pump stations and surge protection, sea water and city water networks.
Ring mains, deluge, spray systems on tanks and fire pump start-up, following NFPA calculation methods.
Scenario studies, line lists, datasheets and reports ready to issue.
Inlet facilities to fractionation, with the propane refrigeration and the cooling water: 105 elements, the hydraulics and the phase equilibrium solved together in about a minute. 300 t/h of feed in, 148 t/h of LNG out at −160 °C, and the mass balance closed to the kilogram.
Ninety seconds: the surge, the vacuum at the summit, and the two ways Flowmax shows to stop them. Then learn the program in three short tutorials, one for each mode.
Fewer outsourced studies, faster design decisions, and pumps, compressors and pipelines running at their best point. Request a free trial with the examples and the training manuals.
