ProSimulator CUSTOM MODELS
Sim Infosystems offers to build high fidelity custom simulation models for process plants in refinery / gas plant / fertilizer / petrochemical / chemical / power industries.
The simulated models will:
  • Replicate the real plant operation continuously in real time.
  • Simulate all normal operations including hot or cold start-up and complete or partial shutdown operations.
  • Simulate normal, abnormal and emergency operating conditions.
  • Simulate transient responses caused by changes in various operating conditions.
  • Maintain realistic, real-time performance during & after injection of malfunctions.
  • Simulate alarms and trip systems as in the real plant
  • Simulate all field devices like block valves, pump switches, etc.
  • Replicate the actual plant graphics closely
With these dynamic simulation models, the operating personnel can develop expertise in the concepts and principles of the following:
  • Understanding the unit process dynamics
  • Start-up and Shutdown
  • Emergency handling
  • Process Interlocks and logics
  • Recognize and Respond to upsets
Sim Infosystems engineers have extensive experience in developing custom simulation models for the most complex technology and processing units. These custom models include the following:
  • Failure of all rotating equipments (pumps, fans, blowers, compressors) and utilities (power, cooling water, steam, instrument air) are incorporated as Malfunction.
  • Fouling of all heat exchangers will be provided as process disturbance.
  • Failure of all instruments (control valves & transmitters) is provided as part of the Instrument malfunction.
  • The custom models will have two initial conditions:
    • Design Start
    • Cold Start.
  • Any field operated or non-DCS operated devices such as pump start / stop switches, block valves, by-pass valves, local valves, and pilot burners which are essential to perform the simulated operations during start-up, shutdown, malfunctions or normal operations, will be provided as remote functions operable at a field operator station screen.
