Understanding how your piping network works, using 1D multi-physics simulation.
Piping systems have a big potential for energy savings, and the right layout can be more complex then one may think.
Due to tight project schedules many EPCs use rules of thumb to do the layout, negletcing details that can be important. Moreover, oversizing attached equipment, due to exagerated risk mitigation, is very common. The same holds true for undersizing pipe diameters to save cost.
We offer piping and equipment layout using one dimensional simulation, to cover all aspects of physical phenomena in piping networks.
With our soffisticated tools we assure safety and reliability and optimize energy consumption, while finding the right trade-off between CAPEX and OPEX.
Transient analysis of abrupt pressure changes in piping systems, such as valve closures or pump trips cause pressure rises that can ultimately lead to pipe rupture.
Optimized layout of components in
complex piping networks, such as pumps, valves, basins or heat exchangers.
Heat transfer simulation and system optimization is essential to enhance heat recovery systems and avoid wasting energy.
Co-simulation of the interaction between thermo-hydraulic systems and their PID controller settings leads to optimal energy usage. Wrong setups of control systems is a mayor cause of energy waste.
