Improve your bottom line, evaluate changes, and enhance your process understanding
Symmetry Dynamics provides world class dynamic features and user friendliness in a unified life cycle environment, while reducing software costs and making dynamic simulation affordable to companies in the process industries.
Improve your process performance in a unified environment
The process industries are dynamic by nature, rarely operating at steady-state. Changes in feed flows and compositions, external disturbances, and changing equipment performance, continually effect the process operation.
Use Symmetry Dynamics to:
-
Simulate process operability during upsets
-
Evaluate process equipment, and control strategies
-
Develop start-up, shutdown, and operating procedures
-
Perform regulatory control system studies
-
Perform step testing off-line
-
Perform rigorous blowdown/depressuring
-
Evaluate relief loads from causes such as reflux pump failure, fire, and power failure
A Symmetry Dynamics model incorporates equipment information, a control layer, and provides a complete, offline virtual plant.
The model enables an engineer to gain process understanding and evaluate changes made that can improve performance of the process.
Benefits of Dynamic Simulation
-
Dynamic modeling of the process developed in the design phase can highlight changes in the process configuration and equipment sizes that reduce equipment capital costs
-
Industry experience has shown that the same model can reduce start-up times by as much as 70%
-
Reduce APC implementation costs by as much as 30%
-
Provides relief scenarios; a more accurate analysis of relief loads, saving millions of dollars on flare system revamps
