The Dynamics course is a fast-paced, hands-on course where attendees receive in-depth instruction in dynamic model building and application of dynamic simulation in Symmetry. This course will provide attendees with a fundamental understanding of dynamic simulation and key differences from typical steady-state analysis. You will also learn the best workflow for converting steady-state models into dynamics, as well as building dynamic models from scratch including distillation columns, control strategies, and blowdown studies.
Understanding the dynamic simulation solution method
Best practice specifications, guidelines and rules
Unit operations – Dynamic models for commonly used unit operations, i.e., exchangers, compressors, pipes, pumps, separators, turbo-expanders, etc.
Depressuring studies including fire cases
Valves – Dynamic models for control valves and relief valves, including actuator dynamics, two phase relief and choked flow
Hydraulic Modeling in Symmetry Dynamics
Pipeline/gathering network pigging/slugging
Compressor Train modeling
Controller functionality, general discussion on tuning
Distillation column dynamics, configuring columns and controls
Transitioning models from Steady state to Dynamics, initializing models
Dynamic flare network modeling for relief/blowdown scenarios
Dynamic plant models (eg. cryogenic gas plants, amine & glycol units, sulfur recovery units) allowing control system analysis, operational studies, virtual plant startups, plant shutdowns, malfunctions, scenarios, etc.

Led by our senior upstream consultants, this course will take a deep-dive into Symmetry's ability to evaluate liquid drop-out, generate pigging schedules, evaluate slug catcher design and control strategies and more. Attendees will also gain a fundamental understanding of the mulitphase mechanistic flow models available within Symmetry.
This seminar will also investigate:
How to create integrated gathering system pipeline and facility models in Symmetry
Analyzing the hydraulic, thermodynamic, and heat transfer behavior associated with pipeline design and operation
How to simulate pipeline pigging and formulate a pigging schedule
How to evaluate turndown and future expected phase flowrates at the design stage
How to check both steady-state and transient scenarios for risks of Hydrate formation and possibility of line blockage
Simulation of highly-transient safety incidents such as controlled blowdown and uncontrolled rupture

With Symmetry's integrated workflow, attendees will learn how to take an existing process model and design a full relief system to ensure both equipment and people are properly protected. From relief load calculation to relief valve sizing through failure scenario identification and generation, attendees will be left with a full understanding of how to best design their full relief systems.
