Version 3.3 of the Dynsim solution has been upgraded to deliver improved modelling of liquefied natural gas (LNG), natural gas liquids and ethylene plants.
Incorporating a new heat exchanger model, Dynsim 3.3 can be used to simulate various LNG spiral wound and plate-fin heat exchanger designs.
There also are new equipment models to simulate more types of plant equipment and additional enhanced capabilities in the area of simulation visualisation.
The improved modelling of rotating equipment now allows motor torque curves and multiple compressor performance curves.
Compressor operation can also be visualised through a dynamic plot of compressor operation with respect to its performance curves.
The new version also includes improved refinery modelling, which provides better support for crude assays and an atmospheric tank model.
Dynsim is integrated with the SimSci-Esscor Pro/II enhanced steady-state simulation program.
Pro/II is the SimSci-Esscor flagship process simulation program that performs rigorous mass and energy balances for a wide range of plant processes.
Dynsim opens and automatically translates steady-state Pro/II simulations into a dynamic simulation model.
Engineers and operators can use Dynsim 3.3 to perform basic design studies, operational troubleshooting, control system checkouts and comprehensive evaluations of standard and emergency operational procedures.
It enables superior control system design and revamp with minimal risk while shortening time requirements for safe plant start-up and shutdown procedures.
It also can routinely help prevent production interruptions while increasing plant efficiency and safety.
Operators can also use it to improve emergency response procedures and prevent expensive equipment damage.
Dynsim is part of the SimSci-Esscor Dynamic Simulation Suite (DSS), which provides the full power of rigorous dynamic simulation and control emulation for plant engineers, operators, and managers.
All DSS programs, including Dynsim, FSIM and TRISIM, offer interoperatability features enabling seamless integration options for meeting specific plant requirements.
In addition, Dynsim readily interfaces to other industry standard applications and incorporates the SimSci-Esscor SIM4ME user environment, which is designed to help businesses build open computing solutions for the process industries.
