Haverly crude assay data in simulation
systems
A new interface simplifies integration of Haverly Systems H/CAMS crude assay data into SimSci-Esscor PRO/II process simulations to help further improve yields and profitability
SimSci-Esscor, a unit of Invensys Process Systems, and Haverly Systems have jointly developed an easy-to-use interface between the popular Haverly Crude Assay Management System (H/CAMS) and the SimSci-Esscor industry-leading PRO/II process simulation software The new interface enables crude assay information from the extensive Haverly databases to be directly imported into PRO/II process simulations

This feature is now standard on the latest versions of the PRO/II and H/CAMS software from SimSci-Esscor and Haverly, respectively.
"Seamless access to accurate crude assay data for use in planning, scheduling, and process simulation systems is key to profitable refinery operations," said Ken Spencer, Vice President, Haverly Systems.
"H/CAMS is the system of choice for maintaining and populating crude assay data across the entire refinery value chain.

This new interface with PRO/II gives our joint customers yet another avenue to maximise the value of their investment".
"The overall usefulness of any process simulation is highly dependent on the quality of the feedstock information utilised," commented Alastair Fraser, Vice President of Invensys SimSci-Esscor unit.
"This new interface to the Haverly Crude Assay Management System makes it easy for our PRO/II users to incorporate the latest and best crude assay information available into their refinery and petrochemical plant process models, thus helping them to further improve plant yields and profitability through our advanced simulation technology".
Invensys SimSci-Esscor-brand PRO/II process simulation programme performs rigorous mass and energy balances for a wide range of chemical processes.
From oil and gas separation to reactive distillation, the PRO/II program is among the most comprehensive and easy-to-use simulation solutions available.
The widely used Haverly H/CAMS family of applications, assay databases (which include the worldwide libraries from both BP and ChevronTexaco), and services are dedicated to crude assay management.
Using this jointly developed interface, PRO/II users can quickly.
* access H/CAMS complete crude libraries.
* add and/or modify libraries.
* predict yields and properties of user-defined blends.
* analyze and prepare data on single or mixed oils.
* group crudes.
* display detailed hydrocarbon information from chromatographic analyses.
* generate files that link reports with other models, programmes, or spreadsheets.
* select from English, metric, or alternate units for entering and reporting data.
