Multi-train gas process optimisation for
Statoil
Gassco use of ROMeo rigorous on-line modelling, integrated with a Wonderware information system, will enable Statoil to optimise the utilisation of the Karsto plant daily operations
Invensys Process Systems, a world leader in industrial process automation, and Gassco, the Norwegian state-owned gas transportation company have announced the start of a joint project for production planning and optimisation of the multi-train gas processing plant at Karsto Under this agreement, the companies will jointly develop a Production Planning Performance Model (3PM) using Invensys technology

Simulation tools for distillation processes
Koch-Glitsch signs exclusive sales agreement with SimSci-Esscor: the companies are to market simulation tools for rate-based and batch distillation processes in refining and chemical plants
The solution combines a ROMeo rigorous on-line model of the Karsto plant integrated with a Wonderware information system.
The 3PM will have dual functionality to achieve the requirements of both the Planning and Operations departments.
This will enable Gassco to plan and book the maximum capacity available and enable the technical service provider, Statoil, to optimise the utilisation of the plant throughput during the daily operation of Karsto.

Next-generation dynamic process simulation
SimSci-Esscor has released Dynsim 3.1, a powerful, new state-of-the-art dynamic process simulation programme, delivering improved upstream modelling and significant gains in engineering productivity
The solution will minimise operating costs, improve unit yields, increase production flexibility and meet future environmental constraints.
Svein Birger Thaule, Gassco VP Technology stated "Optimising operations in real time calls for very advanced modelling and solutions methodologies.
The system from Invensys will enable Gassco and Karsto to achieve our future operational targets".
"Following successes in refining and petrochemical process optimisation and upstream production management, this project award further underlines that ROMeo is fast becoming the standard for on-line optimisation in all areas of Hydrocarbon Processing.
We are pleased to welcome Gassco to the growing number of major oil and gas companies currently deploying ROMeo based on-line optimisation", said John Derbyshire, VP Invensys Global Solutions.
The SSci-Esscor ROMeo (Rigorous On-line Modeling with Equation-based Optimisation) software is designed to enable plant engineers and management to model process units and optimise operations on a plant-wide or complex-wide basis.
The system uses a combination of real-time plant data and current economic objectives to precisely replicate plant operations.
Based on a rigorous model of the operating facility, the system calculates optimal process set points for the plant control system.
It also helps determine the location and cause of operating constraints and problems.
This one-model concept and state of the art graphical plug-and-play environment minimizes build, implementation and maintenance costs, enabling processors to continue to capture the benefits of this investment in the long-term future.
