Genesis offers an exclusive blend of knowledge to deliver bespoke, rigorous solutions that provide clear and feasible design and operational recommendations.
Our process dynamic simulation service includes:
- Design validation for complete process and control schemes
- Compressor control and surge protection
- Troubleshooting sub-optimal operation
- Overpressure protection (High Integrity Pressure Protection System)
- Liquid surge overpressure
- Flare header capacity validation
- Sizing and operation of slug catchers and subsea production systems
- Validating operational /start-up procedures
- Operator training…
- …or a combination of the above.
The suite of tools we use includes:
- Process simulators such as HYSYS and UNISIM
- Pipeline simulators such as LedaFlow, Maximus, OLGA and PipeSim
- Integration of the process and pipeline simulators, for example OLGA-HYSYS link
- Water hammer simulators such as Pipenet.
When standard commercial tools are not adequate we develop our own in-house tools, such as:
- Compressors control emulators
- Depressuring/blowdown extension
- Non-dimensional compressor extension.
We have a strong background in specialist modelling techniques such as dynamic simulation of multiphase pipeline flows, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and rigorous modelling of emergency depressuring/blowdown,
This is all supported by our network of engineering experts.
