PSIpipelines

A really effective way to monitor pipelines

You operate liquid and gas pipelines, either onshore or subsea.

Monitor all areas with limited or without instrumentation. Simplify and speed up operations and tasks that are essential for the safe transportation of your commodities. Detect leaks quickly and reliably. Track scrapers and batches in multiple-product pipelines. Identify deposits and instrumentation issues. Gain new information and improve your operations.

The software PSIpipelines is your guardian for the safe transportation of 150+ different liquids and gases with different compositions, including crude oil, natural gas, NGL, petrochemical products, chemical products, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, water and many more.

Real-Time Transient Modelling

Your pipeline's digital twin

  Use the most advanced simulation technology to discover what really happens everywhere and everytime inside your pipelines. Thousands of virtual sensors and virtual meters are automatically made available to provide highly accurate data every second. Quickly identify changing conditions and their root causes. Observe immediately all effects of operator actions. And, combine the RTTM with other applications to improve preventative analytics and maintenance, leak detection, product tracking and more.

Real-Time

60 hydraulic profiles with thousands of data points each are calculated every second. These profiles represent the overall process state of your pipeline. All measured values of your instrumentation are used for numerical calculations.

Look-Ahead

Prevent assets from damage. Identify in advance any negative drift towards undesirable conditions. Detect the process element that is going to reach a certain threshold. Determine the exact time at which the event will occur. Adjust pump switches or modify set points accordingly.
