Estimate the current process state taking pressure, flow, gas composition as well as temperature into account. Simulation results are checked continuously. All information including alarms and warning messages is logged and displayed.
A preselected operation mode might become inappropriate. Quickly identify any negative drift towards undesirable conditions in advance. Detect the process element that is going to reach a certain threshold. Determine the exact time at which the event will occur. Adjust control or switch operations.
Determine in advance the consequences of operator-initiated actions. Based on real-time simulation, valve settings, modified set points and other information the What-If simulation calculates future process values. Multiple scenarios can be evaluated. Validate load in order to ensure safe supplies.
Analyze the impact of new delivery, transportation and storage contracts. Plan new network sections and stations, also for the feeding of biogas, hydrogen or synthetic methane. Verify operational impacts and determine capacity utilization under different supply conditions.
Track volume and location of different gas qualities from entry to exit points. Monitor interface mixing and adjust your schedules in accordance to changed conditions.
Track different types of smart pigs, scrapers and spheres. Get real-time updates on position, speed and arrival time. Optimize operations and avoid collisions at intermediate stations.
Get accurate information on biogas feed-in and feed-out at all points in your network. Track every change in gas qualities and properties. Determine exact arrival times at exit points.
Obtain pipeline throughput at the lowest operating cost. Avoid flow blockage and corrosion growth. Get notified in advance to initiate pipeline cleaning. Find the optimal pigging frequency.
Improve maintenance and quickly detect failures. Compare the readings from field instrumentation with simulation data to detect drift and malfunction.
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Set optimal operating pressures to reduce control energy and power consumption. Identify undesirable operating conditions.
Calculate accurate calorific values. Avoid expensive measurements at exit points of your gas network.
Inject natural gas, biogas, bio-methane or hydrogen into your network without expensive conditioning.
