Chemical plant simulation entails the use of particular skills to model complex mixing
and flow situations.
Key Benefits
- Resolve costly plant problems by accurately simulating the problem and establishing a
root cause.
- Proposed solutions to a problem can be tested analytically at a reduced cost before an
expensive modification is implemented.
- Cost benefit studies and sensitivity studies can be easily performed
Capabilities
Typically, a plant simulation is performed by using the appropriate
software, which has been validated for the appropriate application, and by developing the
input, that accurately represents the plant function and/or event. EDA has performed many
simulations of problem systems and has provided root cause and corrective action to
correct the problems.
Reference Accounts
- Reference 1
- Developed a plan to solve the problem. This was performed by establishing a Corrective
Action Team (CAT) which consisted of plant maintenance, operations, system and design
engineers, technical experts, and a facilitator. The CAT ensured that the most appropriate
root cause had been identified and the most cost-effective corrective action has been
proposed.
- Reference 2
- Verification and validation of computer software which was used to solve the problem.
- Reference 3
- Developed input for the computer programs and analyzed the problem. As part of this
activity, a validation of the software was performed to ensure that the computer program
and the user were capable of simulating the system and/or event being analyzed.
