Simulation and Modeling
Process Simulation and Mathematical Modeling Services are among our core technical consulting and design offerings. We are an international leader in simulation and modeling for the energy (upstream and downstream) and petrochemical industries. Our services maximize throughput, efficiency, and yield for clients throughout the world.
Ingenero’s Process Simulation - Steady State and Dynamic
Ingenero delivers robust simulation models that are extensively used by clientele as predictive indicators to enhance critical decision making and greatly contribute to de-bottlenecking. We provide both rigorous thermodynamic models and empirical models, depending on the process. We use simulation models to provide services including troubleshooting, corrosion studies using ionic modeling, thermal pinch analysis, pressure relief and flare systems rating and design, dynamic simulation, and process simulation software testing. Training is a component of many of Ingenero's offerings. With dynamic simulation, for instance, we conduct offline training of board operators and field operators to produce long-term plant performance improvements. Dynamic simulation is also utilized for the development and tuning of APC control systems.
Linear and Non-Linear Programming
We help clients optimize inventory, production, blending, and supply chain issues to maximize profits. Planning, scheduling and other operations are mathematically modeled per client constraints to maximize profits.
Heat Exchangers
Ingenero provides design and rating services for shell and tube exchangers, as well as specialty designs (e.g. twisted tube etc.). We can also monitor heat exchangers to optimize ongoing performance in addition to setting cleaning schedules.
Furnaces
Our furnace modeling services have consistently maximized productivity and minimized downtime for clients. In a recent project, we were tasked with determining the maximum capacity of a cracking furnace for olefins production and found that the furnace could operate at 118% of the current throughput, all while meeting the capacity constraints of the associated equipment. We model furnaces using empirical and specialized furnace software models. This includes furnace modeling for refinery units and crackers, as well as detailed thermal and hydraulic analysis.
