Process simulation is a field that involves all areas of chemical engineering. The development of engineering projects that involve unit operations and processes demand the need to use simulation tools for calculations from stages at the conceptual level to the detailed design and evaluation of ongoing operations. Process simulation allows the integration of mass and energy balance calculations with capital and operating costs in all types of projects.
The simulation allows the development of controllability studies by means of the dynamic simulation of the process, allowing an adequate choice of the control loops in the systems, in turn, it enables the energy evaluation of the plants through the rapid resolution of long calculation techniques, reducing the times. evaluation.
The use of simulators allows the evaluation of chemical plants from the mathematical representation of the process diagrams (PFDs) generating the data necessary for the development of equipment sizing and the calculation of the operating conditions of the process, it also allows optimization studies technical and economic in plants in operation in order to find improvements in profitability.
At Gustavson Consulting we know the benefits of simulation tools for the adequate development of engineering studies in natural gas processing, petrochemical, energy, metallurgical, bioprocess, and chemical industry projects in general, guaranteeing the adequate development of activities carried out by the process engineering area.
