Te site contains recoverable reserves of 26b m3 gas and 5m m3
of of condensate, which equates to over
one per cent of Norway’s gas reserves. Honeywell’s integrated control and safety system (ICSS) means work can be continuously controlled and the safety of subsea and topside operations monitored without the need for personnel on site. Te entire operation can be operated remotely from the existing Kvitebjørn platform. Honeywell’s technology reduces the investments needed to achieve the goal of an unmanned platform as minor additional equipment and minimum engineering is required. Te DSA will minimise production costs and increase safety for Statoil personnel, as well as reduce the risk of otherwise duplicated ICSS databases becoming inconsistent over time. Guantak Park, purchasing manager, Samsung
Heavy Industries, said: “We selected Honeywell because of the ability of their PKS to seamlessly integrate with existing technology. Te proven robustness and functionality of Experion PKS gives us the ability to source solutions to maximise productivity safely and at low cost, and will positively impact our competitive position.” Orhan Genis, vice president, sales, Honeywell

DYNSIM 5.0 boosts plant safety I
nvensys Operations Management has issued the newest release of its
SimSci-Esscor dynamic simulation software. Version 5.0 of the company’s DYNSIM software contains many additional features that expand its safety capabilities, improve its performance, lower total cost of ownership, extend usage and greatly reduce the time required to engineer and build process models.
“DYNSIM 5.0 offers functionality
far beyond traditional simulation software, including new patent- pending code to handle start-up and shutdown sequences robustly and efficiently,” said Tobias Scheele, vice

Process Solutions, EMEA, commented: “Te use of Honeywell DSA and PKS technologies at Valemon demonstrates the industry’s recent step forward in resource recovery. Te ability to work remotely is opening up the possibility of extracting large untapped reserves in locations, such as the deep North Sea, that were previously too difficult, distant or dangerous to reach, while also helping to drive down costs and increase efficiency.”
president, advanced applications at Invensys Operations Management. “Te new code greatly improves the performance of our DYNSIM software and realistically depicts plant conditions while maintaining full rigorous modelling. Simply stated, the software helps manufacturers meet the dynamic challenges of designing, commissioning, controlling and operating a process plant safely, reliably and profitably.” DYNSIM software is a rigorous,
first-principle dynamic simulator that predicts the time-dependent behaviour of industrial processes. A well-designed DYNSIM model accurately depicts the
same hydraulic, heat transfer and other equipment constraints as the actual plant and provides a single scalable application that can help companies reduce capital costs, improve plant design, trim commissioning time, increase asset availability and train and certify control room and field operators in a safe environment. Dynamic simulation studies
that are commonly performed with DYNSIM software include distillation column relief load reduction, compressor start-up and surge analysis, de-pressuring analysis, refinery steam control and flare system analysis. ●
