gPROMS Flare takes full advantage of PSE’s powerful gPROMS modelling and solution engine and includes:

■ state-of-the-art API 521-compliant fl are system models

Specifi cation dialogs

■ Multifl ash® physical properties for accurate predictions of thermodynamic behaviour

■ Hydrates and ice formation models Options

■ Depressurisation models including detailed 3-dimensional, 3-phase non-equilibrium high-pressure vessel under blowdown conditions

Dynamics – pressure relief valve fl owrate

Wall temperature modelling for selected units

Dynamics – process vessel pressure

Pipe wall temperatures

SOLUTIONS

gPROMS Flare uses high-fi delity fl are models to address all these challenges within one comprehensive framework.

With gPROMS Flare you can: ■ perform all standard steady-state fl are design calculations

■ use dynamic simulation to determine the effects of fl are network holdups (‘packing’)

■ establish the scope for reducing total fl are load via staged relief ■ combine the fl are system and upstream process ■ determine where and when hydrate and ice formation may occur

■ perform full 2-D and 3-D metal temperature modelling for critical areas of piping and equipment

■ calculate directly quantities of operational interest such as remaining fl are margin.

BENEFITS

■ reduce capital cost of new designs ■ determine accurate safety limits ■ reduce weight for offshore equipment ■ determine suitability of existing assets for new service

■ determine the capacity of existing systems and their ability to handle additional loads with little or no capital investment

■ provide operations advisory information and decision support

■ enhance engineering workfl ow by eliminating unnecessary iteration between software tools

■ ensure consistency between process and fl are calculations. Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3  |  Page 4
