What we do: Transient Relief Analysis Services​

Simply Simulation is specialized in Dynamic/Transient Relief Analysis. With over 25+ years of experience in dynamic simulation based studies. Over the years we have helped our clients improve the safety of new and existing plants, reduce the potential and magnitude of relief and flaring events, and save hundreds of millions of dollars in revamp and greenfield capital costs.

How are we different?

Proven success record in delivering maximum value to our clients, resulting in significant capital savings and improved safety.

We use dynamic simulation for capturing the transient nature of relief scenarios, hence providing a highly accurate representation of potential relief and flaring events.

We adopt a unique agile methodology for project management and delivery. Our studies are consistently delivered in shorter time frames than conventional studies.

Success Stories

Crude and vacuum units relief analysis and mitigation study. Through rigorous calculation of relief load trends over time as related to the fired heater design, the study results identified modifications to the distillation columns and associated fired heaters safety shutdown systems resulting in 46% relief load reduction and capital investment reduction > $100 million.

Naphtha Hydrotreater Complex Dynamic Relief Analysis. A revamp project achieved 50% increased capacity, which triggered an evaluation of the whole relief system of the complex. The study identified existing system capacity and bottlenecks. Targeted modifications resulted in improved safety and capital cost reduction > $250 million

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) Contingency Analysis. The study was used to assess the ability of the FCCU gas plant relief system to handle an increase in unit feed capacity beyond design rate, and to identify the limitations and bottlenecks in the safety devices. Transient study was conducted following a conventional analysis and resulted in capitalist reduction > $35 million.  

Contact us for more details about these studies and many others. We can give you a quick assessment of what to expect for your specific scenario.
