The oil and gas production explosion is driving the renaissance of the chemical and process industries in North America. With low-cost natural gas comes low-cost feedstock for many chemical compounds, ...

While plants continually become more complex, chemical engineers, with the advent of computers and commercial off-the-shelf simulation software, can now successfully redesign processes and control ...

A steel processing plant in South Africa needed to upgrade its Wonderware InTouch 7.0 to version 9.5. Plant operators tried the initial upgrade and no errors were reported. But the implementation on ...

Simulation of Chevron Canada Resources Ltd.'s Kaybob South No. 3 gas plant's sulfur-recovery unit (SRU) has been successful in steady state using the HYSYS process simulator and a very close match ...

A novel parallel computing framework for chemical process simulation has been proposed by researchers from the East China University of Science and Technology and the University of Sheffield. This ...

Replacing equipment inside a nuclear power plant requires careful planning that begins many months before the plant outage. Entergy has adopted advanced modeling and simulation tools that allow ...

Process control and simulation lie at the heart of modern industrial operations, enabling continuous monitoring, dynamic adjustment, and predictive optimisation of complex process systems.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is viewed as a key technology to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions worldwide. We have pilot plants or even large scale commercial deployment of solvent based carbon ...

We are living in an increasingly interconnected world – not just in the number of digital devices, but also in how actions can have dozens, if not hundreds or more consequences that cascade through a ...
