Petro-SIM empowers EPC firms with precise process simulation. Combining seamless integration of Multiflash® and Maximus® with advanced third-party add-ons, Petro-SIM gives EPCs accurate modeling, accelerates design, improves efficiency, and enables optimized, cost-effective, and environmentally compliant project delivery.
The hydrotreating and isomerization simulator optimizes the conversion of bio-based feeds into high-quality paraffins for renewable diesel (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This advanced simulation tool supports both co-processing with conventional fossil-based feeds and 100% bio-feed processing, enabling EPCs to design flexible refinery operations for adaptable fuel production.
KBC’s electrolyser simulator enables EPCs to accurately model PEM, ALK, and SOEC technologies in steady-state and dynamic modes. With three calculation modes: advanced gas saturation, water recycling, and hydrogen crossover modeling, it supports design and optimization, ensuring realistic performance analysis and efficient development of green hydrogen projects.
The Fischer-Tropsch simulator (FTR-SIMTM) helps EPCs optimize SAF production by accurately modeling syngas-to-liquid conversion. It incorporates a kinetic model for both cobalt (Co) and iron (Fe) catalysts, enabling precise reaction predictions. Additionally, it ensures rigorous heat and material balances, kinetic tuning, and thermal performance evaluation. This enables precise design, improved catalyst performance, and efficient, high-fidelity simulation for Fischer-Tropsch process development and project execution.
KBC’s FlaretotTM enables EPCs to design and analyze flare systems with precision, modeling radiation, noise impact, and pollutant dispersion. Its intuitive interface and advanced capabilities - like contour plots, flame analysis, and shield attenuation - ensure compliant, efficient flare system design, minimizing environmental impact and improving safety in complex project developments.
Multiflash provides EPCs with accurate PVT modeling for complex fluids across LNG, CCS, natural gas, steam, polymers and chemicals, as well as petroleum fluids. Its extensive component database and reliable phase behavior predictions support flow assurance, process simulation, and risk mitigation, enabling cross-discipline collaboration and optimized design through a consistent, high-accuracy thermodynamic and physical properties platform.
EPCs can simulate an entire asset from reservoir to surface with Maximus, supporting accurate Life of Field planning. Its thermo-hydraulic modeling ensures precise modeling of complex networks while incorporating realistic operating strategies. Maximus identifies flow constraints, streamlines workflows to achieve optimal designs, and enhances collaboration across disciplines for better decision-making. The tool supports CO₂ storage analysis and ultimately enhances field and facility optimization for long-term operational efficiency.
