Petro-SIM
Making the complex simple
Petro-SIM is KBC’s leading process simulation software and optimization platform for driving excellence in facility performance and organizational productivity. At the core of Petro-SIM’s technology are rigorous process simulation models which generate dependable results in an intelligent, user-friendly environment.
Petro-SIM process simulation software is the go-to technology for upstream, midstream and downstream refinery and petrochemical processes.
Petro-SIM process simulation technology is more than just a leading software. It is also a thorough ‘decision support’ tool. Its unique open platform architecture promotes exceptional levels of integration and collaboration between project teams.
It allows date-based process simulations and scenarios to be fully developed, making it a uniquely effective predictive and analytical tool. It closes the loop between monitoring and planning, allowing for real-time comparisons of plans, actuals and simulations.
For upstream oil and gas, Petro-SIM is the only purpose-built process simulation software that can ensure facility processing capabilities meet long term reservoir needs.
In oil refining and petrochemicals, our Petro-SIM process simulation software works in tandem with our world-leading SIM Reactor Suite to create the only proven simulator capable of scaling from reactor units to entire facilities.
In other industries, Petro-SIM supports plug-ins for third-party simulation tools.
Key features of Petro-SIM include:
