Linking Downstream and Upstream with the PRO/II – PIPEPHASE interface

The PRO/II – PIPEPHASE interface is a stand-alone graphical user interface that allows PIPEPHASE simulations to interface with PRO/II simulations. The interface allows bi-directional transfer
of data between simulations, as well as simultaneous solution of the simulation models, which means that recycles between flowsheets can be rigorously handled. The interface can also be used to transfer data from PRO/II to PRO/II and PIPEPHASE to PIPEPHASE simulations, which enables large simulations to be broken down into more manageable flowsheets.

About PRO/II: PRO/II is the major product in the Process Engineering Suite (PES). This process simulation software optimizes plant performance by improving process design, operational analysis, and performing engineering studies. It is designed to perform rigorous heat and material balance calculations for a wide range of chemical processes. PRO/II allows users to evaluate the use of heat integration with case studies, rigorously evaluate process improvements with the help of a process flow diagram (PFD), or model crude distillation units. PRO/II offers a wide variety of thermodynamic models to virtually every industry and is incredibly cost effective, decreasing both capital and operating costs.

About PIPEPHASE: PIPEPHASE is part of its Upstream Optimization Suite solution from Invensys. It is currently being used by the world’s leading oil and gas producing companies to increase production. PIPEPHASE is a steady state, multiphase fluid flow simulation solution for rigorous modeling of gathering networks and pipeline systems. This solution can model applications ranging from single well sensitivity analyses of key parameters, to a multi-year planning study for an entire production field. It is improving profitability and performance in companies across the globe.
