Multi-Purpose Dynamic Simulation Delivers Lifecycle Benefits
Simulation must be a practical investment for any Operations Manager to make, regardless of the size of the plant or the industry. Dynamic process simulation reduces the risk and cost of improving the operation and control of the plant and supports upskilling of the work force. DeltaV Mimic simulation software provides value to the execution of capital projects and control system modernization as well as the lifecycle operation performance of the plant.
Improve Plant Performance
Mimic simulates accurate and real-time plant behaviors. Choose the complexity of the model and scale it as necessary through the lifecycle of the plant. The dynamic simulation can be used to test new control design ideas to make sure there are no adverse effects, as well as train your operators to better handle usual or unusual situations.
Minimize Unscheduled Downtime
Unscheduled downtime can result from operators responding incorrectly to situations or from known and unknown errors in control system configuration. Dynamic simulation allows you to test new engineering changes before commissioning and train operators on startup, shutdown, abnormal situations, and infrequent plant upsets.
Reinforce Safety Procedures
Without a thorough understanding of the process, operators won’t know how to adapt and act in certain process safety events. Dynamic simulation allows you to compress time so that operators learn the appropriate actions to take in abnormal events that typically take years of experience to learn.
Reduce Project Risk
Project risks include schedule compression, operators not ready, and unproven control strategy. Develop dynamic simulation parallel to the control system development to realize its benefits before commissioning. Mimic provides built-in tools to automate and increase the quality of testing and training.
