Optimize by Simulating Liquids Pipeline Hydraulics and Batch Operations
Gain valuable insights to reduce emissions, drag-reducing agents (DRA) usage, and energy costs
DeltaV™ PipelineManager™ Software for Optimization allows busy engineers to run advanced simulations that accurately identify bottlenecks and enable efficient management of daily operations. This powerful engineering and operations application simulates the hydraulic and thermodynamic behavior of liquids in a pipeline system to provide operators with advanced visualization that leads to valuable insights. The software leverages fundamental fluid flow theory to model the behavior of liquid pipelines and applies standard engineering equations to address the complex flow phenomena that occur in cross-country, high-pressure pipelines.
- Accurately predict and optimize flow rates and pressures by simulating liquid pipeline hydraulics and batch operations
- Analyze pipe size, temperature, pipeline length, frequency of pumping stations, and the cost of electricity and DRA to optimize your pipeline
Optimize Your Operations and Reduce Costs
Reduce annual power consumption by 5–10% and DRA usage by 10–15% across your pipeline system.
Reduce Emissions
Manage and minimize Scope 2 emissions across multiple pumping stations to improve carbon neutrality, enhance ESG reporting, and avoid financial penalties by meeting legal reporting requirements.
Efficiently Conduct Cost Analysis
Accurately assess costs under different scenarios, evaluate the operational and financial impact of new or modified assets, and make informed business decisions based on reliable cost data.
Predict Power Consumption
Plan efficiently by knowing your power consumption costs ahead of time and improve operational efficiency by shutting down or redistributing loads from underperforming pumping stations.
Automate Run Batched Pipeline Operations
Take the guesswork out of managing pumps and improve pump efficiency by integrating with DeltaV SchedulingManager™ for Liquids Pipelines to simulate and optimize batch flow based on product properties.
Save Money on Power Contracts
Optimize pump station utilization and manage complex, nonlinear power contracts by simulating cost-effective throughput scenarios.
Reliably Report with Transparency
Improve GHG emissions reporting to demonstrate sustainability, identify energy-related risks, build stakeholder trust, and meet regulatory requirements to avoid penalties.
