Simulation software is used widely for process design to ensure safety, reliability and efficiency of plant operations and troubleshooting and debottlenecking of real operation challenges to reduce operational risk and improve productivity.
The purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate how an investment in simulation software that can provide comprehensive coverage throughout the entire lifecycle of a plant, from Front End Engineering Design (FEED), to operator training, to operation optimization can be utilized for maximizing the returns. The returns of the simulation investment are typically achieved through reduced downtime, improved product yield and quality.
A case study will be shared in this presentation to illustrate how a simulation tool helped to turnaround a challenging situation in a production facility.
