Design for the Future of Gas & Petrochemical Industry
The design of gas and petrochemical processes is an important aspect of the oil and gas industry, as these processes are used to produce a wide range of products that are essential to modern society. In order to design these processes for the future, DV Research considers the following,
There is a need to reduce the environmental impact of these processes. This involves designing processes that produce fewer waste products, or using more environmentally friendly feedstocks and raw materials. It also involves the use of closed-loop systems and other technologies that minimize the release of pollutants into the environment.
The design of gas and petrochemical processes must also consider the increasing demand for these products and the need to ensure that they are produced in a cost-effective and efficient manner. This may involve the use of advanced process control technologies and the optimization of production schedules to maximize efficiency and reduce costs.
Numerical methods play an important role in the design of gas and petrochemical engineering systems. These methods allow to analyze and optimize the performance of systems using mathematical models and computational techniques.
Some examples of numerical methods that are commonly used by DV Research in gas and petrochemical engineering includes:
Finite element analysis (FEA): FEA is a numerical method that is used to analyze the structural behavior of systems under various loading conditions. It is widely used in the design of gas and petrochemical systems to predict the stresses and strains on equipment, piping, and other structural components.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD): CFD is a numerical method that is used to analyze the flow of fluids through complex systems. It is commonly used in the design of gas and petrochemical systems to predict the performance of pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, and other equipment.
Optimization algorithms: Optimization algorithms are used to find the optimal design of a system that meets certain performance criteria. These algorithms are used to optimize the design of gas and petrochemical systems by minimizing energy consumption, minimizing the cost of construction, or maximizing the efficiency of the system.
Monte Carlo simulations: Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the behavior of systems that are subject to uncertainty. These simulations can be used to analyze the risk and uncertainty associated with the design of gas and petrochemical systems, and to determine the probability of different outcomes.
Piping in Gas & Petrochemical
Piping in gas and petrochemical engineering refers to the design and layout of pipelines used to transport natural gas, oil, and other petrochemical products. Piping simulations are used to model and analyze the behavior of these pipelines under different operating conditions, such as changes in pressure and flow rate. This can help to optimize the design and operation of the pipeline, reduce the risk of failure, and improve overall safety and efficiency.
Simulations are an important tool in the design and operation of piping systems in gas and petrochemical engineering. It allows to model and analyze the behavior of pipelines under different operating conditions and to evaluate the impact of changes in design and operation on the system’s performance.
DV Research focuses on the following types of simulation that can be used in the analysis of piping systems,
Fluid dynamics simulation: This type of simulation models the fluid flow and pressure changes in the pipeline. It is used to predict the flow rate, pressure drops, and other characteristics of the fluid as it moves through the pipeline.
Heat transfer simulation: This type of simulation models the transfer of heat energy in the pipeline. It is used to predict the temperature distribution and heat losses along the pipeline.
Stress and strain simulation: This type of simulation models the mechanical behavior of the pipeline. It is used to predict the stresses and strains on the pipeline caused by fluid flow and pressure changes.
Material degradation simulation: This type of simulation models the effect of corrosion and other forms of material degradation on the pipeline. It is used to predict the lifespan of the pipeline and to identify areas that may be at risk of failure.
Through Simulations DroneVionics team also helps to optimize the design and operation of the pipeline by simulating different scenarios and identifying the one that results in the best performance.
In the field of gas and petrochemical engineering, multiphase flow refers to the simultaneous flow of multiple phases, such as gas, liquid, and solid, through a pipe or other type of channel. Multiphase flow can occur in a variety of settings, including oil and gas production, chemical processing, and power generation. It is a complex phenomenon that can be difficult to predict and model due to the interactions between the different phases and the various forces at play.
DV Research uses a variety of tools and techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, which can provide detailed predictions of the flow and mixing behavior of the different phases, as well as experimental techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV), to study and understand the multiphase flow and design systems that can handle it effectively.
Simulation of multiphase flow in gas and petrochemical engineering involves the modeling and prediction of the behavior of fluid mixtures consisting of two or more phases, such as a gas-liquid or a liquid-solid mixture. This is a complex process because the different phases can interact with each other in a variety of ways, and the properties of each phase can be strongly affected by the presence of the other phases.
In addition to expertise in the tools and methods used for simulation, the DV Research team has a good understanding of the underlying physics and chemistry of the system. This helps to ensure that the simulation results are accurate and reliable.
Transportation and Storage in Gas & Petrochemical
Transportation in gas and petrochemical engineering typically refers to the movement of natural gas and other petrochemical products through pipelines. These pipelines can be buried underground or located above ground and are used to transport natural gas from the point of production to processing plants, storage facilities, and end users.
Storage in gas and petrochemical engineering refers to the safe and efficient containment of natural gas and other petrochemical products. This can include above-ground storage tanks and underground storage facilities, such as depleted natural gas reservoirs or salt caverns. These storage facilities are used to ensure a steady supply of natural gas and other petrochemical products, as well as to manage fluctuations in demand.
Simulation can be used to optimize transportation and storage systems and to evaluate the impact of different operating conditions on the performance of these systems. This can help to improve the efficiency and safety of these systems and to reduce costs.
DV Research uses simulations in transportation and storage in gas and petrochemical engineering for the following purposes,
- Pipeline design and optimization: Simulations are used to optimize the design of pipelines and to evaluate the performance of different pipeline configurations under different conditions. This helps to ensure that pipelines are safe, efficient, and cost-effective.
- Storage facility design and optimization: Simulations are used to evaluate the performance of different storage facility designs and to optimize the use of existing storage facilities. This helps to ensure that storage facilities are safe and efficient, and that they can meet the needs of different customers.
- Emergency response: Simulations are used to model and predict the behavior of natural gas and other petrochemical products in the event of an emergency. This helps to ensure that emergency response teams are prepared to respond to different types of emergencies and that they have the necessary equipment and resources to manage them.
- Risk analysis: Simulations are used to evaluate the risk of different transportation and storage scenarios and to identify potential hazards. This helps to ensure that the safety and security of natural gas and other petrochemical products are maintained.
