Learn more about Flownex:
The Petrochemical Industry is all about moving gas and liquid fluids through extraction, transportation, refinement, and delivery. Flownex has tools to help engineers ensure the safety and optimal performance of each step.
There are a variety of choices for 1-D fluid-thermal simulation in the Oil and Gas industries, many of them providing niche solutions for specific situations. As a general-purpose tool used across many industries, Flownex has the breadth and depth of capability to be used across the industry in every aspect, from extraction through storage. And with extensive customization and easy connection to other tools, those specialty models needed in this industry can be easily added.
Typical uses include:
Modern extraction often leverages high-pressure steam systems. Flownex is an ideal tool to design and optimize such systems and to create digital twins to aid in operations.
Typical applications include:
FEED WATER
COOLING WATER CIRCUITS
NATURAL CIRCULATION BOILERS
SUPER HEATER AND MAIN STEAM PIPING
STEAM TURBINE & SUPPORTING SYSTEMS
ONCE-THROUGH BOILERS
Custom and off-the-shelf heat exchangers are used throughout the oil and gas industry. Sizing or designing the right heat exchanger can have a significant effect on the safety and performance of your systems. Flownex excels at this type of trade study and design exploration.
Typical applications include:
One of Flownex’s sweet spots is simulating complex liquid handling systems, just like the collections of pipes, valves, pumps, and tanks found in oil systems. Add in a viscous liquid and multiple phases, and Flownex shines even more.
Typical applications include:
Drilling mud is a non-newtonian fluid with unique characteristics that normal simulation tools can’t model. But Flownex was built from the ground up to handle those corner cases where you are moving something other than water or air. that is why engineers designing pumping systems for oil wells leverage Flownex to design and optimize their solutions.
Some typical applications are:
A secondary fluid system in many oil and gas applications is fire protection. Regardless of the fire suppressant material you are using, Flownex has the capabilities you need to design a safe and maintainable system that can perform when and where you need it.
Typical uses include:
“I am not aware of any other tool with which I could have obtained the required results in such a short time span. Part of the success must undoubtedly be attributed to the prompt and high level support provided by Flownex® International almost daily in answering all my questions and offering suggestions throughout this very technically challenging simulation. The support fee has been paid for with this one project!”
