Dynamical Modelling and Simulation
At the heart of a typical ISC project is our capability in Dynamic Modelling and Simulation, whether derived from first principles or plant data. We use high-fidelity, properly validated models to provide our clients with answers to "what-if" questions. Such models give confidence that design and/or operational changes will perform to the required specification.
Often dynamic modelling is viewed as complex - a technique with which engineering staff are unlikely to get involved. At ISC we use our considerable experience in modelling the behaviour of a diversity of systems and processes and work closely with our clients to solve their problems. We aim to help clients understand the developed model. It can be provided in standalone form for client use. Furthermore, we can provide training using the model where appropriate.
Our engineers utilise a wide variety of modelling packages such as Matlab / Simulink, LabView, VisSim, Hysys.

Example Projects:
- Assessment of Process Changes - A chemical company wanted to greatly reduce the size of a mixing vessel to minimise waste when changing recipes. A dynamic model was built to assess the viability of level control and the impact on composition and wider process operations. (Download project note)
- Main Oil Line Pump Instability - Offshore oil production was modelled using Hysys.Plant. The source of unacceptable pump speed variability was proven to be a combination of a constraint within the controller and the error-squared mode of operation. (Download project presentation)
