Liquid pipeline simulation tool for pipeline modelling and optimization
Effective liquid pipeline simulation and hydraulic modelling
solutions developed by ATMOS provide simulation of flow, pressure and
temperature, allowing load forecasting & Look Ahead Modelling (LAM).
ATMOS LSIM is a liquid pipeline simulation package intuitive
enough for use by all personnel. Specialist simulation engineers are not
required. Make rapid decisions on safety, operations and scheduling tasks.
This powerful tool can be used to plan future expansions and marketing
strategies.
As a modern liquid simulation software ATMOS LSIM offers:
- The convenience of a windows environment of generic structure that
controllers and engineers can use intuitively.
- File formats are tailored to facilitate the effortless creation and
sharing of complex and extensive models between users.
- A powerful, stable engine that delivers rapid and accurate results.
- Flexibility to allow rapid customization for the specific needs of
your company.
ATMOS LSIM is written in full MS Net, using C# and Vb.Net. It allows
fully integrated software using the latest technology which eliminates
crashes and memory leaks. Beware of modelling systems that comprise of
nothing more than software patches around ancient engines designed back in
the seventies.
Advantages of ATMOS LSIM (Liquid simulation software)
- True windows based system
- Stable engine with remarkable accuracy
- Extremely easy to configure with drag and drop objects and drop down
menus populated with all the properties needed to rapidly configure
any liquid network, enabling controllers and engineers to configure a
system in hours that used to take specialist simulation engineers days
to design.
- Transient real time, transient look-ahead, transient predictive and
steady state modelling
- Online/offline batch tracking/line pack/pressure/temperature
estimates.
- Model constraints can be assigned from three sources: SCADA/DCS/PLC
value, a profiled wave form or a fixed value.
- Uses same software for online and offline applications allowing an
offline configuration to be put online at any time as long as the
online tag data exists
- Generic OPC interface to DCS/SCADA or PLC tag data assuring quick
and seamless interfacing with existing control systems
- Graphical representation of all profile sources.
- Powerful pump curve utility that can be imported, exported or drawn
- Comprehensive, fully exportable, property trending and plotting.
Plots can be exported as csv files and bitmaps. Results can be cut and
pasted directly into excel tables.
- All programming written in house by ATMOS staff and can be
customized with quick turn around time for customer specific
requirements.
Unique features of ATMOS LSIM include:
- Variable wave speed: The speed of sound is
continuously calculated at every point in the model throughout the
simulation, accounting for variations in pipe wall material and fluid
properties, particularly those that vary with pressure.
- Variable pipe friction: The friction factor is
re-calculated throughout the simulation allowing accurate modelling of
changing pressure losses as pressure waves travel through the piping
system.
- Vapour pocket formation: The model not only
accounts for the formation and collapse of vapour cavities formed by
low pressure, but the variable wave speed accurately models surge
effects following collapse of such a vapour pocket.
- Drained pipe work and air pockets: ATMOS™LSIM can
model the effects of drained pipe work and the subsequent effects of
priming and movement of air pockets. These effects can be highly
detrimental and damaging to a system if it is re-primed rapidly.
