A conversation with Martin Duff

In this “Conversation with”, we sat down with our Business Development Director for the water industry Martin Duff, who’s responsible for driving our innovation to help the UK water and wastewater industries reduce the consequences of water leakage.

Ask the expert Q&A: using pipeline simulation live on site, for the energy transition, for accurate models and more

Pipeline simulation software like Atmos SIM can support problem-solving at all stages of a pipeline lifecycle. We interviewed our Chief Simulation Scientist and co-author of “The Atmos book of pipeline simulation”, who answered some of the key questions we get asked around pipeline simulation.

A range of different flow regimes exist beyond a single phase, but until recently, pipeline simulation software lacked the advancements to model anything beyond a single phase. Now, multi-phase flow regimes can be modeled by a pipeline simulator as long as accuracy is a priority.

Pipelines remain the safest method of transporting any fuel, but they are not without their risks. Here’s how look-aheads and optimizers work together to play a crucial role in effectively anticipating risks and violations on a pipeline and prompting action.

Investing in a strong, underlying physical pipeline model for offline studies pays dividends during a pipeline’s lifetime. Further value can be added when an underlying model for offline studies is adapted for deployment in real-time
