CADSIM Plus

CADSIM Plus performs precise heat and material balances of any chemical process. It can also be used to develop complex dynamic simulations with control logic and batch operations. It is used by process engineers for tasks such as process design, process troubleshooting, prediction of future process conditions and searching for solutions to dynamic control or process stability problems in the plant.

Some examples of dynamic simulation use in process design and operation include:

-Process investigation and optimization: --process operation for optimized quality and operating costs --prediction of future operation; product and environmental quality --water management, use reduction and contamination control --transient condition studies --'what if' studies --storage requirements to allow shut-down and start-up --contaminent build-up dynamics and inter-area cross links --energy studies -DCS checkout -Process control, loop tuning, and interaction with the entire process -Process control strategy development and model building -Online Dynamic Data Reconciliation applications -Online optimization and advanced process control applications -Product tracking -Energy tracking

Dynamic Data Reconciliation (DDR) is a proprietary Aurel technology which you can use to correct inaccurately measured plant data, and calculate process data for unmeasured parameters in your process in close to real time. Reconciled data can be stored in your data historian and used as the basis for many different kinds of advanced, online applications to help you reduce operating costs and improve product quality. DDR can be used with an OPC connection to allow a CADSIM Plus model to obtain data live from a process DCS or process historian, and then run the simulation to balance the process and predict certain outcomes, or to monitor the process. Resulting simulation values can then be put into a spreadsheet for further analysis, or put back to a separate set of DCS tags for the operator to review.
