3. “Better predictions – faster”
BPT APPS for process simulation
CODES Design an optimal compressor geometry based on physics and thermodynamics. Performs Life of Field evaluation of your compressor system already as part of the concept
PSX Pressure relief valve design and rating model. Compliant with API 520 9ed, June Ensures fulfilment of API 520 ref , “changes in vapour rates and relative molecular masses at various time intervals”
OLX® and LLX™ interactive multiphase simulators connectors to the Hyprotech heritage software.
TEX optimal turbo expander design and rating for system evaluations and concepts
MWF™ specify feed composition, GOR, liquid properties, water-cut, pressure, temperature and rates.
EXT™ accelerate work execution by standardising and reducing configuration and reporting time. Integrated piping and equipment sizing functionality. Customizable to Client specific requirements.
ROX Restriction Orifices, venturi and orifice plate flow meters design.
TSF™ makes using a model with online data easy and fast to implement
BPT provides independent and trusted 3rd party specialist consultancy services to the upstream market
BPT specializes in overpressure protection studies using linked dynamic simulations fulfilling API requirements
BPT turns knowledge into software for improved usage of world class simulators
BPT Apps supports Petro-SIM, UniSim & HYSYS and provides data export from Steady State tools to K-Spice for improved Front End Loading capabilities
“Better predictions – faster”

4. Increase prediction capabilities
Project Improvements
Increase prediction capabilities
Front End
Execution
Operation DG
Improve conceptual maturity
Identify project risks and mitigate them earlier
Reduce project time and cost
Earlier start-up with improved operability

5. A change in concept development
“The Design Case” concept is abandoned
Integrated work flow tools allow evaluation of a larger data set
Duty/load variations become visible to the engineers
Standard reporting tools integrated in the work process
Full traceability between predictions and selected design
Data for an operability analysis is available before FEED

6. BPT Apps Ensure Efficient Process Design

7. Can work with minimal Fluid Data required
Benefits of BPT-MWF
Reduced Flowsheet Complexity
Can work with minimal Fluid Data required
Converts API to components
Simulations up to 10x faster
One Input Screen
