Dynamic simulation is a powerful tool for ensuring safety, operability and controllability, but moving models from steady-state to transient can be intimidating for new users. Use this checklist to get started creating a dynamic study from a steady-state flowsheet.

EPC firms that were already under stress from the COVID-related downturn are investing heavily in digitalization initiatives. According to a June 2020 McKinsey report, EPCs have an opportunity to double their profitability by embracing a handful of “emerging disruptors.” One of these disruptors, digitalization of processes, is within reach for most EPCs and aligns with efforts and initiatives already underway at many firms.

Minimize estimating risk and develop bids faster through the improved consistency and accuracy of an integrated, model-based estimating system.
