Dynamic Simulation

Compressor systems are widely used in different applications ranging from refrigeration cycles to industrial chemical manufacturing. One such application is a compression unit in refinery and petrochemical plants in order to rich the desired pressure for further applications.

Types of equipment that are utilized here include compressors, heat exchangers, separators and anti-surge systems. Surge is a highly undesirable flow phenomena related to compressor performance in which the compressor can be severely damaged. Since the Surge phenomenon is a system phenomenon which is affected by the arrangement and specifications of the equipment including turbo-compressors, gas coolers, scrubbers, piping, valves, anti-surge, etc. Relevant dynamic analysis should be done to prevent all unexpected dangerous transient behaviors. Designing and testing the stations using dynamic analysis will result in reducing additional equipment costs as well as increasing operation reliability of the unit. Turbotec is one of the few powerful companies in this field offering turbo-compressor systems and in-house models developed by its own experts.

The followings are the most significant projects in this field which have been completed by Turbotec:
