Our Offshore Expertise
Our Software Tools
We have developed a suite of tried and tested in-house software tools as well as industry standard tools to optimise design and operations.
MeasVal
Performs QA check of HYSYS model inputs, outputs and provides error identification
MeasCap
Capacity model linked to HYSYS allows multiple facility production cases to be run and constraints to be identified and assessed quickly
Prorank
Methodology to compare and rank projects/modifications on an equivalent economic basis
Override Assessment Tool
Allows operators to quickly assess the risk of multiple related overrides and understand the implications and related safeguards
HAZOP Action Close-out Management
Web-based HAZOP management tool tracks and controls action progress and provides full visibility across multiple organisations
Debottlenecking Database
Used to quickly identify common options for debottlenecking and allow a rapid risk assessment on additional impacts
