Case Study: Modelling Refinery ProcessesFlex Process
Flex Process modelled most of an oil refinery using Pro/II, giving the client a platform to test modifications off-line, try out new operating regimes, and run different feed stocks, with no risk to the process.
Case Study: Blast Furnace Gas DistributionFlex Process
Flex Process developed a complex dynamic simulation of a gas distribution network handling the off-gas from multiple blast furnaces. By modelling the continuous changes across the low-pressure system, we were able to identify the co-incident events which had the biggest effects, and recommend modifications to improve energy use.

Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant Part 1Anurak Atthasit
Introduction to Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant. Describing the advantage and design limit of the CCGT. Overview of Brayton Cycle and Rankine Cycle - showing some basic thermodynamic to explain some background of CCGT.
This presentation discusses the creation of a template design for Oil Extraction in Alberta using the Steam Assisted Gravity Drain process. It starts from a number of incremental designs across dissimilar systems, a broad vision, the decision to use AVEVA technology and deployment of the design tools. During this period the 3D platform moved from AVEVA PDMS to AVEVA E3D, requiring an appropriate adjustment. It also touches on the future growth.

Optimizing Gas Turbines and Life ManagementWalter Lee
A practical and comprehensive course on condition & life
assessments for gas turbines with the aim of improving gas
turbine operational & maintenance practices, minimizing
the likelihood of failures, prolonging asset life & reducing
maintenance costs.
The aims of the O&M of Gas Turbines Workshop is to share the experiences of our internationally renowned expert with an aim to prevent such incidents and also to examine the factors and opportunities to increase plant safety, environmental performance. And improve uptime and availability all factors contributing to higher profitability.
The workshop will also examine scheduled maintenance and turnarounds which are opportunities to increase plant safety and environmental performance. By enhancing the mechanical integrity of HPI facilities, operating companies can achieve and maintain higher uptime and equipment availability; all are factors that contribute to higher profitability. Best-of-class companies hold the mindset that reliability programs provide great benefits. Investing in new monitoring and conditioning systems, along with preventive maintenance and inspection programs, can optimize unit and total facility performance.
The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines has cut the industry's consumption of water, while dramatically slashing air emissions. Unfortunately, this environmental enhancement has created an engineering challenge: The lean-burning DLN combustors are prone to flame instability, which can cause pressure pulsations large enough to destroy the combustor, launching debris downstream where it annihilates other hot-gas-path components. To detect and correct flame instability before it causes millions of dollars of turbine damage, savvy users have begun to install advanced sensors and robust software that monitor the combustor dynamics in real time.
High dynamics can limit hardware life and/or system operability. Thus, there have been various attempts to control combustion dynamics, to prevent degradation of system performance. There are two basic methods for controlling combustion dynamics in an industrial gas turbine combustion system: passive control and active control. As the name suggests, passive control refers to a system that incorporates certain design features and characteristics to reduce dynamic pressure oscillations. Active control, on the other hand, incorporates a sensor to detect, e.g., pressure fluctuations and to provide a feedback signal.
Which, When suitably processed by a controller, provides an input signal to a control device. The control device in turn operates to reduce the dynamic pressure oscillations. The workshop will examine the factors and the issues associated with combustor dynamics, and technologies like AMFM/CFM.
