MSE engineers have extensive experience
in analysing the operations of existing and new assets
through their life. MSE use their specialist engineering
knowledge and unique simulation approaches to identify
current and future bottlenecks or limiting factors. This
allows plant and/or machinery modifications to be planned
and executed in a controlled and timely manner.
MSE's rigorous simulation of compression facilities within
fully integrated
GASMAN models allows the timing of the onset of
future limiting factors to be identified and planned for.
For example, the onset of limitations imposed by compression
operating boundaries (e.g. max speed, max discharge
temperature, recycle) are identified in advance by MSE,
allowing compressor rewheels to be planned for. The onset of
such limitations is identified by MSE engineers in both
existing assets and in new facilities.
Using their proprietary centrifugal compressor design
program (CENTRIF),
MSE derive rewheel designs and specifications. Once the
designs are finalised, the benefits of rewheeling can be
quantified using GASMAN modeling, and the increase in
deliverability demonstrated to the operating company.
The forecasting of rewheel and/or additional casing
schedules is equally important in the life of field analysis
of new/proposed facilities. MSE's detailed analyses not only
allow for adequate sizing of major rotating equipment and
associated plant to suit the life of the plant, but also
allow forecasted production profiles for new/proposed
facilities to accurately reflect the step changes in
production flows resulting from future planned modifications
(such as rewheeling, addition of further casings or booster
compressor trains). Many operating companies have realized
the benefits of the accurate life of field analysis afforded
by MSE's experience and proprietary software suites.
