Process simulator looks the same on- and
offline
ROMeo Version 4.0 software claims a new standard for ease of use and productivity, and now supports a common environment across offline and online simulation applications.
The SimSci-Esscor unit of Invensys Process Systems has released version 4.0 of the ROMeo plant modelling and optimisation software solution for use in refineries, petrochemical plants, and other process facilities With version 4.0, the ROMeo software is now integrated within SimSci-Esscor's SIM4ME common modelling environment

Alliance expands simulation capabilities
SimSci-Esscor has signed a 10-year, exclusive agreement with Koch-Glitsch, a global leader in mass transfer and mist-elimination technology.
This environment provides a consistent user interface, common data model, consistent thermodynamics, and common software modules across different simulation applications to increase productivity while minimising training requirements.
Utilising patented technology, version 4.0 of the ROMeo software enables users to employ a focused strategy of data re-use across the full range of simulation applications - from steady state process design to dynamic simulation and optimisation.
This includes the ability to open a PRO/II process model from within the ROMeo application, allowing users to take existing off-line models online for performance monitoring and optimisation while retaining equity in previously developed models.

More speed for process simulator
Dynsim 3.1 is a powerful, state-of-the-art dynamic process simulation program.
Commenting on this capability, Tom Fiske, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group, stated: "Effective use of modelling and optimisation solutions offers manufacturers a powerful means to improve the economic performance of their plants".
"In addition to optimising their physical processes, companies also need to optimise their workflow and maximise their modelling efforts by reusing data to ensure that decisions made during different lifecycle phases and with different modelling tools are based on a consistent representation of their plant".
The version 4.0 release also features a true modular "subflowsheet" capability that simplifies collaboration.
This capability allows ROMeo software users to build models in a modular and hierarchical manner.
Users can manage multiple independent models as subflowsheets or import one flowsheet into another.
Using subflowsheets, modelling teams can work independently on small sections of a flowsheet for model development or troubleshooting purposes within independent workspaces.
Other capabilities include a new reciprocating compressor model, new column pressure drop calculation models for various tray configurations, a new case comparison utility that enables side-by-side comparisons, and other productivity enhancing features.
"The ROMeo solution allows users to analyse their plant's behaviour and optimise performance based on a wide range of operational and economic conditions", said Alastair Fraser, Vice President of Invensys Process System's SimSci-Esscor unit.
"With the version 4.0 release, we can provide process plants with a powerful solution that is easy to maintain and provides a seamless transition from our offline to online modelling environments".
