Enhanced Data management to create Project Documents starting from Process Simulations

摘要

One of the most widely used approach by Engineering Companies to start designingrnnew Process Plants currently is to develop the process with simulators.rnThis paper has the scope to highlight how the use of commercial structured databasesrncan offer advantages in the data transfer from the simulations into the Projectrndeliverables.rnThe Software allows organizing the Project information from simulations in a structurernthat helps the storage of the data. This results in a documentation that is alwaysrnconsistent and, enhancing the data exchange among various company departments, thernpossibility of errors is reduced.rnIn particular, starting from consolidated simulations, all data present in the streams arernimported correctly into the database, avoiding errors in the manual data entry whilerntransferring the information in the Project Documents (e.g. Material Balances andrnEquipment datasheets).rnMoreover the possibility to import many simulations helps the equipment Processrndesign thru a smart comparing of different operating cases.rnThe advantages have been however not only limited to the import tools alreadyrnembedded in the software, but the possibility to insert data from other sources have beenrninternally developed and improved.
