The new features and enhancements available in this functional release are the result of on-going input from, and collaboration with UniSim Design users, coupled with Honeywell’s commitment to simulation solutions. Summarized in this document are some of the key new UniSim Design Suite features and enhancements in this release. Safety System Design Tools With UniSim Design Suite R451, Honeywell is enhancing the workflow and data transfer between the pressure relief sizing product, UniSim PRS, and the flare sizing and rating product, UniSim Flare. This workflow is part of the larger scope of development work on the safety system design tool integration. UniSim PRS exports an excel file, which contains information per: Relief device: lists a data summary for all scenarios applicable to a specific relief device historical plant data. The generated data can be used to tune scheduling and optimization applications, through copy/paste functionality and/or communications via OLE to excel. The utility investigates a number of cases within an operating range for each independent variable and generates linear models with each dependent variable. Once the vectors are generated, the results can be visualized in plots, to compare how well the linear models match the data. In cases of non-linearity, the operational envelope can be broken down into smaller ranges and different LP vectors can be generated, to approximate linear behavior. With this development Honeywell is commercializing and enhancing a Honeywell UOP engineering tool. Although the original intent was to better serve the refining market, this application is very powerful and applicable to all other markets. Project: lists the scenario which yields the largest relief area for each device in a project The data transferred, include: Non-scenario specific data: configuration information (PRD and piping data) Scenario specific data: stream information (P, T, F, and composition) These data can now be imported into UniSim Flare. This development eliminates tedious work and potential errors with large volumes of data LP Vector Generation Utility Interface transfer. Crude Assay Management UniSim Design now links to Haverly H/CAMS, a specialist 3rd party crude management software, via a COM interface. Haverly library crude assays Importing UniSim® PRS data into UniSim® Flare can be imported under the UniSim Crude Manager environment, where it is also possible to include proprietary assays and import assays using the crude assay import facility (which was introduced with UniSim Design R450). Haverly H/CAMS contains over 2000 assays: LP Vector Generation Utility The LP Vector Generation Utility is a new 1850 Chevron assays feature introduced with UniSim Design Suite R451. This utility generates LP vectors from a set of user-configurable independent and dependent variables, either from a simulation model or from 320 Haverly assays All refinery properties of assays or blends can be plotted and visualized with the stream property plot utility and can be exported to reports. - PAGE 2 - The new LP Vector Generation Utility which is introduced with UniSim Design Suite R451, can help derive linear models from a simulation model or historical plant data. The linear models can be used to tune scheduling and optimization applications. operations and sub-flowsheets. So, it is now possible to model most refining process areas. With the development of the UniSim Crude environment and the Crude Assay Import Utility with UniSim Design Suite R450 and the link to the Haverly H/CAMs with UniSim Design Suite R451, Honeywell provides the maximum flexibility for assay crude importing, management and visualization. Oil Blend Breakup: The Oil Manager now allows more flexibility with the definition of the Starting Cut Point and the Ending Cut Point of the blends. Also, in the case of blends with zero flow, hypo components can still be characterized. PPR78 - Regression of PPR Binary Coefficients: There is now more flexibility in the Crude Assay Import and Visualization Tools in UniSim Design. Productivity Tools With UniSim Design Suite R451, we are introducing a new productivity tool, the Data Management Spreadsheet (DMS). Originally binary coefficient regression for the PPR thermodynamic package. For each component pair’s estimation, the user can modify the temperature range for the generation of data and can set individual parameters to zero thereby modifying the regression. Vapor Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity: The developed and extensively used by Honeywell HPS operations, this excel-based tool enables data management, reporting and auditing of simulation cases. It: viscosity and thermal conductivity for the waterand hydrogen-free portion of the vapor phase is now calculated at the system temperature and "zero" pressure. reads data from active case(s) and categorizes them by equipment type Flowsheet Optimization propagates audited/reduced data back to model generates stream (H&MB) reports generates default curves for rotating equipment generates instrument reports Calculation Order Utility Enhancement: The Adjust-Recycle Manager (ARM) Group can act as a trigger object in the Calculation Order Utility. This feature gives more flexibility to handling the sequence of calculations in a flowsheet. compares data between cases Adjust-Recycle Manager Enhancement: It is The Data Management Spreadsheet is supported for 32x and 64x bit excel applications. now possible to include SSOVs to Adjust-Recycle Manager Groups, so that the user has control over their execution. Other Enhancements Blocking OLE/COM access: OLE/COM access is not allowed when locking and hiding a flowsheet. This development better protects the user intellectual property embedded into UniSim Design. Data Management Spreadsheet populated with simulation data. It is now possible to access and plot UniSim utilities, such as the Boiling Point Curve Utility through the UniSim-Excel Interface (USE-IT) / Browser or a custom OLE automation solution spreadsheet. Thermodynamics Enhancements Handling of Refining Properties: All refining properties can now be propagated across all unit - PAGE 3 - UniSim® Design Suite UniSim Design Suite Support Services Honeywell’s UniSim Design Suite, is part of the UniSim software family of online and off-line process design and optimization applications.
