Introducing the new VMGSim 9.0 1
PVT Analysis
Perform reservoir fluid characterization in VMGSim with the PVT analysis
unit operation
Available experiments:
Constant Mass Expansion
Constant Volume Depletion
Differential Liberation
Separator
Volumetric
Viscosity
Introducing the new VMGSim 9.0 3
Tank emissions
Estimate and report emission losses from organic liquid storage tanks
according to EPA’s Guidelines
Calculate all sources of emissions under normal operation such as:
Standing storage losses: tank breathing losses, rim seal losses, fittings losses
and deck seam losses
Working / withdrawal losses
Estimates losses per component and for the overall fluid; over annual and
monthly time periods
Perform rigorous fluid property and flash calculations
Produce emissions reports within seconds
For instance, we are interested in the minimum temperature in the vessel, to ensure
that it does not go below the minimum temperature rating for the vessel walls.
To facilitate this analysis, a min-max tracker has been implemented. You can
access it from the Dynamics menu. This tool will keep track of the minimum and
maximum values for variables during the course of the simulation.
Introducing the new VMGSim 9.0 4
Variable Stepsize
Track your depressuring better by optimizing your integrator stepsize using variable
stepsize.
Shrink the stepsize if the gradients are large, allowing the calculation to
better track the evolution of the system over time.
Expand back to the base size when the system is approaching a steady-
state, , allowing a better performance.
Stream Recording
Save your time and effectively share your data from upstream to downstream
processes by using stream record and playback feature.
Model your process and flare in parallel, the data from a process team
analysis can then be passed to the flare team for the flare network
analysis.
Share your data simply by copy and paste it using Excel.
