TAILORED WORKSPACES—OPTIMIZED FACILITY
Introducing Symmetry - our new simulation software platform!

Symmetry, our process software platform, is a comprehensive simulator that captures all aspects of your models from reservoir to product distribution.

Watch the video to find out how Symmetry's unprecedented level of collaboration and cooperation allows teams to seamlessly transfer knowledge and expertise, maximizing the total value of your asset.

Working with Multiple Workspaces in Symmetry

Symmetry provides tailored workspaces for simulation models, including: processing facilities, pipe networks and flare systems. Each flowsheet in a simulation model can be set to work in one of these workplaces. This article demonstrates how to manage multiple workspaces in one simulation case.

Symmetry Flare Workspace Review

Eric Parvin, of Parv Consulting, wrote about his experience migrating flare system files into the new Symmetry Flare Workspace.

Optimization of Reciprocating Compressors to Maximize Throughput

Reciprocating compressors are well-suited for delivering high pressure compressed gas in single or multi-stage configurations. These pieces of equipment are expensive and energy intensive and as a result, it is important to operate them at their “optimal point” regardless of natural gas price. 

This article shows an example of how to use Symmetry to simulate the reciprocating compressors and using these models to maximize throughput. 

Direct Columns in Symmetry

The Direct Column unit operation in Symmetry is a simplified separation unit that mimics the performance of a Distillation Column. This article will provide insights plus tips and tricks for a faster/easier set up of the unit operation in order to match the product TBP, flow rate and composition.

Symmetry Flare adds Flare Radiation Analysis

The Symmetry Flare Workspace now allows users the ability to evaluate and verify the safety of the entire relief system, from relief devices through the header network and to the flare tip.

More Properties Tab in Symmetry

Have you ever been in a situation where you wander around the simulator looking for special properties like Octane Numbers, Heat of Vaporization or Exergy for your fluid? Do you want to quickly access information tools like Phase Envelopes, Property Tables or Oil Analyses?

Expediting Model Creation in Symmetry Using GIS Data

Several new features have been developed in Symmetry’s Field Workspace to enhance integrated modeling. 

The new features expedite model creation, help evaluate and visualize results, and assist the user in creating geographically and topographically accurate network models.
