Product Description

Emerson’s PipelineManager™ Software for Optimization (formerly PipelineOptimizer™ Software) allows busy engineers to run advanced simulations that accurately identify bottlenecks and enable efficient management of daily operations. This powerful engineering and operations application simulates the hydraulic and thermodynamic behavior of liquids in a pipeline system to provide operators with advanced visualization that leads to valuable insights. The software leverages fundamental fluid flow theory to model the behavior of liquid pipelines and applies standard engineering equations to address the complex flow phenomena that occur in cross-country, high-pressure pipelines. Operators can accurately predict and optimize flow rates and pressures by simulating liquid pipeline hydraulics and batch operations. Complex optimization algorithms take into account multiple factors, including pipe size, temperature, length of the pipeline, frequency of pumping stations, and the cost of electricity and drag-reducing agents (DRA) to provide a complete solution.
