products for simulating gas treating and sulphur recovery processes . This suite of software is fully interconnectable to model the entire process from the introduction of sour feeds through to waste discharge to atmosphere and can also connect to other third-party software utilizing COM and CAPE-OPEN to expand the modelling capabilities to the entire operating facility . In OGT | Suite , ProTreat ® simulates gas treating accurately through a strict mass-transfer rate-based modelling approach and SulphurPro ® simulates Sulfur recovery units utilizing a strict kinetic reaction and heat-transfer rate-based modelling approach . As mentioned , our COM and API tools can connect to Excel or other programs depending on client needs . In that way you can use and integrate OGT | Suite into your current software use cases with very little effort .
OGI : Can you talk about your ProTreat software and what it does ?
OGT : ProTreat offers the best-in-class rate-based modelling publicly available for gas treating and post-combustion carbon capture . Rather than relying on simplified shortcut methods , ProTreat uses first principles engineering to calculate mass transfer , heat transfer and reaction rates , along with industry accepted calculation methods to quickly deliver accurate results . For anyone out there with an amine treating unit , physical solvent unit , glycol dehydration unit , acid gas enrichment unit , caustic treating unit , tail gas treating unit , or sour water stripper unit , it can provide the insights engineers and operators need to make better decisions for design and operations . It also includes many proprietary formulated solvents ( such as INEOS GAS / SPEC and DOW UCARSOL ), so you can seamlessly work with your vendor on operational and design issues or changes . Simulation is super accurate , lightning fast , with assured convergence .
OGI : Could you talk about the benefits of SulphurPro ®?
OGT : SulphurPro ® is a standalone tool to model Claus type sulfur recovery units and was created with the same intention as ProTreat ; to accurately model the SRU through first principles rate-based modeling for reaction rates and heat transfer rates . SulphurPro can provide vital insight into reaction furnaces to help gauge ammonia and hydrocarbon / BTEX destruction along with COS and CS2 formation , waste heat boiler operations to monitor valuable high pressure steam production and sulfidation corrosion , tail gas incineration for environmental monitoring , as well as Sulfur converters and hydrogenation reactors to monitor catalyst life / behavior and poisoning . SulphurPro can be fully integrated with ProTreat to model the full process from upstream acid gas removal units to the downstream TGTU through to the stack from the plant .
OGI : What are the main benefits of simulating gas processing and sulphur recovery ?
OGT : The main benefits come from the insights you get from simulation to help understand how the plant behaves given changes in process conditions . This makes plant decisions proactive rather than reactive . ProTreat , SulphurPro , and other software offerings from OGT provide measurable value , whether you are an EPC or capital projects engineer working on design and pricing , a process engineer working on process optimization , or troubleshooting issues at your plant to prevent a shutdown .
OGI : Can you talk about your tailored solutions as it is assumed many situations would require a consultative approach .
OGT : In addition to our suite of software solutions , OGT also provides highlevel consulting services to aid clients in troubleshooting , assessing plant performance and optimizing operations , validating designs , among several other offerings . In addition to this , OGT also offers the ability to build custom models for unique and novel equipment operations , proprietary solvents , and more . We have successfully completed several consulting projects and have implemented several custom models for our clients over the years .
OGI : Thank you for your time .
