VISUAL FLOW

VISUAL FLOW® is a fluid flow simulator that aids engineers in the design, modeling and regulatory documentation of oil & gas flare networks.

VISUAL FLOW provides fast, reliable, and accurate solutions for applications that range from line sizing and vessel depressurization to the rating of complex relief systems. Process and safety engineers can design, rate, and analyze processes with this rigorous, steady state simulator.

Applications include relief networks, systems containing any configuration of multiple flares, relief valves, knock-out drums, and loops.

Key Benefits

Safer Designs and Operation
Faster Regulatory Documents, Compliance
More Efficient Flare Network Modeling
Reduced Capital Cost
Reduced Operating Cost
5-20% Typical Savings

Key Capabilities

VISUAL FLOW handles the toughest single and multiphase fluid-flow systems by using point-by-point thermodynamics and pressure drop calculations
VISUAL FLOW uses a Microsoft Windows interface with a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) that enables users to open and run multiple simulations simultaneously
VISUAL FLOW helps streamline the documentation of flare relief systems, including full regulatory documentation of the network structure, control systems and strategy, and maximum relief rate capacities
VISUAL FLOW is integrated with DNV Software’s explosion and flame modeling application, PHASTFX, allowing more complete and accurate flare modeling
VISUAL FLOW is also integrated with the SIM4ME Portal allowing VISUAL FLOW simulations to be controlled and modified from an Excel workbook interface
