Asset Integrity Using SimulationX for Non-Intrusive Brownfield System Evaluation

This article describes how, using modern tools such as SimulationX®, models of control systems can be used to perform evaluations of a brownfield site in order to predict potential system failures before they occur.

The fundamental objective in performing an evaluation of the production control system with a simulation tool is to ensure that the behaviour of the integrated system will meet the acceptance criteria as stated in the relevant ISO documents, as well as those specified by the client. When combined with extensive system knowledge, SimulationX® can be used to conduct a system trend analysis on an operational 'Brown Field' development identifying system performance degradation and consequently reducing the risk of production loss. These losses may also represent unacceptable levels of risk to people and the environment.
