Simulation Services
Address the Design, Commissioning and Operation of your Plant without Risks
Optimize processes and make the best decisions without affecting your physical installation through simulation
Tecnatom has offered cutting edge simulation technology for the last 30 years, providing a wide range of products aimed at improving the safety, operation and efficiency of fossil, nuclear, oil & gas, renewables and diverse industrial and highly technological sectors.
We have designed simulators for
- Fossil Fuel
- Oil & Gas
- Renewables
- Industrial and Technological including Rail, Aerospace, Shipping and Chemical (gas stripping, desalination), parabolic trough and tower thermo-solar plants, including molten salt storage systems and hydraulic plants
- Chemical, petrochemical, metallurgic, aerospace, marine, mining
Our services include:
The development of replica facility simulators
also known as full scope simulators, which simulate plant activity (chemical, thermal, hydraulic, electricity and logic processes) and recreate the main control room environment with localized and remote control panels via simulation, stimulation or DCS emulation tools. Replica or full scope simulators are used for operator training in normal or abnormal operation and provide support via plant engineering simulation.
The development of graphic or virtual simulators
and variable scopes to cover the operational, maintenance or engineering needs where the operator interface is entirely virtual.
The development of generic or virtual simulators
for the familiarisation of technology and engineering research.
Simulation support for the monitoring and optimization of the plant’s performance.
The update, upgrade and maintenance
of Tecnatom and third-party simulators.
Simulation support for plant engineering to check any design upgrades or new designs
on the installation by means of using thermohydraulic codes or the dynamic verification of logic changes and plant controls, in addition to the development of models with new operation concepts, integrating them with replica or generic simulators to analyse safety and operational viability.
How do we develop our simulators and simulation services?
Tecnatom has a deep understanding of energy related plants and industrial facilities and processes contributing significantly to their respective simulation. Tecnatom also has vast experience in simulation technology with best-estimate or third-party codes such as RELAP5, TRAC_RT, etc. This enables to more easily update and upgrade simulators developed by or with the tools of third parties.
Our simulators have been entirely developed by Tecnatom with our own simulation tools such as the TEAM_SUITE product which generates codes from a graphic friendly interface, as well as our own monitoring and plant performance optimisation system, SOLCEP, or our rigorous configuration control tool CMS/SICOSIS. Working with the client in the specification and requirement process as well as in the acceptance phase, helps to make our simulators a product of great added value.
All of our simulators are subject to a strict configuration and version control process as well as a strict internal verification and validation process, in accordance with the standards of the industries ensuring the quality of our product. (ANSI-ISA-S77.20.01 standards for fossil and industrial)
Our Added Value
Our extensive experience in electricity plant operation and regulation, process simulation, training and re-training of plant and I&C operators and assistants has made Tecnatom the best solution for the integral development and maintenance of simulators. This includes control rooms and distributed control systems (DCS).
We offer a wide, autonomous and global knowledge of processes, contributing custom-designed simulation solutions and technologies which are adapted to your needs and that meet all regulated standards without losing sight of your perspective and the experience of the users of our products.
We are leaders in simulation for power plant engineering support and consultancy, specifically in terms of plant design modifications, undertaking projects in thermal plants in Spain and various other plants on an international scale.
