The key element to operates entire pipeline system in safety and within optimum allowable range when delivering the liquid is to managing the risk of flow assurance and ensure the system operates as expected. ALFAsim is a 1D dynamic multiphase flow simulator which resulted as the natural evolution of the simulation technology developed for its preceding well and pipeline flow simulators. It combines a robust mathematical formulation with an advanced numerical strategy to deliver a computationally efficient simulation experience in an intuitive interface. Simulations are set up and launched in a modern workspace environment and the results are plotted in a versatile and intelligent manner by featuring simple, fast, and user-friendly sequential steps for pre- and post-processing.
Several features set ALFAsim apart from other multiphase flow simulators: solids transport, Dedicated Flow Assurance Modules, black-oil correlations, personalized closure equations via plug-in infrastructure and more.
Liquid Management System (Start-up, Turndown, Hold-up, Cool Down .etc.)
Regime Capturing (2P &3P)
Heat Management System (Hydrate & Wax Deposition)
Plug-in Architecture
Well Builder (ESP & GLV)
ALFAsim easily integrates with other software often required in multiphase flow analysis by:
Reading run configuration files from other simulators (.GENKEY)
Importing fluid characterization tables in .tab format generally exported by commercial PVT software
Exporting its results in .csv files or images
Application area:
Oil & Gas
Petrochemical
