The conditions needed to achieve steady-state operation can be determined by modeling a piping system in PIPE-FLO Professional from Engineered Software. The design engineer, process engineer or plant operator can easily see the steady-state conditions. If not operating at those conditions, it can do a “what if” analysis to troubleshoot the root cause of the problem. It can help enhance communication between work groups, eliminating costly mistakes caused by misunderstanding the system’s steady-state operating requirements. When the plant is running smoothly, hazards are avoided, environmental emissions are under control and production is increased. 800/786-8545; www.eng-software.com.
