Discrete Simulation

Discrete Simulation analyses capacity, throughput and logistics optimization for storage tanks, loading lines, transportation alternatives and delivery systems.

Stochastic, Monte-Carlo simulation techniques are used to evaluate the effect of different assumptions regarding event timing and frequency on overall plant availability, throughput and operation flexibility.

Discrete Simulation Allows Plant Operators to Identify:

  • Average nameplate capacity over the plant lifecycle
  • Location of bottlenecks
  • Optimum inventory levels
  • Optimum useable storage capacity
  • Working capacity of berth and marine facilities
  • Priorities for critical resources
  • What-ifs: Weather, equipment, material non-availability

The Benefits of Using Discrete Simulation:

  • Optimizes process design, by limiting the over or under design of a systems
  • Lowers capital and operating costs
  • Improves operability and flexibility
  • Lowers emissions
  • Expands troubleshooting capabilities

KBR Uses Discrete Simulation for Studying:

  • Crude and refinery product blending
  • LNG storage and shipping
  • Lubricants blending and packaging
  • Refinery tank farms and product shipment facilities (Marine, pipeline, truck/rail)
