Energy and utility systems

Benefits

Our suite of energy and utility software tools includes:

• Visual MESA Energy Management (VM-EMS), consisting of Visual MESA Energy Real-Time Optimizer (VM-ERTO) and Visual MESA Energy Monitor (VM-EM), for energy and emissions planning, monitoring and optimization
• Petro-SIM, for the design and engineering of utility systems
• HX Monitor, for heat exchanger monitoring
• SuperTarget, an advanced pinch analysis tool, for optimizing the design and revamp of heat exchanger systems

Our energy and utility software tools will allow you to:

• Reduce energy and capital costs at the design stage:
  • Make utility configuration decisions, size equipment and build-in high efficiency, taking into account site specific economics and energy costs to maximize returns
  • Simulate and design standalone utility systems, or seamlessly integrate them into process models
  • Minimize energy costs through effective design of heat exchanger networks


• Develop energy improvement revamps easily and accurately:
  • Identify improvement opportunities, evaluate benefits and predict future scenarios


• Measure and manage energy costs in day-to-day operations:
  • Automatically acquire, reconcile, interpret and capture real-time energy performance data
  • Improve operational performance management with online monitoring, optimizing heat exchanger cleaning cycles and equipment maintenance planning
  • Use proprietary benchmark energy KPIs to ensure the optimum synergy of process and energy performance


• Achieve real-time optimization of energy costs:
  • Forecast across multiple time periods to determine fuel import and power export commitments, enabling you to optimize major utility equipment running strategies
  • Optimize plant performance in real-time, responding to fluctuations in power grid pricing and demand
  • Automate prescriptive analytics to optimize energy costs within given constraints
