UniSim® Design Safety

Product Information Note
Your preferred process simulation suite of tools is now tailored to address safety system design
and tight budgets.

The Challenge
Safety system design in industrial plants plays a central role in not just
ensuring a safe process, but also in determining the efficiency of the
operation. Several tools are available to help design, rate, and validate plant
safety systems. Some are used on a daily basis (like steady state process
simulation), while others may be used in selected projects (like flare design),
or can only be used by a subset of skilled engineers (like dynamic simulation).

Although many companies work on the number of projects that justify usage
of this wide range of tools throughout the year, others do not have the same
volume and optimizing investment for tight budgets is a consideration.
