A Versatile and Powerful Simulator for Design, Advanced Control and Expert Systems

Show full item recordAbstract
The usefulness of models of plant utility
systems largely depends on the capabilities of the
process system simulator which uses them.
SACDA has been engaged in a multi-year
development of a versatile and powerful steady-state
simulator which has been satisfactorily
applied to both on-line and off-line applications
for plant utility and other process systems.
Designated as MASSBAL MK II, the simulator has
a unique architecture, menu and/or graphic driven
user-friendly inputs and outputs, and checking
facilities. It also provides for data
reconciliation and an advanced optimizer.
The program is already widely used for design,
and more recently for on-line advanced control of a
large plant utility system.
It is suitable for testing DCS and expert
systems as well as being integrated into those
systems as their "calculation engine".
