BPT API 521 Safety Studies

Value proposition

BPT safety studies uses linked transient simulations from the inflow in the production tubing to the relief system in one integrated simulation environment. Our methodology provides 100% compliance with the API 521 standard without any simplifications. Full traceability on component level is obtained.

This service has evolved since 2007 and has proven to provide valuable insight for the operators to maximize the production within the asset integrity limits. This is achieved by linking rigorous multiphase pipeline models with transient process simulations. BPT-PSX provides an exact replication of any API 520 relieving device ensuring "one-to one" between plant and prediction model. The BPT-FSG allows the capacity and relief of the flare and at the flare tip to be accurately predicted.
