This presentation will demonstrate how the convergence of several solutions from AVEVA is enabling Dragon LNG and AtkinsRéalis to monitor and optimize the performance of an LNG terminal in Wales. Real-time data from PI flows seamlessly into AVEVA Process Simulation where it is used to calculate a variety of performance metrics. The simulation model is then used to optimize process setpoints and enable greater energy efficiency for the terminal.

Thanks to this native integration, AtkinsRéalis have been able to concentrate on the real engineering challenges of how and when the plant can be optimised. Working closely with the site to ensure the model is as accurate as possible, the solution has the potential to deliver significant savings by providing operators with immediate feedback on the best operating regime to implement. The same platform also provides health information about key plant items, enabling more responsive maintenance. The solution has been tested back across multiple years of site operation, to provide real proof of its savings potential.
