 Your objectives:

  • Minimisation of operating and maintenance costs
  • Safe gas network design
  • Inspection and checking of components and piping
  • Harmonisation of operating pressure

Our services:

  • Simulation and computation of pipe networks for upgrades and new developments
  • Industrial on-site measuring to corroborate computations and verify boundary conditions
  • Checking and optimisation of turn on and turn off operations
      (e.g. opening and closing of valves, venting)
  • Simulation and optimisation of control procedures
  • Safety concepts for components at risk from hazardous incidents in safety-relevant plant and equipment
