Dynamic Modeling for Process Troubleshooting

This course focuses on building dynamic simulation models for analyzing and troubleshooting transient process conditions. Participants will use tools like Aspen Dynamics or UniSim Design to study control behavior, startups, shutdowns, and disturbances.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Build dynamic models from steady-state flowsheets.
• Simulate process transients including startups and shutdowns.
• Analyze control loop behavior and interactions.
• Identify bottlenecks and troubleshoot dynamic issues.
• Use dynamic modeling for operator training and predictive analysis.

1. Transitioning from Steady-State to Dynamic Models
2. Controllers, Loops, and Instrumentation Setup
3. Simulating Transient Operations and Failures
4. Control Strategy Testing and Tuning
5. Applications for Troubleshooting and Training

Process engineers, control engineers, and operators involved in process troubleshooting and control strategy development.

Simulation case studies, loop tuning labs, operator scenario modeling, and dynamic diagnostics.

Participants will develop skills in dynamic modeling for real-time troubleshooting, control improvement, and operational readiness.
