Key capabilities of Synergi Pipeline Simulator

  • Conduct parametric studies, modelling pressure waves during valve closures, pump trips, or emergency shutdowns. Determine maximum and minimum pressures your pipeline will experience. Size pumps, compressors and relief systems appropriately. Identify locations where surge protection is needed. Plan and optimise use of DRA.

  • Transform your pipeline model into a realistic training environment. Prepare control room staff for emergencies they've never faced, demonstrate regulatory compliance, and maintain operator qualification (OQ) records.

  • Connects your simulation model to live SCADA data. Detect leaks, track batch positions, look-ahead and predict future conditions, and gives control room operators a hydraulically accurate view of the current pipeline state. 

  • Monitor product movements in real-time for multi-product pipelines. Track pig location and composition changes.

  • Forecast pipeline behavior hours or days ahead. Identify capacity constraints, conduct survival time analysis and contingency planning, and optimize batch scheduling before problems emerge.

SPS Modules: Build the capability you need

Synergi Pipeline Simulator uses a modular architecture. Start with the core simulation engine, then add operational capabilities as your needs evolve. Each module integrates seamlessly, so you're building on a single platform and not stitching together disparate tools.

Statefinder: Real-time pipeline surveillance

A powerful decision support tool that uses proprietary state-estimation technology. Statefinder uses real-time process measurements from SCADA or DCS to recreate a digital twin providing insights that enable you to operate your pipelines safely and economically.Ideal for: 

  • Real-time batch tracking  
  • Pig or scraper tracking 
  • Composition and quality monitoring 
  • Inventory (linepack) analysis & pressure monitoring

Leakfinder: Real-time leak detection software for pipelines

Real-time leak detection, sizing and location. Unique state estimation technology provides optimal performance, even with poor or missing input data. SCADA or telemetry issues often have minimal impact on leak detection performance.What you can do: 

  • Get fast and accurate, real-time leak detection, sizing and location 
  • Identify false leaks using proprietary leak signature analysis and categorisation
  • Define sectionalised model-compensated volume balance reports & alarms 
  • Suppress false alarms using in-built statistical methods

Predictor: anticipate future conditions

Look ahead before problems emergeUse historical patterns and planned operations to forecast pipeline behavior hours or days in advance. Predictor helps you anticipate bottlenecks, plan responses, and optimize scheduling.Ideal for:

  • Identifying capacity constraints before they occur 
  • Determining survival time, automatically and in real-time 
  • Planning maintenance without disrupting commitments 
  • Optimizing batch scheduling 
  • Preparing responses to weather events or demand changes

Trainer: Operator training simulator

Convert your transmission pipeline model into a realistic training simulator. Prepare operators for scenarios they haven't experienced. Demonstrate regulatory compliance. Maintain staff qualification.Ideal for: 

  • New operator training on startup/shutdown procedures 
  • New asset or changing operational scenarios 
  • Emergency response practice (leaks, equipment failures) 
  • Transient event exposure in a safe environment 
  • SCADA interface replication for realistic training 
  • Maintaining training records for regulatory compliance

Scenario Manager

Schedule predictor model simulations from an intuitive browser interface. Import forecast and nomination data, make adjustments to setpoints, and send to the predictor model. Compare the outcomes of different operational scenarios and plot simulation results against real-time data as it becomes available.Ideal for:

  • Validating nominations and operational plans 
  • Planning movement of linepack from supply to demand centers 
  • Testing reactions to changing conditions or equipment outtage 
  • Timely what-if situation analysis in the control room 
  • Comparing the outcomes of different operational decisions

Operational Interface: Modern control room visualization

Web-browser dashboards and SCADA-style visualization bring sophisticated transient simulation directly into your control room.Ideal for:

  • Role-specific dashboards (operators, engineers, management) 
  • Leak detection alert monitoring 
  • Multi-parameter comparison 
  • Alarm response support 
  • Fast updating trend plots for predictive future simulation 
  • Monitoring line conditions and fluid movements with distance plot visualization
