Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS)

Pipeline simulation and surge analysis software

Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS)

Transient flow simulation software

Synergi Pipeline Simulator (SPS) is an internationally recognised pipeline simulation and surge analysis software used by pipeline engineers to perform transient flow analysis and steady-state simulation for gas and liquid pipelines. The software provides pipeline design teams with tools for hydraulic studies, operations teams with leak detection and predictive simulation capabilities, and training coordinators with SCADA-based operator training simulators.

Core capabilities

  • Model 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. Conduct parametric studies.

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

  • Forecast pipeline behavior hours or days ahead. Validate feasibility of nominations, identify capacity constraints, conduct survival time analysis and perform contingency planning.

  • 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.

  • Whether you're moving natural gas, crude oil, refined products, CO₂, hydrogen, ammonia, or other fluids through transmission pipelines, one platform handles the hydraulics.

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

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.

Core Simulation Engine

The foundation for all pipeline analysis. Perform steady-state and transient hydraulic analysis for liquid, gas, and dense-phase pipelines.

Frequently asked questions

  • With short-term access through Veracity, you can begin working within hours of purchase. For annual licenses, setup typically takes 1-2 business days depending on your IT environment.

  • Yes. Contact our team to discuss transitioning your license. We'll work with you on timing and any applicable credits.

  • Annual licenses include access to self-paced learning materials through the Knowledge Centre. Instructor-led training (Course SY-45) is available separately and highly recommended for teams building simulation capability.

  • The core engine is optimized for single-phase liquid or gas systems. For multiphase applications, we can discuss specialized solutions or integrations.

  • Yes. The Statefinder module connects to your SCADA system via OPC protocols, allowing real-time or historical data to drive the simulation.

  • The best pipeline simulation software depends on your specific needs. Synergi Pipeline Simulator excels at transient hydraulic analysis, real-time operations support, leak detection and operator training for gas and liquid pipelines.

  • Pipeline simulation software pricing varies based on modules and licensing. Synergi Pipeline Simulator offers short-term access through Veracity for project-based work, annual licenses for ongoing use, and enterprise solutions for multi-site deployments. Contact us for specific pricing.

  • Yes. RTTM-based software like Synergi Pipeline Simulator Leakfinder module analyses actual SCADA measurements to predict hydraulic behavior. Discrepancies may indicate potential leaks, with the software providing location estimates to help field crews respond quickly.
