The following example describes the complexity of unit operation models and the changes faced during the design process. There is no project or process that does not need changes at some point. It is also important to prepare a simulation model for a standard process, as it improves the workflow. Once it has been identified how a process behaves, there are no surprises and risks can be minimised. Using a simulation model, the safety of a new process can be improved by focusing on the physical and chemical properties of the process. The role of modelling and skilled modelling engineers is emphasised when competition is fierce вЂ“ when it is necessary to be efficient while at the same time staying on schedule and on budget.ДЄ simulation model can save thousands of tons of material, megawatts of energy and millions of euros in costs and lost income. Another goal is to minimise environmental impact.

The aim of process optimisation is to improve the availability of a plant, the efficiency of investments, and the safety and energy-efficiency of operations. It also helps to control the entire lifecycle of a plant Modelling speeds up the design process in a cost-efficient and safe way. For example, a dynamic model helps to examine the start-up and shutdown stages of a plant and predict behaviour in the case of emergencies or failures. This benefits the plant and the clients directly.ДЄ digital process model can include data about the operations and conditions of a real plant and it can show the impact of planned changes on plant operations in real time. Adding process modelling as part of the digital twin concept will help to achieve more accurate results, optimise processes and keep changes under control at different project stages. In modern design, a plantвЂ™s simulation model is used as the вЂњdigital twinвЂќ of a plant.
