Transient Analysis
Following the early steady state work to identify the optimum design of a subsea system, it is common to complete transient analysis on the selected system to identify the system operability with regard to:

› Slugging Potential
› Turndown / Ramp-up studies
› Liquids Management
› System Start-up and Re-Start
› Pipeline Shutdown and Cooldown
› System Blowdown
› Transient Hydrate Management
› Chemical Requirements
› System Safeguarding Requirements.

Xodus has a team of engineers capable of completing the above analysis for the most challenging subsea developments planned today.

All of the areas outlined above have key interfaces with the host facility or terminal. Xodus engineers are trained to have a good understanding of the impact of transient analysis on the topsides infrastructure and recognize the limits that may have to be imposed on the analysis by existing platform or terminal equipment. Good liaison with the client is encouraged to ensure that interface issues are dealt with promptly to the satisfaction of all parties.
