KBC announces update to its modelling software

This update is another example of KBC’s commitment to delivering leading technologies to support industry partners on their digital transformation journey towards sustainable energy savings, emissions reductions, and decarbonisation.

Alessandro Speranza, Product Champion for PVT Technology at KBC, expressed his expectations for the release of Multiflash 7.3 software: "Amongst other things, the new tool, ThermoBuilder, launched with Multiflash 7.3 technology, expands the software's tuning and data regression capabilities to offer engineers a common, accurate, and customisable PVT engine for process and production optimisation, assisting the industry in the journey to net zero". As the industry adapts to deeper automation through the deployment of integrated digital solutions, Multiflash 7.3 technology offers a highly reliable common platform for PVT modelling.

The following is a summary of the key capabilities and features of Multiflash 7.3 modelling software:

• Modelling complex fluids updates give users access to a wider selection of high-accuracy models and equations of state to predict phase behaviour and physical properties of complex and highly non-ideal mixtures. Users can select the most accurate model for their specific applications, from production, processing and LNG, to carbon capture and storage (CCS) or hydrogen production.
• Data regression for engineers seeking to tailor models to proprietary data or specific cases allows users to import PVT or other physical properties and VLE (vapour-liquid equilibrium) data to regress and tune equations of state and properties models. Now, engineers can simplify and improve their workflows by having access to a range of accurate models and tools including PVT tuning, ThermoBuilder, Excel interface, and PRODML import.
• Standard PVT enhancements allow operators to import/export fluid models and guarantee consistency across multiple applications and disciplines, from reservoir to process, with additional support of import/export capabilities for OLGA PH tables, Turbulent Flux, and CMG WinProp.
• Interface expansions make PVT and physical property predictions accessible via desktop or cloud-based applications. Now, engineers can create and automatically execute workflows with field data, analytics, and other modelling tools. In addition to the previously supported interfaces (VB, Excel, Cape-Open, low-level API, and more), this new release includes full Python support and access to the standard Restful API, allowing a seamless integration of Multiflash 7.3 technology with cloud services and web applications.
