Plano, Texas based Invensys Operations Management has announced that it has reached a multi-year agreement with ConocoPhillips to provide dynamic simulation for the development of their proprietary E-Gas technology.

 

ConocoPhillips is the third-largest integrated energy company in the U.S. The contract calls on Invensys to supply DYNSIM modeling and simulation software to the company. The DYNSIM modeling and simulation software is expected to improve the design, start-up, and operation of new coal gasification plants.

 

Also, Invensys will be a preferred supplier of dynamic simulation software to licensees of ConocoPhillips’ E-Gas technology.

 

“We were very impressed with Invensys’ professionalism and technical capabilities, particularly around gasification, and we look forward to working with them on this important development effort,” said Cliff Keeler, E-Gas product manager at ConocoPhillips.

Tobias, vice president of advanced applications at Invensys Operations Management, said that the company has extensive experience in gasification and has the ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions that address important industrial issues.

 

Gasification is the cleanest, most efficient process for converting coal into a hydrogen-rich alternative fuel, he said, adding “We believe we are uniquely positioned to help ConocoPhillips successfully develop its global E-Gas business.”

 

The company will help ConocoPhillips as they use their E-Gas technology to pursue efficient and environmentally responsible synthesis gas production projects, said Scheele.

 

Invensys Operations Management, a division of Invensys, is a provider of automation and information technology, systems, software solutions, services and consulting to the global manufacturing and infrastructure industries. The company’s offerings are delivered under several prominent industry brands, including Action Instruments, ArchestrA, Avantis, Barber-Colman, Chessell, Continental, Eurotherm, Foxboro, IMServ, InFusion, SimSci-Esscor, Triconex and Wonderware.

 

Also this month, the company announced the commercial availability of its new EYESim virtual reality immersive training solution. With this technology, engineers and operators can see and safely interact with the plant and the processes they control.
