A Datacor Case Study
Ingenero Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a provider of specialized engineering services, was challenged by a petrochemical cooling water system that was limiting plant capacity and reducing profitability. Their engineers used Fathom, a pipe flow modeling software from vendor Datacor, to perform a hydraulic analysis and identify the network's shortcomings.
Using Datacor's Fathom software, the team calibrated their model with field data, which revealed a miscalibrated flowmeter and several consumers with excessive pressure drops. Through sensitivity analysis in Fathom, they determined that operating four pumps instead of five would meet demand while reducing power consumption. This solution, enabled by vendor Datacor, recovered lost production capacity for the customer and lowered operating costs, thereby increasing the plant's overall profitability.
