Case Study: Pilot Chemical Company automates network sizing for multiple operating scenarios with Datacor's AFT ANS module

Pilot Chemical Company sizes systems for multiple operating scenarios with Datacor in one ANS run

Pilot Chemical Company utilized Datacor's AFT Fathom software with its Automated Network Sizing (ANS) module to address the challenge of designing a hydraulic system that needed to perform reliably across multiple, diverse operating scenarios. This requirement is common for systems that must handle varying conditions, such as different vessel pressures or seasonal demand changes.

The solution implemented by Datacor involved using the Dependent Design Cases (DDC) feature within the ANS module. This allowed Pilot Chemical Company to concurrently size a single system for all its specified operating conditions, ensuring all design requirements were met across every scenario. The result was a properly and automatically sized network that was optimized for cost and performance while guaranteeing operational reliability in all anticipated situations.
