Petroleum and Gas Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Gas Plant Start-Up Inventory Model

This Petroleum and Gas Engineering final year project examines accounting for material accumulation during a fictional process start-up, using an explicitly fictional model or permitted teaching evidence with documented engineering assumptions.

Why choose this project topic?

This topic makes accounting for material accumulation during a fictional process start-up a concrete gas-engineering question with a manageable evidence requirement. Comparing inventory change, balance residual and settling time gives a student a basis for diagnostic figures, calculations and an honest account of how uncertainty changes the interpretation.

How do the stated gas-system assumptions affect inventory change, balance residual and settling time when accounting for material accumulation during a fictional process start-up?

Agree an accessible teaching dataset or transparent fictional case, then choose a bounded parameter range for accounting for material accumulation during a fictional process start-up with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the physical boundaries, source data and assumptions for accounting for material accumulation during a fictional process start-up.
  2. 02Use a non-operational dynamic model, compare inventory assumptions and check conservation as units approach steady state.
  3. 03Compare inventory change, balance residual and settling time and report uncertainty and limits of application.

A suggested research approach

Use a non-operational dynamic model, compare inventory assumptions and check conservation as units approach steady state. Identify synthetic inputs explicitly and verify permission for any published dataset. Check units, conservation and model validity before comparing inventory change, balance residual and settling time; retain conflicting results and distinguish numerical agreement from evidence of real facility performance.

What you will need

  • Fictional process model
  • Synthetic flow ramps
  • Dynamic simulation tools

Keep your project scope clear

This is not a start-up procedure and must not control actual gas equipment.
