BPT has launched a new unique unit operation for process simulators covering high-fidelity modelling of green hydrogen production with electrolysis. BPT-ECX enables green hydrogen and green ammonia production as well as being highly relevant for electrofuel plants, providing highly accurate steady state and dynamic electrolysis models for de-risking and enhancing design at an early stage as well as safeguarding return-of-investments.

A well-known engineering house has awarded BPT a detailed simulation study to investigate the overpressure protection system at a host facility for a possible tie-in of a new field.

BPT is present at ONS in Stavanger. Good to be back after 4 years. Great with business meetings, interesting presentations, observing a lot of new trends, exploring new technologies and doing networking with existing and new businesses.

Over the last year, Billington Process Technology AS (BPT) has been involved with configuration, enhancement and technology development of a dynamic simulator for a Brayton cycle using supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as the fluid. The sCO2 is used as the energy carrier in a concentrated solar power (CSP) system.

Centrifugal compressors are normally the largest energy consumers in a processing facility. Identifying the optimal solution for the compression units as part of the complete process facility both reduces energy consumption as well as needs for later compressor and driver modifications.

Nordic Electrofuel AS (NEF) and Billington Process Technology AS (BPT) have entered into a collaboration to configure steady state and dynamic simulation models of the complete electro fuel pilot plant (E-fuel 1). The plant is currently under design with planned start-up in 2025 producing synthetic fuels.

Equinor ASA has entered into a Framework Agreement with Billington Process Technology AS (BPT) for delivery of early phase studies and engineering support. The Framework Agreement is for 5 years, with the option for Equinor to extend by up to 2 periods of 2 years.

The summer season has been successful for BPT, resulting in 7 new contracts, supporting various customers worldwide with professional and specialized domain services.

The BPT team is delighted about the major technical safety and operability study awarded from a leading international EPC company for a subsea field tied back to an existing production platform.

Billington Process Technology (BPT) has over the last couple of months been awarded several contracts for detailed studies of onshore and offshore compressor facilities for operators as well as for engineering houses in Europe.

During last quarter of 2021, BPT carried out a detailed simulation study for Equinor’s Bay du Nord field development project (located offshore east-coast Canada). BPT is delighted to receive the following testimonials from Equinor upon completion of the study work:

BPT is pleased to welcome a new team member onboarding today - Mr. Mohammad Shamsuzzoha (short name Shams) in the position as Senior Process Engineer. Shams will be a key contributor in our client engagements as well as supporting product development and enhancement of BPT’s simulation software and workflows.

Linked transient simulators for multiphase production system and processing facility proved to add undisputed value during all field development and operational stages from concept, design and start-up throughout operation and revamp

AFS has been using the BPT-OLX in full compositional mode to precisely track methanol partitioning from wellhead to product in an integrated dynamic simulator (interactive linked HYSYS process flow simulator and OLGA multiphase flow simulator).

We welcome Yovita Hariyanti onboarding the BPT team! In the position as Process Engineer - Digitalization, Yovita will contribute to our customer projects as well as supporting product development and enhancement of BPT’s unique simulator software and digital production twin solutions.

EXT is an Excel add-in for automating simulation runs, extracting simulation results, data post-processing and utilities to accelerate simulation case updates. EXT extracts results from streams, unit operations and utilities. As a post processing example, it provides automated line sizing, rating of process lines and Likelihood of Failure (LoF) calculations using piping specification data.
