Modeling Pump Transients With Reverse Flow

See how Sasol used Impulse for transient hydraulic modeling to evaluate pump-trip scenarios, valve performance, and system reliability in a large industrial cooling-water network.

What the case study covers:

    • Developing and calibrating a detailed transient hydraulic model using Datacor Impulse.
    • Analyzing pump trips, reverse flow, reverse rotation, and non-return valve behavior across multiple operating scenarios.
    • Evaluating the impact of different valve-closing times on hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical system performance.
    • Assessing surge-tower response, pump restart conditions, and overall cooling-water-system reliability.
