Simulation of hydraulic interventions

Every hydraulic intervention,simulated first

THESEUS models flows in pipes and channels and simulates what happens to the network if you close a pipe, change a flow rate or bring an intervention forward. Critical issues for safety and production emerge before you go on site.

Features

Inside THESEUS

The questions before every operation. In a complex hydraulic system every operation has downstream effects that are hard to estimate without a model. THESEUS relies on a simulation algorithm based on universal principles, which adapts to the specifics of every plant, and gathers diagrams, components and documentation in a single platform.

How it works, step by step

From the question "what happens if…" to the intervention plan.

01 · Model

The plant is mapped with diagrams, components and documentation.

02 · Scenario

You set up the intervention: closures, flows, timing.

03 · Simulate

THESEUS calculates the flows and shows the effects on the network.

04 · Compare

Alternative configurations and critical issues are assessed.

05 · Report

The operation report guides the work on site.

Why choose THESEUS

01What is THESEUS?

THESEUS is the IDRO Suite software for simulating hydraulic interventions: it models flows in pipes and channels and assesses the impact of an intervention before it is carried out.

02Which scenarios can be simulated?

Pipe closures, flow changes, bringing an intervention forward or postponing it and, in general, different network configurations, comparing their effects on safety and production.

03What does the simulation report contain?

The reference hydraulic diagram, the final state of the simulated plant model and the detailed list of actions needed to isolate the plant section safely.

04Can it be used on different plants?

Yes. The algorithm is based on universal principles and adapts to the specifics of every plant; user profiles give targeted access to plants and features.
