An Introduction to Optimize IT Active Flowline Control
Optimize
IT
Active Flowline Control is a facility for control and stabilization of multiphase flow in gathering systems, risers and flowlines. It is the only active control solution for elimination of terrain-induced slugs available in the market. The Optimize
IT
Active Flowline Control prevents flow- and pressure surges and smoothes the flow without increasing line back-pressure.
Unique Model-based Control Solution
The Optimize
IT
Active Flowline Control is a model-based feedback control solution for stabilization of terrain induced slug flow in multiphase flowlines. By removing slug flow, severe process facility upsets are avoided. Thus, process regularity is improved. Installing the Optimize
IT
Active Flowline Control is orders of magnitude less expensive than installing slug catchers. The Optimize
IT
Active Flowline Control is extensively field-tested and confirmed fit-for-purpose. The tests validated the flowline stabilization action with the result of increased production. An extensive simulation program confirms the performance of the solution over a wide range of flowline conditions.
Active Flowline Control:
Main controller functionality and elements:
Dynamic feedback control: The feedback controller ensures stable operation of the flowline.
Slug signature: The detection software is used to monitor the performance of the dynamic feedback controller.
Simulations: Optimize

Active Flowline Control Simulations
The concept drawing shows structure of the slug controller in the most general form, where it utilizes pressure and temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the flowline to adjust the flowline choke valve.
