Jardine Technology's MAROS simulator is a tried and tested package with an excellent track record in the oil and gas industry. MAROS predicts system effectiveness in terms of reliability, availability, and productivity. It can be used to quantify the life-cycle cost effectiveness of a system, and conduct optimisation to improve profitability.
The TARO simulator was specifically developed for the modelling of refining and petrochemical plants in which the production (gasoline and derivatives) efficiency is a complex interaction between reliability, blending and yield rules, flow routing, and intermediate storage options.
TRAIL is a life cycle simulator designed specifically for the railway industry and uses discrete event technology to represent the life cycle operation of railway infrastructure systems. TRAIL identifies and quantifies bottlenecks and provides a basis for evaluating design, maintenance and operating changes, with a view to optimising overall business performance.
