Gas processing software redesigned, upgraded
The redesigned and upgraded eSimEvaluator business modeling and optimization software platform is now available.
The company’s suite of applications helps enable midstream natural gas processing businesses to better plan, forecast, and optimize margin positions.
eSimEvaluator 2.0 leverages existing measurement, accounting, supervisory control and data acquisition, and control infrastructure to populate predictive models that answer the question “what actions should be taken to maximize profits on a go–forward basis?” Offering enhancements over prior versions, eSimEvaluator 2.0 helps midstream natural gas processors to more easily and accurately:
- Accrue, forecast, and budget asset performance.
- Manage processing elections, fuel–shrink balances, net residue–liquids position, supersystem interactions, and gross margins on a daily basis.
- Analyze what–if case scenarios to quickly assess the business impact of economic–operational fluctuations.
- Develop pro–forma economics for new gas coming onto the system.
- Run price–volume sensitivity analyses in support of the long term planning and budgeting process to improve financial reporting accuracy.
- Conduct business and operational variance analyses to describe estimates to performance variations.

New line of motors offers aluminum rotors
A new line of NEMA Premium efficient motors comes with aluminum rotors.
These new motors help users meet the 2010 mandatory efficiency requirements of the 2007 Energy Independence & Security Act and provide higher efficiency at a lower cost, the company says.
The new line of motors with aluminum rotors offers the same horsepower and housing as the firm’s copper rotor–based NEMA Premium motors. They also meet the efficiency requirements of many states’ utility rebate programs, such as the Sacramento Utility District Motors and Process Improvement Incentives and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Motor Drives Incentives programs.
This aluminum rotor NEMA motor also represents the company’s expansion of its industrial line of motors, offering users a choice between aluminum and copper rotors.
These new aluminum rotor motors provide what the firm calls another energy efficient choice for customers who do not require the extraordinary efficiency of copper rotors. They are available in general purpose, severe duty, IEEE 841, modified, and custom–built motor configurations.
