LIQT is an advanced, interactive, simulation software product that can be used to perform transient analysis of closed conduit liquid piping networks of any complexity. It models liquid piping systems composed of pipelines, pumps, valves, reservoirs, accumulators, surge devices, and other typical pipeline hardware.
The LIQT solution helps you to manage the condition of underground infrastructure assets, improve pipeline system design, conduct operations and optimisation studies, increase system capacity, test procedure changes and simulate incidents, complete network surge analyses and simulate the physical profile of your pipeline network
Analysis provided by LIQT gives the information needed to make accurate decisions concerning materials, cost, operating procedures and construction alternatives all resulting in decisions which will help insure the reliable service of the water system.
Typical applications of LIQT include:
- Analysing normal or emergency pump start-up and shutdown procedures
- Analysing the effect of a sudden pump power outage
- Modelling various turbine operations such as system start up or load rejection
- Modelling effects of valve operation
- Designing surge management systems
- Optimising system dynamic controllers
- Assessing the effectiveness of pipeline hardware such as air inlet/air relief valves, accumulators, surge tanks or relief valves
- Developing realistic system pressure envelopes
- Determining probable causes of system failure during upset conditions
- Training operators by simulating real system response
