In this presentation, a demonstration on how the optimization of DRA injection can be efficiently and accurately achieved with the use of Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) methodologies is given. With the use of a full fidelity, physics driven system model, in combination with design space optimization tools, the investigation of optimal throughput and DRA injection throughout a pipeline sample is performed. The tools enable the input of flow rates, energy and DRA costs to efficiently perform an accurate calculation of the overall cost per barrel of transport. The results of the investigation can then be deployed so, by using the optimal amount of DRA, any potential waste is drastically reduced which ultimately leads to increased profitability of the pipeline.
