Software
At OILTECH, the production of engineering deliverables is based on the extensive use of software tools that have been chosen to optimize the design, increase productivity and maximize quality.
OILTECH is specifically specialized in some areas of simulation:
– Process flow-sheeting
– Process unit dynamic simulation
– Pipeline simulation (steady and transient conditions)
– CFD
These are the software packages we use:
Operating Systems and Productivity Software
The architecture of the company network is based on MS Windows as well as the general productivity software:
Operating Systems:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2016
- Microsoft Windows 10
Visualization:
- Vmware

Process Flowsheeting
OILTECH engineers are fully conversant with all the most used chemical process simulators and are particularly experienced in the simulation of a large number of gas processing plants (Cryogenic units, Dehydration, Dew Point Control, Sweetening). Thanks to the daily and extensive use of these software packages, we are in position to select the right tool to solve any specific case considering all the particular features of the problem. Most of OILTECH engineers have successfully completed Aspen User Certification Program for both Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus suits.
Some of the below packages are utilized using permanent licences, some using temporary licenses that are procured on project basis.

CFD
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool that can be effectively used in a variety of applications. CFD has become in recent years an established industrial design technique that offers greater levels of detail and rigor than traditional simplified approaches. OILTECH experience is particularly deep in the field of phase separation and flow assurance. OILTECH can use the following software packages:
- ANSYS Fluent
- COMSOL Multiphysics
- Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+
Heat Transfer
The following software packages are adopted for the routine design of S&T Heat Exchangers, Air Coolers and Plate Heat Exchangers:
Heat Transfer:
- HTRI Xchanger Suite
- PRODE Heat Exchanger Design
- AspenTech Aspen EDR (Exchanger Design & Rating)

CAD
OILTECH is not a provider of drafting services. The use of CAD systems is limited to the modification and management of drawings that are received from the clients or are produced by subcontractors.
Drafting:
- Autodesk Autocad
- Bentley MicroStation
- Bluebeam Revu
- Microsoft Visio 2016
Hardware
At OILTECH we are equipped with a robust and flexible ICT hardware infrastructure that has been conceived to facilitate data exchange and remote use of company’s software resources.
Recently OILTECH ICT structure has been furtherly enhanced to face COVID emergency making more efficient the remote connection of the employees that operate from their homes.
OILTECH ICT system is based on hypervisor virtualization. Corporate data exchange and engineering derivable access utilize a hybrid structure based on an intranet portal that uses Microsoft Technologies.
We can operate remotely using encrypted connectivity managed by a hardware firewall that ensures a very high security standard to data transmission.
Our ICT structure encompasses also onsite and offsite back-up in order to have a copy of the complete infrastructure and guarantee business continuity under any circumstance.
The use of firewall and VPN for remote access ensures the security of user authentication in compliance with the GDPR “General Data Protection Regulation”.
