Used for fire water, cooling water type networks. Used for slug analysis / surge analysis in pipelines.

Esp for well modeling, nodal analysis, artificial lift optimization, pipeline and process facilities modeling and field planning

Steady State Transient analysis Gas Liquid Multiphase Price (+ Optional AMC) Ease of use

SCIL needs to pay Rs 5 lakh to buy the Network license.

Add-on to existing Hysys. Besides its other capabilities, it can predict slug size depending on flow regime and for pigging. Pipesys cannot estimate terrain induced slugging as, you need a dynamic multiphase pipeline simulator for this. Can handle only compositional Oil

Can handle Black Can handle Black oil, just like oil, just like Pipesim Pipesim
