25 marquee operators across 21 countries trust VB Engineering with their Discrete Event Simulation engagements.
VB Engineering Discrete Event Simulation from the Dubai partnership entity. Country-native standards overlay. CEng MIE / UAE-licensed signed. Native handover to Wistwin · the sister Industry 4.0 digital twin SaaS.
Discrete event simulation done the way UAE operations leaders expect: validated against real production data, signed by a Chartered Engineer, evidence-grade analysis with clear confidence bounds.
Across the ADNOC asset base, the Jebel Ali industrial zone, and the DEWA-fed industrial corridors of Dubai, a validated discrete-event simulation is what turns a capex proposal from an argument into evidence. The UAE's industrial backbone is ADNOC's onshore and offshore portfolio (Ruwais refining/petrochem · Habshan/Bab gas processing · upstream Abu Dhabi), Jebel Ali's heavy industrial and free-zone manufacturing, and the DEWA / EWEC grid carrying it. Brownfield engineering here lives or dies on conformance to the ADNOC Specifications (SAES) and the bilingual Arabic-English documentation standard that ADNOC operations expect. The UAE industrial backbone was largely built between 1980 and 2010. Today's opportunity is the brownfield retrofit, decarbonisation overlay, and digital-twin handover. ADNOC's Operating Companies are explicit about this in their procurement: brownfield digital engineering is the named requirement.
Process is captured to BPMN 2.0 and ISA-95 conventions. Input data validated to ASTM E2476 / VV&A practice. Output statistics confidence-bounded; no single-run results in the deliverable. Where the operator references ADNOC SAES (Specifications for Engineering Studies) · IEC 60909 (short-circuit) · IEC 61936 (HV installations) · IEC 60079 (hazardous area), the engineering reference layer aligns; the simulation methodology is invariant.
Capex options modelled side-by-side (debottleneck option A versus capacity-expansion option B versus operational-change option C). Each scenario reports throughput, utilisation, queue length, and Service Level confidence with bounds.
Random-failure modelling of the critical equipment fleet with MTBF / MTTR from the operator CMMS. Plant performance under cascading failure scenarios. The deliverable answers "how resilient is this plant" with a defensible number.
Where input data has measurement uncertainty (a recurring reality in UAE brownfield plants), the deliverable includes sensitivity sweeps on the top input drivers so the operator sees which assumptions move the answer the most.
The FlexSim / AnyLogic / Simio model handed over with a run-book the operator's engineering team can use to run their own experiments. Where the operator subscribes to the Wistwin platform, the model integrates with the digital-twin layer directly.
Process flow captured on the live plant, walked with operations, modelled in FlexSim / AnyLogic / Simio. As-Is model validated against 4-6 weeks of historian data so the baseline matches reality before any what-if begins.
Steady-state throughput under base-case conditions, with bottleneck identification at the resource level. Where the bottleneck is constraint-stacked (two resources alternating as the constraint), the model surfaces this with utilisation curves rather than averages.
Three UAE engagements (across ADNOC, DEWA-fed, and Jebel Ali industrial customers) that show the pattern:
a gas-gathering field with 33 kV ring main and 12 satellite skids.
The engagement: SAES-E-001 conformance audit found relay grading drift after expansion; full reset of coordination plus harmonics plus arc flash documentation in bilingual format.
a 1.2 MTPA polyolefins train with 132 kV intake and 11 kV distribution.
The engagement: Insulation coordination review triggered by lightning event on the 132 kV bus; surge arrester rerating and Class C SPD selection across the LV bays.
a heavy steel-fabrication yard with 11 kV DEWA connection and 4 MVA in-plant load.
The engagement: DEWA Distribution Standard compliance audit on the 11 kV breaker arrangement; SLD reconciliation against the original DEWA-approved drawings.
