if you wish to collect comments about software good sources are Cheresources, Eng-tips usenet etc. archives, probably you'll find application examples, suggestions etc. about almost all the problems related with oil and gas plants design.

If you need a list of process simulators to see what the market offers I would start from wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia....cess_simulators

Do not forget that process simulators are just tools, if the user doesn't know the matter there is a high risk to get unconsistent results...

In addition we have these softwares:

- Pipephase
- AFT Arrow.
- AFT Fathom.
- SIMONE.
- Phast (Risk assessment of pipelines and plants).
- Flarenet.....etc.
