Olefins
Sustainability and performance monitoring for advanced process
control applications
Aspen Watch Performance Monitor for Olefins is part of
AspenTech’s sustainability solution for APC with specific
tailored pricing for larger applications. It provides performance
monitoring with standard and custom KPIs, generates advice to
operators based on expert rules, and enables engineers to monitor
PID control loops. It provides full uncompressed historization and
visualization of all controller-related data on a cycle-to-cycle
basis. Aspen Watch Performance Monitor for Olefins is a
core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE® Advanced Process
Control applications.
