Another opportunity to learn from “Dr. Distillation” how refineries can better operate their VDUs, a challenging and critical unit for most plants. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from U.S. refiner Phillips 66) has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Dr. Karpe will share best practices on improving VDU operations with Aspen HYSYS®.

Process manufacturers are besieged with all kinds of data. The increasing volume and detail of information captured by enterprises is a strong indication that leaders in every sector must deal with the implications of big data. Modern analytics in aspenONE Process Explorer deliver new capabilities that enable deeper and richer analyses and provide speedy access to the information needed to keep production running smoothly.

It’s critical to make sure your refinery planning models are in sync with changes in operating conditions or catalysts. However, the extensive effort required to update planning models means that many refineries are dependent on external consultants — thereby hindering regular updates and leading to lost profits. The latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS® give users a streamlined workflow, so refineries can update their Aspen PIMS™ planning models in-house, reduce the time and effort required for updates, and much more. Learn how you can leverage Aspen HYSYS® to boost profits through greater planning model accuracy!
