CMPC, the world's third largest pulp producer and a 105-year-old company, launched a corporate APC program in 2023 to address lack of standardization and heavy reliance on external vendors across its Chilean and Brazilian plants.

Heat exchangers (HX) remain a key asset in the process industries, vital to ensuring energy efficiency and proper functioning of the plant. With the industry’s focus on sustainability and the challenges posed in developing novel sustainability projects, optimal HX design and operation are even more critical.

Watch experts from Carbon Circle, an EPC specialist in carbon removal and energy transition solutions, and hear how they are improving the economics, execution and scale-up of their projects—including energy-from-waste (EfW) with integrated CCS.

Designing a distillation column requires balancing thermodynamics, hydraulics, internals, energy use and cost—often with limited information early in a project. Decisions made at this stage play a critical role in shaping capital investment, efficiency and long-term operability.

Safety is a top priority for every process industry operator worldwide. Yet, many engineers still face challenges developing effective safety system designs. Working with multiple disconnected tools often makes it difficult to analyze all scenarios and address design risks, especially when manual data entry introduces errors.
