Shell recently completed a pilot evaluation of Aspen Unified Planning™ (AUP) and Aspen Unified Scheduling™ (AUS) at the Pernis and Moerdijk manufacturing complexes. The objective of the project was to simplify and streamline the deployment of newer software versions to enhance the efficiency and usability of its planning and scheduling tools.

Frequent changes in refinery operating conditions cause planning models to fall out of sync with actual conditions, making them less reliable. At the same time, updating these models is complex, often forcing refineries to turn to expensive third-party consultants.

With ever-changing operating conditions—including different feedstock—today’s process plants are challenged to meet growth and sustainability targets as many critical KPIs cannot be measured on a real-time basis. While process simulation models can be deployed online to provide operators real-time visibility to optimize performance, there is a common misconception in the industry that this approach is complicated and difficult.
