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.

Urea fertilizer plays a crucial role in maintaining global food security, and its utilization is growing globally. The production of urea is often energy intensive and can be difficult to simulate due to the complex nature of physical properties.

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.

Maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing CO2 emissions remain critical goals for the process industries. Now you can leverage pinch technology from within the process simulation environment to identify opportunities to significantly lower energy use and reduce your carbon footprint.
