Fermentation modeling is essential for advancing sustainability initiatives such as biomass feedstocks and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF); however, accurately simulating biological processes and scaling production can be complex.

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.

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.

The latest features in Aspen GDOT™ V15 offer a new flexible online optimization approach that caters to a wide range of applications, including broad production envelopes, high-value reactors and small-scale column applications.

As energy transition efforts accelerate, advanced subsurface monitoring technologies are critical to maximize hydrocarbon recovery and ensure safe, long-term carbon storage.

Optimizing production for industries with complex processes requires precise models. However, models can be challenging to create when processes include custom equipment, not available in standard model libraries.

Process engineers working with specialty chemicals often face the challenge of optimizing production systems—consisting of both batch and continuous processes. However, modeling these mixed processes can be complex and time-consuming.
