Kaneka Corporation is a Japanese chemicals manufacturer, specializing in the production of polymers and resins. Recently, higher market demand for functional resin was resulting in significantly greater demand for one of Kaneka’s high-value products. The company needed to increase production quickly to meet the rising demand, and it wanted to do so without making any significant additional capital investment.

Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, Japan’s largest chemical company, faced quality problems in the company's polymer manufacturing processes that could not be detected on time, resulting in impacts to production. Using Aspen Hybrid Models with Aspen Plus®, Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation had the opportunity to create a robust and performant model that accurately predicted quality issues and supported preventive actions.

Novozymes A/S, a global biotechnology company based in Denmark, was looking to support the development and optimization of biodiesel processes due to increasing biodiesel market demand, rising materials costs and more stringent industry regulations. Novozymes saw potential in combining AspenTech technology with its own unique design and processing expertise to more quickly identify new opportunities to increase profitability of biodiesel production processes.

SABIC is a leading multinational manufacturing company, specializing in the manufacture of petrochemicals, chemicals, industrial polymers, fertilizers and metals. Energy efficiency is a key focus area for SABIC. To close the gap towards achieving 2025 goals, SABIC identified the need to quantify energy losses and execute actions to optimize operations while addressing daily plant challenges.

Learn how a large producer of synthetic rubber used Aspen ProMV to identify the cause of ongoing quality issues with its batch products. Download the case study to read how Aspen ProMV uncovered the variables that correlated most with batch quality, resolving production problems faster to limit losses.

One of the world's largest chemical, plastic and refining companies used Aspen ProMV to understand and resolve production problems caused by an ongoing quench oil high-viscosity issue. In this case study, learn how Aspen ProMV enabled the company to highlight the top process variables highly correlated with viscosity issues, and quickly guided process engineers to the underlying issue to limit losses.

This petrochemical company launched an Aspen ProMV™ pilot project to investigate light component losses that go to the bottom of a fractionation column and pressurize the downstream column. Using Aspen ProMV for continuous processes, a model was developed, and bad actors that are highly correlated to the light product loss were identified. Aspen ProMV’s optimization tool was also utilized to provide better operating conditions to reduce losses.

Non-linear Advanced Process Control (APC) improved SCG’s product stability and quality, minimized variations, and enabled enhanced transition strategies.
