Whether particles are being formed, reduced in size, enlarged, participating in reactions, or just being separated from a fluid stream, ignoring or poorly modeling the solids processing steps may lead to lost opportunities, including cost reductions and quality improvements. The main challenges that arise when optimizing or troubleshooting a solids process include inefficient designs due to separate modeling of fluids and solids sections, overdesign of equipment, high-energy demands, reduced yields and quality variability. Modeling the solids section of a process is important for many common processes including specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, metals and mining, pharmaceuticals, biofuels and more. This paper describes the approach for incorporating granular solids and the corresponding solids processing steps when modeling processes.

Whether it’s a pilot plant or a complex petrochemical plant, these facilities rarely run like a well-oiled machine. There are always unknown variable dependencies that are difficult to understand, and there’s substantial room for improvement. In many situations, optimization is not the focus for plants because there are issues with reliability and safety that take precedence. Does this sound familiar? The ability to simplify job tasks and boost efficiency will greatly enhance plant performance but also, make your job easier

In this white paper, plant managers, engineers and supervisors can learn the different ways simulations models can be used throughout the lifecycle of their plant. It focuses on seven areas you can use process simulation software (like Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS) for troubleshooting, process monitoring, and real time performance monitoring or real time optimization (RTO).

There is a challenge for many refinery and chemical companies to impove the analysis proess and raise performance. The inside story of operational intelligence lies in rich thin visualization and analytics capabilities that improve production execution, enabling process manufacturers to quickly identify and resolve operational issues.

在全球范围内，各领先组织正在接纳并实施先进的数字化技术。数字化转型之旅将改变资产密集型行业（尤其是能源和化工企业）的性质。在这种情况下，数字孪生（实物资产及其操作行为的虚拟副本）将发挥关键作用。对于今天我们创建的数字孪生，一个关键概念是人工智能在提供虚拟数据相关见解和建议方面的作用。

世界中で、主要な組織が高度なデジタル技術を採用および実装しています。デジタルトランスフォーメーションの旅は、資産集約型産業、特にエネルギーおよび化学薬品ビジネスの性質を変えるでしょう。こうした状況下では、デジタルツイン（物理的な資産の仮想化されたコピーとその運用上の動作）が重要な役割を果たします。今日アスペンテックが描くデジタルツインの重要なコンセプトは、仮想データに対して洞察とアドバイスを提供するAIの力です。本ホワイトペーパーでは、これからのデジタルツイン戦略で重要になる鍵をご覧いただけます。

Ron Beck speaks to the power of a model based estimating system providing insight to its attributes like reusable templates and saleable features. How does ACCE differ from my proprietary Excel-based spreadsheets?

Learn how Aspen DMC3 enables you to shape the economics of APC solutions to meet business objectives and modify the behavior of the controller to fit the needs of any phase of the lifecycle.

Making big capital project management decisions shouldn’t be left to subjective perceptions or over-simplified analysis. Decision-makers need quantifiable, trustworthy answers to make the most profitable decisions possible. Aspen Fidelis Reliability is a robust RAM analysis tool that can handle the real-world challenges of today's process industries. In this paper, learn how Fidelis enables you to maximize the economics of business decisions and accurately predict future asset performance of the whole system.

Across the globe, leading organizations are embracing and implementing advanced digital technologies and the industrial metaverse. This industrial digital transformation journey will change the nature of asset intensive industries, particularly the energy and chemicals businesses. In that context, digital twins — virtualized copies of physical assets and their operating behaviors — will play key roles.
