Con condiciones operativas en constante cambio —incluyendo diferentes materias primas—, las plantas de proceso actuales enfrentan el desafío de cumplir con objetivos de crecimiento y sostenibilidad, ya que muchos indicadores clave de desempeño (KPIs) no pueden medirse en tiempo real. Aunque los modelos de simulación de procesos pueden desplegarse en línea para brindar a los operadores visibilidad en tiempo real y optimizar el rendimiento, existe una idea errónea común en la industria de que este enfoque es complicado y difícil de implementar.

Faced with new levels of complexity, disruptions and pressure to meet customer demands, chemical supply chains have been tested as never before in recent years. In addition, there is the growing challenge to achieve net-zero targets while maintaining sustainable, profitable operations.

Process simulation, cost estimation and 3D models are crucial to engineering projects, leading to better, more accurate designs. Now imagine seamlessly integrating these disciplines into one concurrent workflow for real-time collaboration that dramatically saves time and reduces costs.

Aspen Unified PIMS™ (AUP) can improve productivity to help close these gaps. View this video to learn how AUP leverages advanced visualization tools, modern workflows and a web-based interface to help you operate more efficiently and improve margins, while reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

Watch this video to discover the new FCC model available in Aspen HYSYS V15. This model facilitates the simulation of both modern high-conversion FCCs (such as those used in petrochemical applications) and traditional FCCs. The new FCC model features enhanced kinetics and naphtha lump definitions, providing detailed insights into lighter olefins and paraffins, as well as improved naphtha recycle loop modeling.

In this article from Automation World, discover how manufacturers can improve their operations now and in the future by building a strong industrial data foundation.

Process safety remains a top priority for companies worldwide, but balancing CAPEX against the need to design safety systems for multiple emergencies can be challenging. Aspen HYSYS Dynamics™ and Aspen Flare System Analyzer™ are proven to accurately model flare systems while reducing CAPEX.

As operational demands increase and margins tighten, it’s no longer enough to rely on traditional predictive maintenance practices. To stay competitive, companies must embrace a more integrated, proactive approach to Asset Performance Management (APM)—one that combines AI/ML, safety-first maintenance practices and smarter investment planning to transform asset management.
