Manufacturers routinely lose margin due to the gap between what is planned, what is scheduled and what actually happens on the plant floor.

Refineries are facing increasing crude market volatility, tighter margins and greater operational complexity.

This layered application automates crude receipt, tank transfer and CDU feed scheduling—replacing manual workflows with fast, constraint-aware optimization to maximize refining margins.

Natively embedded in Aspen Unified Scheduling, Multi-Blend Optimization (MBO) optimizes blend recipes and executable schedules in a single, real-time environment to maximize refinery margins.

In the race to outperform the competition, refineries and petrochemical plants frequently face production efficiency gaps that can eat into operating margin—and profits. 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.
