Meeting Global Demand: Saudi Aramco's Success with Aspen HYSYS® for Catalyst Evaluation
With global demand for propylene on the rise, Saudi Aramco—one of the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies—set out to optimize its Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reactor units to increase propylene production.
To achieve this, the team built a simulation model of their FCC reactor in Aspen HYSYS, enabling them to:
- Accurately evaluate & predict the performance of multiple catalyst options
- Select the optimal catalyst without relying on time-consuming laboratory testing
- Fine-tune process parameters and proactively address operational bottlenecks
