In order to meet their design need of maintaining a 25% cost advantage over conventional chemical processes, the engineers at Liquid Light needed a flexible software solution to find key property data (even for non-ideal and electrolyte systems), conduct “what-if” and case analyses, model reaction systems, select solvents, and scale-up quickly and reliably. Leveraging Aspen Plus and Aspen Properties, the members of Liquid Light have been able to make meaningful predictions about system behavior, moving them closer to full scale production.

See how refineries can keep their profit margins high by maintaining their planning models up to date, in the face of changing operating conditions, using capabilities built in Aspen HYSYS.

Learn how to simplify and improve your petroleum refining simulations using multi-unit engineering models. With the availability of a complete suite of refinery reactor models, accurately model all of the refinery reactors in the easy-to-use Aspen HYSYS® Petroleum Refining software.

Safety and regulatory compliance are time-consuming elements of conceptual and basic engineering. With the Chemical Safety Board scrutinizing process safety today, it is more critical than ever to incorporate safety analysis within your process modeling environment. Doing so allows organizations to confidently achieve compliant pressure relief and flare network designs at the lowest cost, and remove bottlenecks during the FEED and pre-FEED stages of capital projects.

In this guide, you will be introduced to the tools in BLOWDOWN that can be used to perform staggered blowdown analysis. You will configure a simple analysis by using the Staggered Analysis tool, as well as a rigorous analysis using the Multi-Vessel Template.

Depressurization is important for every process, but often this work can lead to concerns over cost, time and accuracy. With so much on the line, how can you afford not to use the best safety tools possible? Join us at this free webinar to get a first look at how BLOWDOWN™ Technology, the industry’s proven depressurization technology developed by Dr. Graham Saville and Professor Stephen Richardson of Imperial College London, is now integrated into Aspen HYSYS®.

After the company identified uncommon operating procedures at each of its many refineries — which led to inefficiencies and lower margins — Shell launched “Enterprise First,” an initiative designed to standardize processes and technology across the organization. The key to driving this strategy — and meeting its objectives — is an integrated aspenONE® Supply Chain Management solution that helps Shell optimize refinery production, reduce costs and increase margin.

Distillation columns are troublesome units, representing one of the biggest operational challenges in the processing industry — primarily because internal conditions are dynamic and there is limited operational insight into their behavior. Offline and online advanced process simulation offers engineers and operators powerful process engineering capabilities for column analysis. With operations-oriented columns troubleshooting, you can gain insights into key processes and enable faster problem-solving.

The upstream oil and gas sector has faced a variety of challenges such as unpredictable oil prices, changing patterns of demand and ensuring safe working conditions at remote sites. Accelerated digitalization programs, particularly those that include digital twin technology, can provide agility and resilience to better handle future market uncertainty and lay the foundation for longer term competitive advantage.

Extending one common estimating platform from conceptual engineering through detailed design optimizes CAPEX and minimizes estimating risk. Aspen Capital Cost Estiamtor is an integrated estimation tool from project start to finish that delivers optimized designs at the right cost, with less rewor. Watch now to learn more.
