It’s critical to make sure your refinery planning models are in sync with changes in operating conditions or catalysts. However, the extensive effort required to update planning models means that many refineries are dependent on external consultants — thereby hindering regular updates and leading to lost profits. The latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS® give users a streamlined workflow, so refineries can update their Aspen PIMS™ planning models in-house, reduce the time and effort required for updates, and much more. Learn how you can leverage Aspen HYSYS® to boost profits through greater planning model accuracy!
