How fast can you respond to ever-changing conditions and still maintain safe, efficient operations with a remote workforce? As oil & gas, midstream and refining companies look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs, there are digital strategies that can have an immediate, positive impact.

Effective KPIs and KPI hierarchies are one of 6 Keys to Improving Operational Effectiveness. A properly designed hierarchy of KPIs, aligned throughout the layers of the organization, will ensure that performance of lower level KPIs will produce corresponding improvements in the highest level KPIs.

CDU(Crude Distillation Units)는 정유사에서 수익성을 추구하는 가장 중요한 공정입니다. 현재의 VUCA, 즉 변동성이 크고(Volatile), 불확실하며(Uncertain), 복잡하고(Complex), 모호한(Ambiguous) 비즈니스 환경에서 정유사들이 디지털 트윈 기술을 활용하여 현재의 불확실성을 보다 효과적으로 타개하여 민첩하고 신속하게 대응할 수 있도록 돕는 두 가지 기술 영역에 대하여 알아보겠습니다.

The infrastructure supporting manufacturing operations in bulk chemicals has become pretty robust. The plants tend to be well instrumented and monitored. Sure, there are improvements to be made but when you compare the infrastructure prevalent in continuous plants with that of batch plants, you might find a pretty substantial gap.

In this webinar, learn how to reduce energy costs by modeling your entire polymer process plant with Aspen Plus V8.8.

Cuando se está en la fase de desarrollo del proceso el comprender las consecuencias económicas de las decisiones generalmente requiere que un ingeniero de proceso y un estimador pasen las hojas de datos y las condiciones de proceso de un lado a otro. Con Activated Economics puede obtener las aproximaciones económicas inmediatamente mientras construye la configuración de su proceso sin necesidad de cambiar entre distintos programas de software.

Ensuring process safety is important across the entirety of your plant or refinery. Within the process safety workflow, the rating, designing and debottlenecking of flare networks are essential to pressure relief analysis (PRA) projects. The Aspen HYSYS® software suite, including Aspen Flare System Analyzer, Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, and the PSV-sizing tool, provides a kit of process safety tools that enable you to produce the optimal flare system design — with greater ease and efficiency —across the complete plant or refinery.
