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!

Pharma and biotech companies face a pivotal next step in addressing the increased complexity of production while balancing mounting cost pressures with the need to ensure product quality, security of supply and regulatory compliance. Findings from AspenTech® and Longitude’s recent market survey revealed that digital culture and technology adoption provide a competitive edge – but adoption is slow.

Where are you in your digitalization journey? Given recent market volatility, many companies are benefiting from early adoption of digital technologies. Innovations like AI and data analytics improve response times and help keep assets running safely and more cost-effectively. Join industry leaders GSK and Wood as they detail progress with their digital strategies including insight into deployment across multiple sites around the world. Hear about their challenges and successes in bringing extended transparency to operations to improve decision making, adapt quickly to new demands and maximize uptime.

See how engineers can develop and use a refinery-wide process model in Aspen HYSYS to accurately predict the impact of operational improvements on the refinery’s profit.

Today, enterprises are challenged with ensuring quick business transitions to keep up with changing demands in a volatile and uncertain markets.

Operations in the process industries are challenging due to the inherent complexities and lack of insights. Plant digital twin technology helps solve these challenges. Learn how Burns & McDonnell developed and deployed a plant digital twin of a refinery’s FCC unit using rigorous process simulation to:

Crude distillation units (CDUs) are one of the most critical units to a refinery’s profitability. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from renowned expert Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from leading U.S. refiner Phillips 66). Dr. Karpe has over 35-plus years of experience and has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Learn how you can use Aspen HYSYS to improve your CDU operations and bring savings to your refinery.

Refinery reactors are critical units of any refinery, affecting both the quality and yield of products. Kinetic simulation models of reactor units help refineries get the most from these complex processes. Aspen HYSYS offers a complete suite of kinetic models for all major refinery reactor units, which has provided refineries worldwide with benefits worth millions of dollars from operational improvements. Learn how you can leverage the latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS to improve your refinery operations.

Another opportunity to learn from “Dr. Distillation” how refineries can better operate their VDUs, a challenging and critical unit for most plants. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from U.S. refiner Phillips 66) has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Dr. Karpe will share best practices on improving VDU operations with Aspen HYSYS®.
