aspenONE Advanced Process Control (APC) V10 contains new functionality that keeps models accurate across the entire operating range. Additionally, Smart Tune has been enhanced to provide more flexibility, and improvements were made in Aspen DMC3 Builder™ to further simplify project workflow.

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.

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®.

The Dow Chemical Company has been leveraging Aspen Plant SchedulerTM to improve customer service and maximize asset utilization for over 20 years. Dow’s internal center of excellence has found Aspen Plant Scheduler to be well suited to address the complex schedule requirements of many of its manufacturing sites. In this presentation, Dow will review how Aspen Plant Scheduler is enabling it to make better scheduling decisions for both its Coatings and Polyurethanes Businesses, optimizing raw material, production and loading rack scheduling against complex constraints and varying demand. Dow has deployed Aspen Plant Scheduler to over 50 plants and has plans to for additional global rollouts. Come hear how Dow Chemical leverages Aspen Plant Scheduler to improve its scheduling capability in support of changing market and customer expectations.

BLOWDOWN Technology, developed by Dr. Graham Saville and Professor Stephen Richardson of Imperial College London, is now available in Aspen HYSYS, creating the optimal tool for completing depressurization projects. Join technical experts from AspenTech and BLOWDOWN Technology consultants to discover how this technology can ensure the accurate design of depressurization systems that’s vital for safe operations.

Agile has traditionally been used for software product development, however, it can also be applied as a key enabler for supply chain transformation. Hexion, a global specialty chemical company, has applied Agile to improve supply chain processes, driven by Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE), across 45 global production sites.

プロセス産業においてもデジタルツインの活用に取り組む企業が増えています。デジタルツイン構築のためには、現実プラントでの変化をリアルタイムで精度よくシミュレーションできることが重要になります。このセッションでは、現実プラントとシミュレーションの挙動をリアルタイムで一致させるためにAspen PlusのEO (Equation-oriented)モデリングがどのように役立つのかをご紹介いたします。

In this technical webinar, users can learn how to deploy their Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS models in a Microsoft Excel. This interface enables those not familiar with the simulation software to gain value by using these models that have been built directly from a spreadsheet.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused acute disruptions the world over. The energy sector, in particular, has been severely impacted raising questions like:
