Control and stabilization of a multiple boiler plant can be improved by using an advanced process control (APC) approach

The cross-discipline integration of modeling and analysis tools can help select the best design options and ensure the safe and profitable operation of process plants.

Building on the BLOWDOWN technology in Aspen HYSYS, Staggered Analysis is used to complete the design or validation of disposal systems that sequence the discharge of multiple blowdown valves.

A silver bullet for Asset Performance Management 2.0

Scope changes in early feasibility studies cause cost estimators to struggle updating the estimate. Aspentech's Decision Analyzer functionality in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator simplifies this workflow with just a few clicks. Start your 1-day online trial today and take a guided tour to evaluate the economic impact of rescaling plant capacity and modifying the engineering or construction location.

As scheduling has become more sophisticated, maintenance processes have evolved and improved. However, as Michael Saucier, Product Manager at AspenTech discusses, recent studies indicate that most equipment fails on a ‘random’ basis no matter how many assets are inspected. In other words, failures cannot necessarily be correlated to how maintenance was performed.

The upside of BLOWDOWN

Automating the upstream

Aspen HYSYS, with its ability to rigorously simulate refinery wide processes & equipment including distillation columns, reactors, heat exchangers, gas plants and more, enables refiners to quickly and accurately analyze operational feasibility of new crude blends. Start your 1-day online trial today to take a guided tour and test drive of the functionality and workflows that enable refiners to eliminate operational risks in processing economic crudes.
