What is a digital twin? Why is it an essential building block for your organization’s initiatives, such as sustainability, operational excellence and improved margins? Leading energy and chemical companies are leveraging digital twin technology to model the behavior and performance of assets to improve their bottom line. In this on-demand webinar AspenTech’s Market Strategy Director and industry expert Ron Beck shares how digital twin technology provides the following benefits:

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

Today, it’s more important than ever to perform rigorous optioneering to find the best solutions for improving process efficiency and asset flexibility. In this webinar, AspenTech’s experts will show how the new Aspen Multi-Case™ dramatically accelerates the evaluation of design and operating scenarios, provides visual tools for selecting the best alternatives and improves overall agility and collaboration across the engineering team.

A small operational issue in dehydration, acid gas treating, or sulfur recovery units can turn into a loss of production—or worse, a frustrating and costly shutdown. Keep on top of operations and prevent issues in design with insight from process simulation designed for accuracy and full gas plant integration. Learn how the latest technology in Aspen HYSYS can empower you to troubleshoot and prevent issues in dehydration units, make confident decisions around acid gas units with predictive modeling and much more!

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?

Leveraging process modeling tools is vital for accelerating the journey to market for new products, or for optimizing the margins of existing processes. Often, a single tool does not have the capabilities to model entire specialty and fine chemicals processes due to their complexities (batch or mixed batch/continuous, integrated fluid and solid sections, complex reactive systems). As a result, specialty and fine chemicals companies often rely almost exclusively on expensive experimentation and plant trials when innovating their products and processes. View this webinar to learn from AspenTech experts about best practices for end-to-end batch modeling in Aspen Plus.

Aspen HYSYS has been updated and improved with additional features over the last few years. From concurrent engineering to integrated gas plant modeling and refinery-wide modeling to streamlined process safety analysis, experience the latest innovations in chemical process simulation. This checklist shows the addition of features and incremental improvements by version.

As all companies have been challenged by the current economic and health crisis, the successful recovery requires a new view toward future development and growth with metrics that consider broad and more long-term goals. Featured in Hydrocarbon Processing, AspenTech’s Paige Morse shares considerations for building future resiliency that center around digitalization.

The 2015 Paris Agreement and other international climate change accords have helped raise global awareness of the need for countries to take urgent action to combat climate change. As companies continue to focus on sustainability, a common theme is taking shape around the role of digitalization as a key enabler. In fact, a recent ARC Advisory Group survey revealed that 75% of respondents rated digital transformation as highly important for achieving sustainability goals.

2015年《巴黎协定》和其他国际气候变化协定有助于提高全球对各国需要采取紧急行动应对气候变化的认识。随着企业继续关注可持续性，围绕数字化作为关键推动因素的作用，一个共同的主题正在形成。事实上，ARC咨询集团最近的一项调查显示，75%的受访者认为数字化转型对于实现可持续发展目标非常重要。
