In our latest AI series blog, we look at how Industrial AI is shaping digitalization strategies and explore use cases that are propelling AI adoption in the industrial sector.

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。

Distillation columns are troublesome units, representing one of the biggest operational challenges in the processing industry — primarily because internal conditions are dynamic and there is limited operational insight into their behavior. Offline and online advanced process simulation offers engineers and operators powerful process engineering capabilities for column analysis. With operations-oriented columns troubleshooting, you can gain insights into key processes and enable faster problem-solving.

As market conditions remain unpredictable, refineries turn to digital strategies to improve agility and stay competitive. Digital twin technology provides valuable insight into operations, enabling companies to run safely, effectively and with maximum margins.

Crude Distillation Units (CDU) are one of the most critical units impacting a refinery’s profit margin. Refiners have found it challenging to optimize their CDU operations as the complexity of the unit has kept them from simulating the entire unit in one piece. However, with new ‘equation-oriented’ technology in Aspen HYSYS, refineries can build a robust integrated model of their crude distillation column and pre-heat train network. View this webinar and learn how you can improve your CDU operations today!

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®.
