A global pulp and paper manufacturer set out to predict risk and improve capacity using the power of automation.

This petrochemical company launched an Aspen ProMV™ pilot project to investigate light component losses that go to the bottom of a fractionation column and pressurize the downstream column. Using Aspen ProMV for continuous processes, a model was developed, and bad actors that are highly correlated to the light product loss were identified. Aspen ProMV’s optimization tool was also utilized to provide better operating conditions to reduce losses.

Aspen Mtell provided a nine-day advance warning of imminent kiln overheating, allowing the plant to change operating conditions and avoid an operational shutdown. Download this case study to learn more.
