Operations in the process industries are challenging due to the inherent complexities and lack of insights. Plant digital twin technology helps solve these challenges. Learn how Burns & McDonnell developed and deployed a plant digital twin of a refinery’s FCC unit using rigorous process simulation to:

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.

Refinery reactors are critical units of any refinery, affecting both the quality and yield of products. Kinetic simulation models of reactor units help refineries get the most from these complex processes. Aspen HYSYS offers a complete suite of kinetic models for all major refinery reactor units, which has provided refineries worldwide with benefits worth millions of dollars from operational improvements. Learn how you can leverage the latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS to improve your refinery operations.

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®.

Seven ways for energy companies to use digital now to navigate the current period and prepare for future economic recovery.

In the current extreme VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment, chemical producers are learning the importance of operating with insight and agility. At the same time, companies are being tested for the depth of their resilience, and learning how to navigate huge shifts in demand, supply, workforce and economics, and emerge from this crisis in a stronger position.

Did you know that up to 73% of data within an enterprise goes unused? With so many connected devices and processes, it’s critical for companies to more easily capture, view and share this data across functional areas.

Aspen Edge Connect™ collects data from multiple assets, cleansing and pooling it together for analysis with an edge processing device. Data can then be stored securely in the cloud or with an on-premise solution.

Join Frédéric Bastien, VP of AIoT Technology & Product Management, and Adi Pendyala, Senior Director of AIoT Product Marketing, both with AspenTech®, as they explain how the AIoT Hub enables data integration and mobility from sensors, historians and other data sources across the enterprise – from the edge to the cloud - to accelerate the delivery of enterprise-wide visualizations, actionable insights and AI-enabled applications for capital-intensive industries, like yours.
