Refiners and chemical manufacturers continue to struggle with margin leakage due to gaps between planning and operations. Innovations in modelling and optimization technology now enable you to coordinate and optimize multiple process units in real time to ensure the best site-wide economic benefits—and do it on a consistent, minute-by-minute basis.

John Campbell (AspenTech) shares how to use seed models (less than perfect models based on historical data or similar processes) to shorten the time before a controller is turned on to accrue benefits earlier and potentially develop multiple controllers at once (in parallel).

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:

Learn how Strategic Estimating Systems leverages past projects when using Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) to significantly increase the accuracy of estimates. See how you can easily calibrate and index ACCE to: incorporate historical data using best practices, improve the approach to estimating projects in different regions and increase efficiency while developing a consistent workflow.

Reprocessing off-spec product is a common, yet costly practice for companies as it uses up materials and increases production time. With first-time, on-spec quality at an unacceptably low level, Petrocuyo, an Argentinian polypropylene producer, turned to the multivariate analytics of Aspen ProMV™ to solve this issue.

このセッションは全４回（固体基礎、晶析、ろ過、乾燥）からなるバッチ固体プロセス全体最適化の第１回目のセッションです。このセッションではAspen Plusで固体を取り扱うための基本的な設定や、固体特有の物性である粒径分布や含水率の設定方法について紹介します。 Aspen Plusの固体モデルにより、プロセス最適化の範囲を従来の気液連続プロセスから固体バッチプロセスまで拡大することができ、固体プロセスを含むプロセス全体の最適化が可能となります。

In today’s environment, Energy and Chemicals industrial organizations need to operate with an agile supply chain, and close the gap between planning and operations will enable them to stay ahead. Industry-leading Advanced Process Control (APC) technology will lay a strong foundation for digitalization and enable enterprises to achieve new levels of agility and production excellence.

YPFB plays a vital role in the exportation of gas in South America. When production started to decline in two of Bolivia’s major natural gas fields, YPFB needed to overcome this challenge and still meet contractual obligations.

Is unplanned downtime – resulting from equipment failures and process disruptions – hurting your production? Are you looking to reduce maintenance costs and improve overall asset longevity?
