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.

This article appeared in the 2018 American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Conference Daily (Oct 2018) that highlighted the Operational Planning, Control and Automation Technologies session during which Chevron talked about the closed-loop, real-time coordination of a refinery middle distillate system, the benefits and key takeaways.

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。

This article (published in PTQ Magazine) describes how the on-line coordination and optimisation of refinery process units led to a 10% increase in middle distillate production without investing in process units or equipment.

A major European refiner implemented Aspen Technology’s reformer inferred property package for control and optimization of their catalytic reformer in two of its refineries. Download this article to learn more about the company's methodology of execution and the benefits derived.

Leaders often wonder, where do we apply digital technologies to the challenges in our business? How can we chart our success? This uncertainty is understandable considering the technology’s complexity and rapid evolution, but understanding and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly critical to competitiveness in the chemical industry.

Find out how a new generation of technologies is creating opportunities within the process industries that were previously impossible.

The goal of APC implementation in the chemicals industry is simple: to maximize margins while meeting customer expectations. Aspen DMC3 delivers faster time-to-benefits resulting in a much higher return on investment. Learn how APC is key to achieving operational excellence.

In depth look at the Smart Tune engine- The new Sequential Multi-Objective Optimization (SMO) technology is a step change from traditional APC optimizers. The new algorithm eliminates any LP cost tuning by enabling users to explicitly specify the APC controllers’ objectives.
