LG Chem increases capacity by 15% and saves energy through heat integration using Aspen Plus®, Aspen Energy Analyzer™ and Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating™.

Novozymes A/S, a global biotechnology company based in Denmark, was looking to support the development and optimization of biodiesel processes due to increasing biodiesel market demand, rising materials costs and more stringent industry regulations.

This case study details the work done at the Universiti Malaysia Pahang to research oleochemical fractionation to how to make the process more sustainable, reducing process carbon footprint. The case study explores the AspenTech solutions implemented as well as the value created.

A large petrochemical company was seeing incremental loss to flare of more than $1M USD annually. Read how Aspen ProMV was able resolve their issue within 2 days, save $1M per year and prevent future losses.

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.

Reliance, an Indian conglomerate, built an Aspen Plus model in-house for a distillation column revamp with Aspen Plus which resulted in increased production by $2.4M/year. Learn how they saved money by building the simulations themselves and coming up with a cost-effective solution.
