Leading chemical companies across the globe face more competitive pressures with volatile market conditions and a rapidly changing workforce pushing the demand for increased sustainability and profitability. Digital twin software offers new levels of operational excellence through enterprise-wide insights that drive improved business operations.

As the process industries face the challenge of digitally transforming their plants and assets, they need tools and technology to support this change. Integrating the use of process simulation, operator training systems (OTS) and digital twin technology is an essential first step on this journey.

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

Understanding the dynamic behavior of equipment and processes as a result operational changes and emergency scenarios can unlock opportunities to save CAPEX and OPEX — while also ensuring safe and controllable operations. Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, with its trusted accuracy and built-in workflows and templates, can enable you to prevent damage with reduced risk of compressor surge, design the controls to optimize column operability and much more!

Digitalization is an imperative in today’s volatile environment where a new generation of younger, inexperienced operators bring increased risk. The process industries, in particular, need new ways to help operators navigate the growing complexity that comes with the job. Innovations in process modeling, 3D visualization and digital twin deployment enable operators to practice their skills digitally in identifying and responding to potential issues, mitigating risk and optimizing performance.
