Discover how PETROLTERV saved significant CAPEX on a revamp project due to greater design accuracy enabled by the integrated aspenONE Engineering suite of products. Due to efficiencies gained from using this integrated software suite, PETROLTERV no longer needed to outsource a large number of engineering projects, such as air cooler design, pressure safety valve sizing and more. By increasing their ability to complete more projects in-house, PETROLTERV has reduced project costs, as well as delivered those projects on time and on budget.

Learn how Process Ecology, a Calgary-based oil and gas consultancy that assists gas processing plants in the operation of their facilities, used Aspen HYSYS to model and provide operating strategies to minimize air emissions, optimize use of solvents and eliminate permit violations.

Learn how Qenos, an Austrailian ethylene manufacturer, used Aspen DMC3 to revamp a demethaniser controller with very limited resources and achieved a 5-10% increase in cold end throughput, a 40% reduction in variability in overhead methane, and a 20% reduction in tower dP.

Because traditional diagnostic methods weren’t preventing equipment failures or identifying root causes of historic failures, a U.S. refinery turned to Aspen Mtell prescriptive maintenance to improve internal data science resources. Download this case study to learn how this refinery's pilot program with Aspen Mtell was able to predict failures with nearly one month of lead time, enabling planning for maintenance and rescheduling production.

Improved reliability, safety, and sustainability are key strategic initiatives for pulp and paper companies to operate at maximum potential. In this Q&A with AspenTech® pulp and paper expert Joni Lipkowitz, learn how asset performance management can ensure a facility’s capability to produce and provide opportunities for additional capacity.

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.

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has proved to be helpful for continuous processes, but can the same principles be applied to improve equipment effectiveness in batch operations? The short answer is, yes. With some refocused metrics, manufacturers that run batch processes can shorten cycle times and address their own high-value problems by correlating performance, downtime and quality to products and equipment. We spoke with Stuart Forrest, MES Business Consultant for AspenTech, to get the inside scoop on batch OEE and find out what kind of results manufacturers can expect by tracking it through an advanced MES solution.

Learn how S&B reduces estimating manhours by between 50-80% depending on project stage through use of ACCE on all bids and estimates.

Digital transformation seeks to use technology to achieve your goals: fewer errors, more production, better product quality and improved customer service. The vertical integration of enterprise and IT technologies — also known as “smart manufacturing” or Industry 4.0 — synchronizes commercial systems, such as production orders from the enterprise resource planning system, with manufacturing systems like the distributed control systems, weigh scales or barcode readers. Learn how you how can reduce product quality errors, batch cycle times and operating costs through vertical integration.

Learn how Saudi Aramco used Aspen HYSYS to analyze feasibility of refinery reconfiguration plans by developing plant digital twins of multiple units. The new reconfiguration plan projects a 100,000 barrels/day increase in the refinery’s processing capacity, a substantial reduction in fuel oil production together with a significant boost in diesel production capacity.
