The global pandemic has disrupted the process industries as never before. Shifting market demands and an increasingly remote workforce are challenging companies to operate safely, efficiently and profitably. At the same time, they cannot lose sight of their long-term sustainability goals. Fortunately, advances in technology are helping downstream, upstream and chemical leaders not just adapt, but find new ways to improve operations, reduce risk and create value—all while driving toward a safer, more sustainable business.

How do you consider capital and operating expenses while developing process designs? With Activated Economics, process engineers can quickly and accurately identify the economic impact of design decisions without leaving Aspen Plus® or Aspen HYSYS®. During this webinar, you’ll learn how to estimate capital and operating expenses to optimize and/or compare multiple process schemas to maximize profitability.

Chemical manufacturing operations provide a huge amount of process data generated in real time. This data is a wealth of information and can provide insight into better operational decision-making when tied to process modeling. Our webinar is designed for both process engineers and operators seeking to improve their distillation column performance.

How are you using technology to make CAPEX and OPEX tradeoff decisions in the current volatile market? Many industry leaders are leveraging digitalization in their scenario planning to respond to fast changing conditions while minimizing the impact on business.

Accurately modelling the solids section of a process is critical to product quality. Commonly, the solid and fluid sections of a process are modelled separately, making troubleshooting and optimizing inefficient and time-consuming. Additionally, solids are described by distributed properties rather than concentrated properties, which adds an extra level of complexity. These difficulties often lead to neglected or over-simplified solids modelling. With the latest innovations in Aspen Plus® engineers can develop solid-fluid integrated flowsheets without deep expertise; model solids processes such as grinding, separation, crystallization, and drying; and size equipment to avoid bottlenecks and overdesign. View this webinar and learn directly from AspenTech experts how you can leverage the latest enhancements to Aspen Plus to model solids processes.

Today’s refineries are faced with various challenges when it comes to blending, while striving to maximize margins and meet market and regulatory requirements such as IMO 2020. During this presentation, you will learn how multi-period, non-linear blending helps refiners reduce quality giveaway and increase profitability.

Are you experiencing unplanned equipment failures and higher than expected warranty and program costs? A critical step in the IoT journey is using historical and real-time data to forecast when equipment could fail through early identification of anomalies and fault prediction. During this webinar, Frederic Bastien, VP, Product Management with AspenTech, will discuss how advanced IoT models predict equipment failures and provide the following benefits:

In this webinar, we will show you how to improve productivity by deploying simulation models inside your organization using Aspen Simulation Workbook (ASW). We will demonstrate building a model in Excel with a C-2 splitter so you can see how you can use it in your organization.

This webinar will discuss key business challenges and solutions in the context of market challenges, especially for the olefins manufacturing sector. With new world-scale crackers coming online, all cracker operators need to establish optimal operating envelopes, to position new and existing operations in a new competitive environment.

In the current economic environment, gas processors are going the extra mile to reduce operating costs and increase throughput while maintaining product quality. This means driving the gas plant to its limits, avoiding CAPEX in debottlenecking or upgrades, cutting operating costs and quickly developing complete designs.
