Crude Distillation Units (CDU) are one of the most critical units impacting a refinery’s profit margin. Refiners have found it challenging to optimize their CDU operations as the complexity of the unit has kept them from simulating the entire unit in one piece. However, with new ‘equation-oriented’ technology in Aspen HYSYS, refineries can build a robust integrated model of their crude distillation column and pre-heat train network. View this webinar and learn how you can improve your CDU operations today!

Distillation columns are troublesome units, representing one of the biggest operational challenges in the processing industry — primarily because internal conditions are dynamic and there is limited operational insight into their behavior. Offline and online advanced process simulation offers engineers and operators powerful process engineering capabilities for column analysis. With operations-oriented columns troubleshooting, you can gain insights into key processes and enable faster problem-solving.

Aspen Watch Performance Monitor provides real-time monitoring and diagnostic information to help engineers and operators focus on the problems that erode margins. During this on-demand webinar, Joep Bazelmans of SABIC-Europe will share his methods and suggestions for implementing custom KPIs, helping you keep an eye on performance.

El ensuciamiento de los intercambiadores de calor provoca un consumo excesivo de energía, gran pérdida de presión y, a veces, interrupciones en el proceso. La incapacidad de medir los niveles de ensuciamiento para las unidades operativas agrava el problema. Aprenda cómo las soluciones de Aspen Technology para gemelos digitales le ayudan a monitorear los niveles de ensuciamiento en los intercambiadores de calor.

Com a introdução do Monitoramento Centralizado de Desempenho na versão 11 do aspenONE APC (Advanced Process Control), as empresas podem melhorar suas margens de operação em toda a organização, tendo melhor visibilidade dos benefícios e desempenho dos controladores. As novas capacidades não-lineares do Aspen DMC3™ permitem estender as ferramentas e funcionalidades do controlador para processos não-lineares.

Sistemas de Execução de Produção fornecem a maneira mais fácil e eficaz de acessar e analisar as informações do historiador de processo. As empresas líderes confiam em plataformas de visualização de dados inovadoras para exibir dados de tags, visualizar telas e analisar a performance de planta.

¿Cómo está utilizando la tecnología para gestionar la incertidumbre en el mercado volátil actual? Muchos líderes de la industria están aprovechando sus datos y recursos existentes junto con la tecnología de Asset Performance Management (APM) para mejorar significativamente la seguridad, reducir las emisiones ambientales, disminuir los costos de mantenimiento y mejorar la producción.

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.

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.

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.
