Energy is often the largest operating expense after raw materials for refining and petrochemicals companies, frequently starting out at over 50 percent of operating costs prior to energy reduction programs. Managing and optimizing these energy costs are critical capabilities for a refinery to meet profitability and sustainability targets. This white paper details the journey Bharat Petroleum Mumbai Refinery (BPCL-MR) in Mahul, India underwent to improve operations while optimizing energy costs.

It is critical for combined cycle power plants to control costs and increase efficiency. In order to accomplish these goals, these plants must make every effort to avoid costly shutdowns, including implementing the newest innovative technologies. This white paper details how combined cycle power plants can leverage the lessons learned from other industries to capture more value from capital equipment, thereby improving operations overall.

Download this white paper and learn how the leading technology for sulfur recovery was incorporated into Aspen HYSYS, as well as its new functionality. With the market-leading accuracy of Sulsim Sulfur Recovery and Acid Gas Cleaning, you can now model and optimize the whole gas process in one environment.

Read this new white paper to find out how digital technologies can now guide improvements at all stages of an asset lifecycle – from unit design and operations optimization to maintenance programs.

All chemical facilities have opportunities to reduce manufacturing costs, including newer, state-of-the art plants, older plants and those in between. Leading global producers have demonstrated reduced energy consumption, increased yield and higher reliability by simply improving operational practices through the application of advanced technology.

Today, refineries face the difficult challenge of maintaining and improving their gross refinery margin while meeting increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Refineries need to work in anticipation of new evolving emission regulations. Learn how BPCL Kochi refinery used Aspen HYSYS to develop a real-time refinery-wide digital twin for emissions monitoring enabling them to:

The success of an APC program is measured in many ways, but the overall success is integral to achieving operational excellence. For example, an APC program should safely capture benefits during testing, capture all the potential benefits with aggressive full scope controllers, and create an APC culture and organization. Download this white paper to learn more about these concepts, as well as several others, which are key to a successful APC program.

With downstream margins globally close to a 10-year low, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics and ExxonMobil, companies need to find new areas for improvement. Current digital solutions offer ways plants can move beyond mechanical and equipment investments to drive greater profits. Download this white paper that outlines high impact operational improvements that deliver immediate results.

The upstream oil and gas sector has faced a variety of challenges such as unpredictable oil prices, changing patterns of demand and ensuring safe working conditions at remote sites. Accelerated digitalization programs, particularly those that include digital twin technology, can provide agility and resilience to better handle future market uncertainty and lay the foundation for longer term competitive advantage.
