As one of Europe’s most complex refineries, Heide Refinery looked to optimize its entire middle distillate system to maximize product quality and reduce giveaway. Given recent market volatility, Heide planned to further improve its operational agility to respond faster to changing conditions.

The mining value chain is complex as companies struggle to safely collect and analyze data across a growing network of devices, personnel and equipment. The faster you can gain insights from this data, the better your operation will run.

Advanced process control (APC) applications require accurate inputs for stream qualities, including product compositions and distillation curve points. While online analyzers are effective in supporting model predictive controllers, they are expensive and often unavailable for important process streams. There is a more cost-effective approach for building virtual analyzers or inferentials to accurately estimate stream qualities and it starts with digital twins.

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 twins offer new levels of operational excellence through enterprise-wide insights that drive improved business operations.

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.

As companies look to improve efficiency amid changing conditions and constrained resources, new advancements in APC dramatically streamline operations. The newly released aspenONE® V12 features embedded AI and parallel computing to enable even less-experienced users to generate faster seed models and more accurate inferentials.

Con la introducción del monitoreo centralizado del desempeño en la versión 11 de aspenONE APC, las organizaciones pueden mejorar los márgenes operativos en toda la empresa al proporcionar una mayor visibilidad de los beneficios y el rendimiento de APC. Las nuevas capacidades no lineales en Aspen DMC3™ le permiten extender las características y la funcionalidad del controlador a procesos no lineales.

LNG facilities are typically constrained by refrigeration capacity which is affected by many factors, predominantly ambient conditions. Due to the highly interactive nature of the liquefaction process and small feasible operating envelope, consistently maximizing production poses a challenge for LNG operators. Join Andrew Taylor, Principal Advanced Process Control (APC) Consultant at Greenfern Dynamics, for this on-demand webinar to learn about typical benefit areas and mechanisms associated with APC.
