Crude distillation units (CDUs) are one of the most critical units to a refinery’s profitability. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from renowned expert Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from leading U.S. refiner Phillips 66). Dr. Karpe has over 35-plus years of experience and has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Learn how you can use Aspen HYSYS to improve your CDU operations and bring savings to your refinery.

Ensuring process safety is important across the entirety of your plant or refinery. Within the process safety workflow, the rating, designing and debottlenecking of flare networks are essential to pressure relief analysis (PRA) projects. The Aspen HYSYS® software suite, including Aspen Flare System Analyzer, Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, and the PSV-sizing tool, provides a kit of process safety tools that enable you to produce the optimal flare system design — with greater ease and efficiency —across the complete plant or refinery.

Refinery reactors are critical units of any refinery, affecting both the quality and yield of products. Kinetic simulation models of reactor units help refineries get the most from these complex processes. Aspen HYSYS offers a complete suite of kinetic models for all major refinery reactor units, which has provided refineries worldwide with benefits worth millions of dollars from operational improvements. Learn how you can leverage the latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS to improve your refinery operations.

To realize the maximum potential for optimization, process plant design must simultaneously address multiple factors. The most successful organizations bring together people from across the business to optimize design and operations. Cross-disciplinary teamwork that takes a big-picture, integrated approach to optimization delivers superior business results, including reduced CAPEX and OPEX, faster time to market, greater energy efficiency and higher profit margins.

Purpose-built for the process industry, there are five enhancements that make AI suitable for industrial applications, including scalability and enhanced safety, efficiency and sustainability.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused acute disruptions the world over. The energy sector, in particular, has been severely impacted raising questions like:

The impact of COVID-19 has accelerated digitalisation for the process industry. In this exclusive interview with Pipeline Oil & Gas News, Antonio Pietri, President and CEO of AspenTech®, discusses how this acceleration of digitalisation will lead to the creation of a Self-Optimizing Plant.

Our latest Performance Engineering software accelerates digitalization for EPC owner operators and customers. New V12 capabilities leverage digitalization to drive change in the process industries.

In this Pharmaceutical podcast, host Dave Howell from Process Industry Informer discusses with AspenTech's Lawrence Clark, VP and Richard Porter, Director, the latest technologies and future insights for the process manufacturing industries.

Refineries and petrochemical plants are looking for ways to reduce margin leakage that occurs between production planning, scheduling and actual operations. AspenTech’s dynamic optimization technology, Aspen GDOT™, along with its first-in-class unified Production Optimization environment, Aspen Unified™, help align plant operations with changing economic conditions to optimize production in real time.
