Bulk Chemicals
As global commodity chemicals markets face economic headwinds, transitioning to more efficient use of resources and integrated operations models is critical. Our solutions help achieve productivity and margin goals while accelerating toward a net-zero future.
SABIC, a leading global petrochemicals producer, faced challenges of quantifying energy losses and optimizing operations while addressing daily plant challenges.
Learn how they used Aspen Utilities Planner™ to minimize energy use and create a strategy around utilities management, allowing operation engineers to track consumption patterns and reduce GHG emissions while running with greater efficiency.
