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 twin software offers new levels of operational excellence through enterprise-wide insights that drive improved business operations.

Optimal heat exchanger design software is vital for the efficient operation of any process plant. The integration between heat exchanger design and rating software, Aspen EDR, and the process simulators Aspen HYSYS® or Aspen Plus® enables engineers to design heat exchangers best suited to their processes. View this webinar to learn best practices on designing heat exchangers.

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

Another opportunity to learn from “Dr. Distillation” how refineries can better operate their VDUs, a challenging and critical unit for most plants. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from U.S. refiner Phillips 66) has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Dr. Karpe will share best practices on improving VDU operations with Aspen HYSYS®.

Right when most refineries are preparing to meet the new IMO regulations on sulfur emissions, AspenTech launched the molecule-based hydrocracker simulation model in Aspen HYSYS® V11.
