As critical net-zero targets remain top of mind for today’s chemical and energy companies, technologies like solvent-based carbon capture can be deployed to reduce carbon emissions and advance sustainability goals.

As asset-intensive companies grapple with the increased complexity of maintaining reliable, high performing equipment, the challenge grows exponentially when critical asset data—maintenance records, sensor data, historical information, etc.—is siloed across various systems, departments and formats.

Safety remains a critical imperative for companies worldwide as it impacts the workforce, surrounding communities and operations of the plant or refinery. Yet engineers often struggle to analyze scenarios and design risks for an effective safety system.

In today's complex and ever-changing technological landscape, integration between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is not just a buzzword; it's a necessity.

As midstream companies continue to struggle gathering and understanding measurement data from disparate sources to make more informed decisions, new innovations in industrial data management are providing a simpler, smarter approach.

To effectively scale the hydrogen economy to meet ambitious decarbonization goals by 2035, companies must accelerate innovation, increase production and reduce risk. A “born digital” strategy is essential—from project inception across the entire process and asset lifecycle.

As the demand for chemicals and refined products intensifies, refineries and olefins plants are challenged more than ever to enhance efficiency and maximize yields.

Are you still relying on simplified RAM analysis or even “gut feel” to make critical decisions for your operations? What if you could gain a more holistic view with in-depth insights to help quantify overall project value?

Cost estimation is one of the key aspects of any engineering project, as it provides the basis to decide the feasibility and budget for the project. Yet cost estimation is often enclosed by uncertainty since during early engineering stages there is still very little information available. How can engineering teams find the most profitable designs when the project is still under development?
