For industrial companies, true sustainability must be built into the complete asset lifecycle - whether it's their facilities or machinery. Digitalization offers significant opportunity to increase sustainability - and profitability - of your operations.

While safety remains a top priority for process plants, engineers still struggle to design effective and complete process safety systems. Disjointed tools make it hard to analyze all scenarios and address risks due to errors from need for manual data entry transfer.

Graham Hart, a supplier of engineered process systems, supplying heat exchangers and high-pressure equipment to clients worldwide, achieves 97% on time delivery of complex heat exchangers with Aspen HYSYS® and Aspen EDR™.

Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Sally Jacquemin, Vice President and General Manager, Power and Utilities, Aspen Technology, and Ron Beck, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing, Aspen Technology, to discuss electrification in the oil, gas and processing industries, including the use of renewables and microgrids.

With mining companies developing digital strategies to control increasing costs and maintain their competitive edge, many are looking to the future by implementing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

In a recent survey by Mining Magazine, 50 senior leaders shared their insights on the value of technology tools to improve efficiency, abide by regulations, optimize asset management, automate operations and drive future improvements.

Transform your mining operations with a prescriptive maintenance solution that empowers mine management to identify problematic performance trends well in advance of a failure and prescribes adjustments to operations or maintenance schedules to prevent those failures from occurring. See how AspenTech’s prescriptive maintenance solution and over 40 years of innovation, leadership expertise can work for you.

In a project in an urban environment restricted by limited surface drilling locations, a reliable development plan was needed to economically access gas condensate reserves, addressing all trajectory and engineering concerns and producing final well proposals that could be drilled safely, efficiently and successfully.

The design and debottleneck of plants often require multiple iterations of engineering and capital expenditure (CAPEX) analysis. No matter how well an asset is designed, once operational, new variables come into play allowing for further optimization opportunities to arise. The handoffs between design, construction and operations bring new wrinkles to the entire system. What may seem like an inconsequential decision in one area may have a significant impact in another.

Digital transformation to the Pharma 4.0 paradigm moves forward in process development and clinical and commercial manufacturing.
