To chemical and polymer manufacturers, achieving site optimization and resiliency to disruptions is key to meeting the world's ever-changing demand. Take a deep dive look into the flywheel effect of how Advanced Process Control (APC) and Scheduling synergies takes manufacturing sites to another level of performance and resilience. Leverage both of these crucial layers together to multiply the benefits of each other.

AspenTech provides over 160 easy-to-use application models that you can adapt to your own initiatives, along with the supporting documentation to help you get started. Models cover areas such as bio-based feedstocks, carbon capture, emissions management, hydrogen economy, materials circularity and more.

Bio-based feedstocks play an important role in creating a circular economy. Making biofuel or chemicals from biofeedstocks typically has a lower carbon footprint than the fossil fuel-based processes. Therefore, transforming biofeedstocks is considered as one of the energy transition pillars. Despite sustainability advantages, many chemical and polymer makers have been reluctant to actively pursue large-scale use of biofeedstocks mainly due to economics and process complexities.

These are challenging times for chemical companies. The industry is transforming to respond to the increasing global demand and environmental challenges while facing serious economic headwinds. What’s the solution, and what does the path to the future look like?
