The impact of COVID-19 has accelerated digitalisation for the process industry. In this exclusive interview with Pipeline Oil & Gas News, Antonio Pietri, President and CEO of AspenTech®, discusses how this acceleration of digitalisation will lead to the creation of a Self-Optimizing Plant.

As domestic and global economies heal, the petrochemicals industry will enjoy healthy demand growth for the next two years, but greater emphasis on productivity technologies is needed to seize this growth. Read this article to learn how refineries, looking to improve their productivity, must bring scheduling activities under a single platform in order to streamline their workflow and achieve a greater view of the entire petroleum supply chain.

This article, featured in The Chemical Engineer, discusses why operators often struggle to know where to begin to digitally transform. AspenTech's Paige Morse outlines how many operations, particularly in specialties, have become increasingly complex as customers demand higher levels of performance and quality and a greater range of options from producers. Operators realize they need to diversify product lines to meet these increasingly sophisticated needs. Download this article to learn more.

After an electrical storm stopped gas production at one of its plants, SABIC executives and reliability engineers turned to Aspen Fidelis Reliability to calculate the probability of it—or a similarly debilitating event—happening again. Read this article from Plant Services to learn more.

Sustainability is emerging as a critical business topic, as companies focus resources toward lowering emissions, waste and energy use in their production process. In this article, Paige Morse, Chemicals Industry Marketing Director, shares how sustainability affects four key areas within a processing plant and how digital transformation supports sustainability efforts through efficiency improvements.

See how you can use Aspen Technology solutions to develop a refinery wide process model that would enable refinery process engineers to evaluate the economic impact of operational changes and help planners achieve a more accurate assessment of profit margins.

In this article, Robert Golightly explains the limitations of traditional maintenance practices and how new advancements in predictive maintenance are pushing assets and equipment to the limits of performance. Learn how today's industry leaders are using low-touch machine learning to extract value from design and operations data to predict when and where failures will occur.

To achieve operational excellence, process manufacturers must quickly and systematically address the root causes of asset reliability problems, which include inadequate operating procedures, poor design, and improper scheduling of production.
