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?

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.

Delivering accurate and consistent estimates, on time, contributes to an Engineering and Construction firm’s profitability. Brett Perroux, Estimating Section Lead/Systems Estimator from Jacobs Engineering, will discuss best practices such as calibration that will improve your ability to make sharp and consistent estimates. Brett’s insights will help produce better quality estimates by recognizing risks earlier in the process, allowing for better decisions and producing more efficient workflows

Repeatable designs are used increasingly in the process industry to minimize capital costs and reduce project risk and uncertainty. Using the highly integrated aspenONE® Engineering suite, engineering teams can easily capture best practice designs, and rapidly reuse them on new projects.

To realize the maximum potential for optimization, process plant design must simultaneously address multiple factors. The most successful organizations bring together people from across the business to optimize design and operations. Cross-disciplinary teamwork that takes a big-picture, integrated approach to optimization delivers superior business results, including reduced CAPEX and OPEX, faster time to market, greater energy efficiency and higher profit margins.
