Why APC should be implemented on secondary units. Includes sections on environmental emissions control, fuel gas networks control and optimization, sulphur complex control and steam networks control.

The success of an APC program is measured in many ways, but the overall success is integral to achieving operational excellence. For example, an APC program should safely capture benefits during testing, capture all the potential benefits with aggressive full scope controllers, and create an APC culture and organization. Download this white paper to learn more about these concepts, as well as several others, which are key to a successful APC program.

アスペンテックは、第一原理に基づくプロセスシミュレーションモデルと専門知識をAIおよびアナリティクスアルゴリズムと統合するための手法を考案しました。その結果生まれたアプリケーションソフトウェアは、第一原理モデリングだけ、あるいはAIだけの場合よりも多くのことを達成できるハイブリッドモデリングシステムです。

Whether particles are being formed, reduced in size, enlarged, participating in reactions, or just being separated from a fluid stream, ignoring or poorly modeling the solids processing steps may lead to lost opportunities, including cost reductions and quality improvements. The main challenges that arise when optimizing or troubleshooting a solids process include inefficient designs due to separate modeling of fluids and solids sections, overdesign of equipment, high-energy demands, reduced yields and quality variability. Modeling the solids section of a process is important for many common processes including specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, metals and mining, pharmaceuticals, biofuels and more. This paper describes the approach for incorporating granular solids and the corresponding solids processing steps when modeling processes.

Ron Beck speaks to the power of a model based estimating system providing insight to its attributes like reusable templates and saleable features. How does ACCE differ from my proprietary Excel-based spreadsheets?

In the current extreme VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment, chemical producers are learning the importance of operating with insight and agility. At the same time, companies are being tested for the depth of their resilience, and learning how to navigate huge shifts in demand, supply, workforce and economics, and emerge from this crisis in a stronger position.

Whether it’s a pilot plant or a complex petrochemical plant, these facilities rarely run like a well-oiled machine. There are always unknown variable dependencies that are difficult to understand, and there’s substantial room for improvement. In many situations, optimization is not the focus for plants because there are issues with reliability and safety that take precedence. Does this sound familiar? The ability to simplify job tasks and boost efficiency will greatly enhance plant performance but also, make your job easier

Are you struggling to effectively organize and analyze your data to troubleshoot bad batches? Multivariate analytics will quickly deliver insights that can increase batch quality, yield and throughput. Manufacturers have already realized 10 percent increase in production and 50 percent reduction in quality variability through the use of such tools. Download this paper now to learn how to get truly meaningful insights from your batch process data for optimal plant performance.

Achieve savings in both engineering hours and CAPEX with modular design through the use of stanadardized designs in re-useable templates.
