Webinar with Burns & McDonnell: Plant Digital Twin Best Practices to Increase Profitability for Refineries
Operations in the process industries are challenging due to the inherent complexities and lack of insights. Plant digital twin technology helps solve these challenges. Learn how Burns & McDonnell developed and deployed a plant digital twin of a refinery’s FCC unit using rigorous process simulation to:
- Analyze why the column was failing to meet design feed rates
- Simulate and visualize the hydraulic operation of the column
- Explore and compare alternative solutions
- Leverage integrated cost analysis to compare budget implications of other solutions
Ultimately, Burns & McDonnell delivered the refinery millions of dollars in revenue from improved yield of high value products.

Optimizing the operations of the integrated unit comprised of the crude distillation column and the crude preheat train has been a challenge for most refineries, given the difficulty in analyzing the unit as a whole. However, with the ‘equation-oriented’ solver technology in Aspen HYSYS, refineries can build a robust integrated model of their crude distillation column and pre-heat train network. Learn how to employ these advanced capabilities and improve your CDU operations today.
