Oil refineries are complex operations with tight margins, constantly adapting to changing crude types and product demands. Rigorous process simulation software like Aspen HYSYS® provides vital insights to manage these challenges effectively.

Watch experts from Carbon Circle, an EPC specialist in carbon removal and energy transition solutions, and hear how they are improving the economics, execution and scale-up of their projects—including energy-from-waste (EfW) with integrated CCS.

Global hydrogen demand is forecast to increase dramatically to 2050. Dozens of nations around the world have established hydrogen roadmaps or policies that are fueling the adoption of hydrogen that will help adhere to net-zero policies. To adhere to these policies, a significant amount of capital investment will be needed to satisfy increasing hydrogen demand.

Operational teams and engineers understand their processes intimately, yet converting that expertise into actionable operational and advanced process control (APC) strategies can be complex. Moreover, a lack of understanding of APC actions often leads to constrained APC controllers, and in some cases, to APC being disabled altogether, resulting in lost benefits.

Shell recently completed a pilot evaluation of Aspen Unified Planning™ (AUP) and Aspen Unified Scheduling™ (AUS) at the Pernis and Moerdijk manufacturing complexes. The objective of the project was to simplify and streamline the deployment of newer software versions to enhance the efficiency and usability of its planning and scheduling tools.

Frequent changes in refinery operating conditions cause planning models to fall out of sync with actual conditions, making them less reliable. At the same time, updating these models is complex, often forcing refineries to turn to expensive third-party consultants.

With ever-changing operating conditions—including different feedstock—today’s process plants are challenged to meet growth and sustainability targets as many critical KPIs cannot be measured on a real-time basis. While process simulation models can be deployed online to provide operators real-time visibility to optimize performance, there is a common misconception in the industry that this approach is complicated and difficult.
