It’s critical to make sure your refinery planning models are in sync with changes in operating conditions or catalysts. However, the extensive effort required to update planning models means that many refineries are dependent on external consultants — thereby hindering regular updates and leading to lost profits. The latest innovations in Aspen HYSYS® give users a streamlined workflow, so refineries can update their Aspen PIMS™ planning models in-house, reduce the time and effort required for updates, and much more. Learn how you can leverage Aspen HYSYS® to boost profits through greater planning model accuracy!

Effective KPIs and KPI hierarchies are one of 6 Keys to Improving Operational Effectiveness. A properly designed hierarchy of KPIs, aligned throughout the layers of the organization, will ensure that performance of lower level KPIs will produce corresponding improvements in the highest level KPIs.

CDU(Crude Distillation Units)는 정유사에서 수익성을 추구하는 가장 중요한 공정입니다. 현재의 VUCA, 즉 변동성이 크고(Volatile), 불확실하며(Uncertain), 복잡하고(Complex), 모호한(Ambiguous) 비즈니스 환경에서 정유사들이 디지털 트윈 기술을 활용하여 현재의 불확실성을 보다 효과적으로 타개하여 민첩하고 신속하게 대응할 수 있도록 돕는 두 가지 기술 영역에 대하여 알아보겠습니다.

The infrastructure supporting manufacturing operations in bulk chemicals has become pretty robust. The plants tend to be well instrumented and monitored. Sure, there are improvements to be made but when you compare the infrastructure prevalent in continuous plants with that of batch plants, you might find a pretty substantial gap.
