Fouling of heat exchangers causes excessive energy consumption, large pressure loss and sometimes process outages. Inability to directly measure fouling levels for operating units compounds the problem. Learn how the advanced plant digital twin solutions from Aspen Technology enable tracking of heat exchanger fouling levels both online and offline.

Optimal heat exchanger design is vital for the efficient operation of any process plant. The integration between heat exchanger design and rating software, Aspen EDR, and the process simulators Aspen HYSYS® or Aspen Plus® enables engineers to design heat exchangers best suited to their processes.

Aspen Petroleum Refining solution helps refineries maximize crude flexibility and optimize throughput using advanced refinery-wide simulation.

Aspen HYSYS has been updated and improved with additional features over the last few years. From concurrent engineering to integrated gas plant modeling and refinery-wide modeling to streamlined process safety analysis, experience the latest innovations in chemical process simulation. This checklist shows the addition of features and incremental improvements by version.

Learn how Saudi Aramco used Aspen HYSYS to analyze feasibility of refinery reconfiguration plans by developing plant digital twins of multiple units. The new reconfiguration plan projects a 100,000 barrels/day increase in the refinery’s processing capacity, a substantial reduction in fuel oil production together with a significant boost in diesel production capacity.

What is a digital twin? Why is it an essential building block for your organization’s initiatives, such as sustainability, operational excellence and improved margins? Leading energy and chemical companies are leveraging digital twin technology to model the behavior and performance of assets to improve their bottom line. In this on-demand webinar AspenTech’s Market Strategy Director and industry expert Ron Beck shares how digital twin technology provides the following benefits:

Aspen HYSYS, with its ability to rigorously simulate refinery wide processes & equipment including distillation columns, reactors, heat exchangers, gas plants and more, enables refiners to quickly and accurately analyze operational feasibility of new crude blends. Start your 1-day online trial today to take a guided tour and test drive of the functionality and workflows that enable refiners to eliminate operational risks in processing economic crudes.

Another opportunity to learn from “Dr. Distillation” how refineries can better operate their VDUs, a challenging and critical unit for most plants. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Prakash Karpe (retired from U.S. refiner Phillips 66) has perfected the skill of leveraging advanced process simulation technology to implement practical improvements to refinery operation — saving millions of dollars. Dr. Karpe will share best practices on improving VDU operations with Aspen HYSYS®.

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?
