During this free webinar, Michael Reifer, leader of Momentive’s Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) Center of Excellence, and Aaron Hunt, SCM senior technical manager, will discuss how the company’s silicone and quartz business units excel at detailed scheduling and finite capacity optimization in both manufacturing and stock transfer scheduling. Additionally, they will share how Momentive’s SIOP Center of Excellence plays a key role in supporting sustainable talent and process development.

El ensuciamiento de los intercambiadores de calor provoca un consumo excesivo de energía, gran pérdida de presión y, a veces, interrupciones en el proceso. La incapacidad de medir los niveles de ensuciamiento para las unidades operativas agrava el problema. Aprenda cómo las soluciones de Aspen Technology para gemelos digitales le ayudan a monitorear los niveles de ensuciamiento en los intercambiadores de calor.

Crude Distillation Units (CDU) are one of the most critical units impacting a refinery’s profit margin. Refiners have found it challenging to optimize their CDU operations as the complexity of the unit has kept them from simulating the entire unit in one piece. However, with new ‘equation-oriented’ technology in Aspen HYSYS, refineries can build a robust integrated model of their crude distillation column and pre-heat train network. View this webinar and learn how you can improve your CDU operations today!

Solving operational problems and making decisions requires experience and sound engineering know-how. While traditional rules-of-thumb and heuristic approaches can help, steps for improving operations remain unclear, processes grow too complex and operations are left suboptimal. By using Aspen HYSYS®, Aspen Online and plant data from a data historian such as InfoPlus.21®, you can quickly identify issues and find solutions. Discover how to achieve reliable operations with model-backed intelligence.

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?

Agile has traditionally been used for software product development, however, it can also be applied as a key enabler for supply chain transformation. Hexion, a global specialty chemical company, has applied Agile to improve supply chain processes, driven by Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE), across 45 global production sites.

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:

How can you use historical data to improve batch quality, increase yield and reduce costs?
