As all companies have been challenged by the current economic and health crisis, the successful recovery requires a new view toward future development and growth with metrics that consider broad and more long-term goals. Featured in Hydrocarbon Processing, AspenTech’s Paige Morse shares considerations for building future resiliency that center around digitalization.

The 2015 Paris Agreement and other international climate change accords have helped raise global awareness of the need for countries to take urgent action to combat climate change. As companies continue to focus on sustainability, a common theme is taking shape around the role of digitalization as a key enabler. In fact, a recent ARC Advisory Group survey revealed that 75% of respondents rated digital transformation as highly important for achieving sustainability goals.

2015年《巴黎协定》和其他国际气候变化协定有助于提高全球对各国需要采取紧急行动应对气候变化的认识。随着企业继续关注可持续性，围绕数字化作为关键推动因素的作用，一个共同的主题正在形成。事实上，ARC咨询集团最近的一项调查显示，75%的受访者认为数字化转型对于实现可持续发展目标非常重要。

Building on the BLOWDOWN technology in Aspen HYSYS, Staggered Analysis is used to complete the design or validation of disposal systems that sequence the discharge of multiple blowdown valves. Start your 1-day online trial today to take a guided tour and try out the breakthrough technology that can be used to significantly cut CAPEX without compromising safety

For the design and revalidation of overpressure protection systems, Engineers can turn to the API compliant Relief Valve Sizing in Aspen HYSYS with scenarios and innovative relief load calculations methods built in. Start your 1-day online trial today to take a guided tour and test drive the functionality and workflows that enable 90% reductions in engineering time for process safety analyses.

Reliable and safe flare network operation, sizing, and revalidation is critical to process safety and to ensure regulatory compliance. During this webinar, Inprocess, a leading engineering consulting group serving companies across the energy and petrochemical industries, will discuss and demonstrate the use of aspenONE® Engineering software to rigorously perform revalidation studies to find capital savings and improve process safety and reliability. Inprocess will show how using AspenTech’s dynamic simulation in combination with Flare Analysis generates a competitive edge.

BLOWDOWN Technology, developed by Dr. Graham Saville and Professor Stephen Richardson of Imperial College London, is now available in Aspen HYSYS, creating the optimal tool for completing depressurization projects. Join technical experts from AspenTech and BLOWDOWN Technology consultants to discover how this technology can ensure the accurate design of depressurization systems that’s vital for safe operations.

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?

Accurate and rigorous design of depressurizing systems — including staggering the release of contents into the flare system to minimize peak loads — is a challenge, but it’s critical to making sure the process operates safely. During this webinar AspenTech safety product experts discuss BLOWDOWN Technology best practices. You’ll also see demonstrations on how to model an entire depressurization system, individually or staggered.

Ensuring process safety is important across the entirety of your plant or refinery. Within the process safety workflow, the rating, designing and debottlenecking of flare networks are essential to pressure relief analysis (PRA) projects. The Aspen HYSYS® software suite, including Aspen Flare System Analyzer, Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, and the PSV-sizing tool, provides a kit of process safety tools that enable you to produce the optimal flare system design — with greater ease and efficiency —across the complete plant or refinery.
