Energy is often the largest operating expense after raw materials for refining and petrochemicals companies, frequently starting out at over 50 percent of operating costs prior to energy reduction programs. Managing and optimizing these energy costs are critical capabilities for a refinery to meet profitability and sustainability targets. This white paper details the journey Bharat Petroleum Mumbai Refinery (BPCL-MR) in Mahul, India underwent to improve operations while optimizing energy costs.

Today, refineries face the difficult challenge of maintaining and improving their gross refinery margin while meeting increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Refineries need to work in anticipation of new evolving emission regulations. Learn how BPCL Kochi refinery used Aspen HYSYS to develop a real-time refinery-wide digital twin for emissions monitoring enabling them to:

With Recipe-based modeling, chemists and engineers can work together to develop new processes faster, remove equipment and schedule limitations, and transfer technology smoothly between sites and departments.  With Aspen Batch Process Developer use recipe-based modeling solutions to develop your batch process from lab to plant using models that grow with the scale of your batch process.  Watch now to learn more.

Owner operator’s seek to understand the sources of cost from a bid received from an engineering and construction firm to remove unnecessary CAPEX and improve the design, benefiting both parties. A shared model based platform improves transparency, improves design and lowers CAPEX. Watch now to learn more.

Operator Training Simulators (OTSs) are useful for training new and experienced operators on startups, shutdowns, and operational changes. Built with the OTS Software from Inprocess Technology and Consulting Group, the New Aspen Operating Training enables a Full Dynamic lifecycle for OTS Deployment. Watch now to learn more.
