In this white paper, plant managers, engineers and supervisors can learn the different ways simulations models can be used throughout the lifecycle of their plant. It focuses on seven areas you can use process simulation software (like Aspen Plus or Aspen HYSYS) for troubleshooting, process monitoring, and real time performance monitoring or real time optimization (RTO).

Virtually all multinational, diversified chemical companies are expanding their emphasis on specialty chemicals. Competition is intensifying, resulting in both margin degradation and faster product commoditization while customers are further exacerbating the situation by demanding “faster, better and cheaper” products. Learn how to leverage production scheduling to improve customer satisfaction and further take advantage of flexibility inside the plant.

The energy industry has been hit hard by current global economic interruptions: rapid drops in demand, a changing mix of preferred products, plummeting crude prices, difficulty staffing essential production sites and fragile supply lines. Energy companies are re-examining their digital capabilities and increasing their focus on digitalization as an essential strategy.

Small operational issues in the sulphur recovery unit (SRU) can lead to higher emisisons — or worse, a frustrating and costly shutdown. Simulation of the SRU can enable more reliable operations and fewer shutdowns through the prevention of issues and quick and effective troubleshooting. In this paper, we present three common operational issues and show how simulation was used to prevent or quickly resolve the situation.

Ron Beck speaks to the power of a model based estimating system providing insight to its attributes like reusable templates and saleable features. How does ACCE differ from my proprietary Excel-based spreadsheets?

Una de las empresas más grandes a nivel mundial para productos químicos, plásticos y de refinación utilizó Aspen ProMV para entender y resolver sus problemas de producción causado por un problema de alta viscosidad en el aceite de enfriamiento. En este caso de estudio conozca cómo Aspen ProMV permitió a la empresa a destacar las principales variables de proceso que están altamente correlacionadas con problemas de viscosidad y que guio rápidamente a los ingenieros de proceso al problema subyacente para limitar las pérdidas.

Heat exchangers can comprise up to 30% of capital equipment and impact 90% of the energy used in a process plant. The conventional workflow for heat exchanger design requires manual data transfer. The process is time-consuming and prone to data transcription errors. The Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating product family integrates rigorous process models with the industry’s most comprehensive heat exchanger modeling capabilities. In this brochure you will learn how the these fully integrated tools for process design increases engineering efficiency, reduces exchanger costs and improves reliability.
