Is the era of oil and gas megaprojects over?

Easing the squeeze on profitability with effective energy management

Engineering software enables designing for the deep

Root Cause determines the weaknesses in processes so that the real cause or reason for a failure in a process can be eliminated. RCA looks upward into a process and prioritizes the weaknesses that might contribute to potential failures.

All chemical facilities have opportunities to reduce manufacturing costs, including newer, state-of-the art plants, older plants and those in between. Leading global producers have demonstrated reduced energy consumption, increased yield and higher reliability by simply improving operational practices through the application of advanced technology.

There is a challenge for many refinery and chemical companies to impove the analysis proess and raise performance. The inside story of operational intelligence lies in rich thin visualization and analytics capabilities that improve production execution, enabling process manufacturers to quickly identify and resolve operational issues.

Learn how Strategic Estimating Systems leverages past projects when using Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) to significantly increase the accuracy of estimates. See how you can easily calibrate and index ACCE to: incorporate historical data using best practices, improve the approach to estimating projects in different regions and increase efficiency while developing a consistent workflow.

Eliminate the guesswork with reliability modeling that quantifies risk.

In depth look at the Smart Tune engine- The new Sequential Multi-Objective Optimization (SMO) technology is a step change from traditional APC optimizers. The new algorithm eliminates any LP cost tuning by enabling users to explicitly specify the APC controllers’ objectives.

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.
