The lighthouse organizations that have paved the way are showing continuous manufacturing is viable and scalable, leading to greater throughput & consistency in drug quality - decreasing time-to-market.

Emulsion polymerization is an exothermic reaction with high potential for runaway. To test all the scenarios predicted in a safety analysis for the process, the number of adiabatic laboratory experiments to cover all the recipes and all runaway scenarios would be very high.

Today, most cathodes used in lithium-ion batteries are made by coating an aluminum substrate with active ingredients and conductive materials dispersed in NMP using PVDF as binder. NMP is a hazardous chemical facing increasing global regulations restricting its use.  Researchers at PPG have developed a drop in binder - solvent system with more benign solvent that also offers performance advantages in terms of battery performance and solvent use.  

Fractionation of oleochemical products in Malaysia typically uses conventional distillation columns (CDCs). Unlike the oil and gas industry, process intensification in the oleochemicals industries is rarely studied. We seek to remedy the loopholes found in oleochemicals by rectifying the deficiencies in providing exciting opportunities to the industry's key players.

In this session from OPTIMIZE™ 21, learn more about a technical-economic assessment of a cogeneration plant fueled by sugarcane bagasse. A user-friendly model is proposed to assist in the investment decision making, by estimating its capital and operational expenditures. This model also assists the investment of a Carbon Capture and Storage step, contributing to the sustainability of the bioenergy production.

SABIC is a leading multinational manufacturing company, specializing in the manufacture of petrochemicals, chemicals, industrial polymers, fertilizers and metals. Energy efficiency is a key focus area for SABIC. To close the gap towards achieving 2025 goals, SABIC identified the need to quantify energy losses and execute actions to optimize operations while addressing daily plant challenges.

European refiners face a “dual challenge" – meeting the growing demand for resources and higher standards of living from a growing population while also addressing sustainability goals, reductions in carbon emissions and plastic waste in the environment. View this insightful conversation featuring industry leaders from Eni and MOL Group as they discuss both the challenges and opportunities in the transition to net zero by 2050.

Advanced process control (APC) applications require accurate inputs for stream qualities, including product compositions and distillation curve points. While online analyzers are effective in supporting model predictive controllers, they are expensive and often unavailable for important process streams. There is a more cost-effective approach for building virtual analyzers or inferentials to accurately estimate stream qualities and it starts with digital twins.

Over the past three years, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste has rallied over 90 member companies, allies and supporters who are committed to ending plastic waste in the environment and creating circularity. AspenTech is proud to be one of those members and to have the opportunity to work with some of the world’s leading companies to create and scale innovative solutions for this cause.
