The batch processing industries have numerous opportunities to improve process development and batch operations. In this webinar, Dr. Michael Call, process modeling consultant for Lubrizol, discusses the successes and challenges experienced when applying process simulation to improve specialty chemical batch processes. Examples are discussed, with emphasis on the value added through process modeling, how modern process modeling tools facilitated model development and how similar successes can be achieved within your organization.

Widely used in various chemical manufacturing processes, inferential property models enable improved control by providing estimated properties in real-time. During this webinar, one of Dow Chemical’s APC engineers will discuss the practical application of inferential models as feed forwards in Aspen DMCplus® to manage the inventory of a reactor where the composition and flows into the recycle feed change over time.

Possessing the data is one thing; however, understanding your data and its value is something different. Join ARC Advisory Group and AspenTech for a webinar to learn how to leverage your data using transformational technologies to drive operational excellence with manufacturing execution systems (MES). Janice Abel of ARC will lead an interactive discussion around key technology trends, benefits and innovations and what’s important in the process industries.

Distillation columns are troublesome units, representing one of the biggest operational challenges in the processing industry — primarily because internal conditions are dynamic and there is limited operational insight into their behavior. Offline and online advanced process simulation offers engineers and operators powerful process engineering capabilities for column analysis. With operations-oriented columns troubleshooting, you can gain insights into key processes and enable faster problem-solving.

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.

Aspen HYSYS® Hydraulics for pipeline network modeling allows engineers to analyze flow assurance risks and integrate analysis with process models to optimize from the wellhead through the process facility. This technical webinar will be focused on introducing new users to pipe flow hydraulic analysis. Learn how you can gain pipeline hydraulic insights with an intuitive setup that is powerful, advanced and integrated.

Crude Distillation Units (CDU) are one of the most critical units impacting a refinery’s profit margin. Refiners have found it challenging to optimize their CDU operations as the complexity of the unit has kept them from simulating the entire unit in one piece. However, with new ‘equation-oriented’ technology in Aspen HYSYS, refineries can build a robust integrated model of their crude distillation column and pre-heat train network. View this webinar and learn how you can improve your CDU operations today!
