Learn how you can eliminate the need to employ separate third-party tools for pipeline hydraulics by modeling the entire gathering and production system (be it offshore, onshore, topside, etc.) within one tool. Using this new pipeline hydraulics modeling capability, you can optimize the design from a capital and energy perspective, and also ensure the overall safety of the system.

Learn how the robust control functionality contributes to a useful reduction in maintenance cost and helps extend times between revamps for APC controllers.

Digital technology such as cloud computing is transforming the way companies do business. By deploying cloud technology, energy and chemical companies can efficiently process scenarios needed to mitigate business risk even faster. Download this white paper to learn more about the benefits of deploying Aspen PIMS-AO in the cloud and the competitive advantage it provides.

How do contractors and owners manage risk in today’s environment? There is intense pressure to understand estimating uncertainty and deliver better designs and lower bids. By reading this white paper you'll understand new ways to deliver bids faster and increase transparency with respect to estimate risk and uncertainty.

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.

This paper discusses digital transformation in the oil patch. It explores how upstream industry leaders are capitalizing on the explosion of data and how, in particular, merging rigorous process models with both analytics and data visualization can help achieve a competitive advantage. It also reveals how innovations from AspenTech are helping to lead the way toward asset reliability and profitability.

Why APC should be implemented on secondary units. Includes sections on environmental emissions control, fuel gas networks control and optimization, sulphur complex control and steam networks control.

With new insight into the hydraulic performance of trays and packing you can make better decisions for more efficient column design, operation support and troubleshooting. This white paper compares the results of the new functionality to KG-TOWER and Sulcol software, as well as experimental data. 

Dehydration units are often overdesigned, resulting in high capital or operating costs. In order to ensure design options meet the necessary requirements of saving capital, solvent or energy costs, thermodynamic modeling and a holistic view of operations is needed. This paper discusses the dehydration modeling technology available with Aspen HYSYS in V10 and above. Aspen HYSYS has historically employed the glycol property package for TEG. With the addition of the Cubic-Plus-Association (CPA) package in V10, Aspen HYSYS can be used to model dehydration with TEG, MEG and DEG.

This whitepaper shows how refineries can employ effective heat exchanger cleaning strategies, by leveraging the integration between the technologies for process simulation and rigorous heat exchanger design.
