Safety and regulatory compliance are time-consuming elements of conceptual and basic engineering. With the Chemical Safety Board scrutinizing process safety today, it is more critical than ever to incorporate safety analysis within your process modeling environment. Doing so allows organizations to confidently achieve compliant pressure relief and flare network designs at the lowest cost, and remove bottlenecks during the FEED and pre-FEED stages of capital projects.

Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are driving new asset optimization opportunities across the process industries. In this new report, ARC Advisory Group analyst Peter Reynolds describes how AspenTech is enabling greater asset performance by putting these important tools in the hands of people who actually design, operate, and maintain plants. Learn how AspenTech is changing the industry paradigm by focusing on industry-specific IIoT applications that deliver the most value.

Hydrogen and carbon capture have become focal points as energy and chemical companies look to reduce emissions and achieve net-zero carbon targets. But what’s the best approach?

The evolution of IIoT and advanced analytics technologies is transforming how industrial companies of all sizes manage their critical assets. In this report, ARC Advisory Group describes how AspenTech Asset Performance Management delivers prescriptive maintenance solutions to process and other capital-intensive industries.

Learn how to simplify and improve your petroleum refining simulations using multi-unit engineering models. With the availability of a complete suite of refinery reactor models, accurately model all of the refinery reactors in the easy-to-use Aspen HYSYS® Petroleum Refining software.

Discover the power and flexibility of Aspen IP.21 with aspenONE Process Explorer and how it allows you to use your existing metadata, while reducing tag consumption.

A recent ARC Advisory Group survey of 365 industry practitioners revealed that two-thirds of respondents believe reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) isn’t improving reliability, and that operations has as much impact on plant asset performance as the maintenance organization.

Frustrated designing your column or understanding how process changes will affect your distillation unit operations? Many non-ideal distillation systems cannot be modeled accurately with equilibrium-based modeling. Rate-based modeling provides a more rigorous modeling approach for complex systems. Once tuned, rate-based models can yield better predictions at extrapolated operation conditions.

Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating (EDR) enables you to find the optimal design for your heat exchanger needs based on cost. The seamless integration between the thermal and mechanical design tools of Aspen EDR and process simulation tools from AspenTech enables analysis of several different alternatives before presenting you with the most optimal design. Use this tutorial to get started using Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger to create, evaluate, and save designs.

Rigorous heat exchanger models enhance the fidelity of process flowsheets enabling you to reduce CAPEX, OPEX, and energy consumption. This guide teaches you how to convert simple heat exchanger models to rigorous models in Aspen Plus.
