Whether particles are being formed, reduced in size, enlarged, participating in reactions, or just being separated from a fluid stream, ignoring or poorly modeling the solids processing steps may lead to lost opportunities, including cost reductions and quality improvements. The main challenges that arise when optimizing or troubleshooting a solids process include inefficient designs due to separate modeling of fluids and solids sections, overdesign of equipment, high-energy demands, reduced yields and quality variability. Modeling the solids section of a process is important for many common processes including specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, metals and mining, pharmaceuticals, biofuels and more. This paper describes the approach for incorporating granular solids and the corresponding solids processing steps when modeling processes.

Asset Performance Management (APM) technology, predictive and prescriptive analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) can play an important role for the food and beverage processing industry. In fact, no other industry is better suited for an approach that provides more lead time for critical maintenance decisions.

Today’s industries face mounting challenges in assuring the best operational performance of assets, both mechanical and process. Managing asset performance is the key element of controlling the operational risk that varying situations can present.

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.

Six tips are offered that speak to the strengths of ACCE: Eliminated manual tasks, automates repeated tasks, handles change management, leverages historical content and starts the estimating process leveraging conceptual engineering.

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.

Enhance mine-to-mill-to-metal operations with cutting-edge technologies that drive production increases, cost savings and increased safety for employees, the community and the environment. Learn how machine learning in AspenTech’s asset performance management solutions helps ensure reliable operations, enhance process efficiencies and increase mineral recovery.

See how the results of BLOWDOWN Technology in Aspen HYSYS compare with published results.

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.
