The Challenge: Adapting to Change, Optimizing Plant Performance

Across the process industries, companies are challenged with global economic growth, constantly changing market conditions, and pressure to reduce time-to-market. As the cost of crude oil and energy continues to escalate, oil & gas producers, refiners, and E&C firms must creatively reduce capital and operating costs and increase engineering efficiencyall in an effort to maximize plant performance and profitability.

The AspenTech Solution: Better Simulation Streamlines Engineering

Fundamental to improving performance of the plant or enterprise, or even the extended supply chain, is an accurate representation of the basic processes. Companies need a solution that enables them to gather that information and build the models required to optimize enterprise performance. Aspen HYSYS provides the solution to meet this need, solving the critical engineering and operating problems that arise throughout the plant lifecycle. The process simulation capabilities of Aspen HYSYS enable engineers to rapidly evaluate the safest and most profitable designs through quick creation of interactive models for what-if studies and sensitivity analysis. These models can be leveraged throughout the plant lifecyclefrom conceptual design to detailed design, rating, and optimizationsignificantly reducing engineering costs and enabling better operating decisions. Other benefits include: Improve engineering productivity Ensure accuracy and timeliness of engineering designs Provide engineering support to plant operations Integrate with other aspenONE Process Engineering solutions to provide a common engineering workflow for the refining, E&P, and E&C industries
