The Challenge: Adapting to Change, Optimize Business Performance

Across the process industries, companies are faced with global economic challenges, dynamic market conditions, and pressure to reduce time-to-market. With continued volatility in hydrocarbon and energy prices, 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 and business 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. Aspen HYSYS provides the solution to meet this need, providing vital insights for 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 to detailed designs, performance rating, and optimizationsignificantly reducing engineering costs and enabling better operating decisions. Other benefits include: Improving engineering productivity Reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions Minimizing capital and operating costs Improving product yields and quality Optimizing plant operations by calibrating models with real data sets Supporting Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) policies and regulatory compliance Integrating with other aspenONE Engineering solutions to provide a common engineering workflow for the Refining, Midstream, E&P and E&C industries
