HTRI, a provider of research, software and services to the thermal process industries, has acquired SmartPM from IHS Markit, a business information provider.
SmartPM is monitoring data analysis, modeling and predictive maintenance software for heat exchanger networks, which includes methodology for optimizing refinery preheat train operation. It enables oil refinery operators to better manage and reduce maintenance, improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions and operating costs.
“We are extraordinarily pleased to add this highly regarded software tool to our expanding portfolio of products and services designed to predict, analyze and mitigate crude oil fouling, one of the costliest problems facing the refining industry today,” said Claudette D. Beyer, HTRI’s president and CEO.
SmartPM, a performance analysis and predictive maintenance tool for preheat trains and heat exchanger networks, joins HTRI’s Edgeview consulting service and applied research program as part of HTRI’s ongoing commitment to addressing key industry problems.
