Process Optimization
Advances in tank quality measurements can help cut operational costs
New techniques make analysis available in real time
Enhanced methods optimize ownership costs for catalysts
Novel model-based innovation techniques enable simultaneous optimization of catalyst formulations and operating reactors
Control optimization saves money in distillation
A control system simulation with an air-cooled condenser demonstrates a method to reduce operating costs
Consider furnace replacement for existing olefin units
Leading-edge developments enable installing new units instead of revamping existing furnaces
Tune up your supply-chain models
Optimizers prescribe the preferred operation, taking into account supply-chain constraints; analysis of its economic message is required to counter restrictiveness of the model
