Frequent changes in refinery operating conditions cause planning models to fall out of sync with actual conditions, making them less reliable. At the same time, updating these models is complex, often forcing refineries to turn to expensive third-party consultants. 

Join our experts to discover how the latest innovations in Industrial AI and Aspen HYSYS® process simulation can help you: 

• Reduce the time and effort needed to update planning models 

• Maintain model accuracy for a longer period of time 

• Update models in-house, without having to rely on costly third-party consultants 

A Q&A session will follow so please come prepared with your questions.
