2022 is around the corner and you need to drive results from the get-go. Large enterprises like yours are often challenged by siloed organizations & decision support systems while trying to solve an end-to-end optimization problem. With Increasing volatility in the market, integrated decision making through improved cross-functional awareness is the need of the hour.

Plant-wide optimizer enables consistent orchestration of various functional silos that will help organizations optimize Product Inventories, Quality & Timing in the most profitable way.

Plant-wide optimizer delivers end to end optimization through three results-oriented guiding principles:

1. Speed & agility - Optimize every minute by using dynamic models resulting in real-time feedback & precise control.
2. Comprehensive Scope - Manage inventory & deliver optimal material routing across the enterprise by integrating process optimization with planning, blending operations.
3. Feasibility of Solution -Delivers near real-time optimization with integration from planning down to managing constraints on each individual unit by using patented concepts of around key decision variables.

Register for this live webinar to learn how you can leverage Plant-wide optimizer to deliver a combined multi-scale optimization solution across your enterprise.

With an increased focus on climate change and energy transition companies are pivoting to more sustainable operations raising questions such as: 

• What are the top drivers influencing actions to reduce CO2?
• Which metrics are being used to monitor sustainability?
• Will your CO2 reduction strategy provide a competitive advantage?
• Which technologies are you investing in to address greenhouse gas emissions?

These are just a few of the questions that we asked in an online survey to better understand the strategies and actions industry leaders are taking to meet their sustainability goals.  Early results show that half of the companies surveyed believe that investing in sustainability will provide them with new business opportunities.

Please join Lee Nichols, Editor in Chief of Hydrocarbon Processing, as he hosts a lively discussion with Dr. Robert Socolow, Carbon Mitigation Expert, Princeton University, and Ron Beck, Energy Industry Director, AspenTech. Together, they’ll discuss the research findings and provide their own unique insights.

he battle to reduce carbon emissions is rapidly gaining momentum with global regulations and legislation for heavy industry. This momentum has pushed carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) innovations into the spotlight. These CCUS technologies are already lowering costs and transforming industry. But - how does your industry know what is the right solution for you?  

Join Carbon Clean's Director of North America, Glen Bailey with the panel of experts. In this 1-hour session they will discuss:

• Outlook on ambitions and strategy for decarbonization
• Role of carbon capture within the industry’s overall strategy
• A view on government policy and its effect on emission reductions

Don't miss this opportunity to take part in this crucial conversation - register for free today to learn how heavy industry can achieve CO₂ emission reductions with Carbon Clean.

Over the past several years, the world has witnessed significant downstream capacity growth in all sectors of the downstream hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decline in demand for fuels and certain petrochemical value chains. As governments start to ease lockdown measures, how has the global capital expenditure market been affected and what are the major trends for the rest of 2021 and beyond?

During this live webcast, Lee Nichols will provide a mid-year update on capital projects around the world, as well as major economic, environmental and political market trends that are shaping and influencing the industry in the near-term.

This abbreviated seminar (or webcast) is a distillation of our 7-hour Professional Development Seminar previously conducted at the AFPM Reliability and Maintenance Conference. It summarizes the testing and research that determined the two main reasons that heat exchangers develop leakage, and the materials and procedures that have been developed to offset these problems. It discusses optimal gasket seating stresses, tools for analyzing the operational gasket loads, and also discusses permissible flange conditions. It ends by showing how these developments in heat exchangers can lead to better gasket materials and procedures for pipe flanges.

Over the last decade, industry has gone through a major shift in resource availability, technology advancements and people efficiency. So too have the perceptions that operators have on what is the key challenge or threat to the success of their business. 

From a recent customer survey, equipment obsolescence, aging workforce, and availability of parts are no longer the top challenges when considering upgrading and/or modernizing their industrial control systems.

Instead, business expectations and industry initiatives are most influential.

Questions that we see operators ask now, include:

• Is our infrastructure sustainable and what is its environmental impact?
• Are we attracting the best and brightest talent to capitalize on our digitized evolution?
• How resilient are we to environmental factors, supply chain upsets, and unforeseen global pandemics?

Join us as we discuss this new framework and consider how to achieve tomorrow’s business expectations of remote operations, real-time and artificial intelligence, using today’s systems, existing infrastructure and intelligent software and services.
