Streamline Refinery Operations for Improved Performance
Aspen Unified Scheduling™ offers a comprehensive solution to schedule refinery operations effectively, leading to enhanced production performance. By aligning the schedule with the optimal plan, refineries can achieve higher margins, reduce emissions, improve quality, and enhance stability. This software enables users to leverage industrial AI to create feasible schedules that incorporate optimal plan results and valuable knowledge from schedulers, ultimately closing the gap between plan and schedule. Automation features save time and streamline the scheduling process, resulting in improved margins and reduced emissions.
Optimize Blends and Improve Margin Performance
The Aspen Refinery Multi-Blend Optimizer (MBO) within Aspen Unified Scheduling™ allows refineries to optimize blends across a longer time horizon, enabling higher margins and reduced quality giveaway. By utilizing this tool up to one month in advance, refineries can ensure the most efficient use of blend stocks. The MBO has been a leading blend optimizer in the industry for years, now available through Unified Scheduling to drive improved performance and profitability.
Enhanced Model Development and Implementation
With Aspen Unified Scheduling™, users can easily develop and implement scheduling models based on their existing Unified PIMS model. This capability allows for seamless data and model linkage between planning and scheduling processes, facilitating a more integrated approach to refinery operations. By aligning data and models, refineries can enhance their scheduling efficiency and accuracy, leading to improved operational stability.
Stable and Reliable Refinery Operations
Operating a refinery more stably and reliably is made possible with Aspen Unified Scheduling™. The software enables users to predict and communicate unit rates, yields, stream compositions, and inventory levels, providing valuable insights to run refineries at optimal performance levels. By enhancing communication and forecasting capabilities, Aspen Unified Scheduling™ empowers refineries to achieve operational excellence and improve overall production efficiency.
