Navigating the Energy Transition with KBC Petro-SIM by Yokogawa

Comprehensive Mapping, Modeling, and Monitoring for Emissions Reduction

KBC Petro-SIM by Yokogawa offers a comprehensive suite of trusted modeling tools that allow for a detailed understanding of emissions from assets down to the equipment level. By mapping the process and energy demand at a granular level, including heaters, boilers, and turbines, emissions can be quantified, prioritized, monitored, and eliminated through solutions like electrification, hydrogen firing, reduced flaring, and carbon capture. Dashboards provided by KBC synthesize and distribute information and targets for remote real-time analysis.

Structured Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions

With KBC Petro-SIM, a structured approach is taken to achieve net zero emissions. The process involves a balance between quick, low-investment momentum for emissions reduction and carefully planned transitions for each asset or group of assets. This strategy allows for 'no-regret' decisions initially while providing the necessary understanding and information for future options that may carry higher costs and risks. Baseline data gathering and calibration of process and utility maps are crucial steps in the early wins towards emissions reduction.

Optimizing Refinery Groups for Emissions Reduction

KBC Petro-SIM works with refining hubs to optimize emissions reduction potential by looking at the system as a whole rather than individual plants. By sharing information effectively, KBC enables a combined system of systems approach where each plant can meet production objectives while collectively minimizing emissions. This holistic optimization involves efficient use of energy systems, production capacities, and logistics to achieve significant emissions reductions.

Expert Testimonial on Energy Efficiency Improvement

Vikas Singh, a Process Simulation Expert, highlights the value of Petro-SIM in modeling energy demand and supply connections for detailed emission analysis. The simulator allows for quick evaluation of reduction options across different emission scopes with economic impacts considered. This capability helps in de-risking future plans and investments towards achieving Net Zero targets.
