Aspen Technology aspenONE Engineering and aspenONE Manufacturing and Supply Chain V9

Aspen Technology recently announced the introduction of aspenONE Engineering and aspenONE Manufacturing and Supply Chain V9 software. This latest release is designed to give businesses in the oil, gas, refining, mining, chemicals, engineering and construction, and other process industries, insights into their processes to help them significantly reduce OPEX and CAPEX costs.

Features of the aspenONE V9 release are said to help push the limits of asset performance, empowering users to design and troubleshoot with confidence, improve reliability by enabling greater insights into process constraints, onboard new users faster and make process safety consistent and continuous throughout the entire asset life cycle.

The enhancements to Aspen HYSYS V9 include updated distillation column analysis, BLOWDOWN technology, improved integration and workflow in the refinery planning model, Sulsim (Sulphur Plant Simulator) Sulphur Recovery, custom modelling enhancements and mercury partitioning capabilities.

Schlumberger and AspenTech have also collaborated to provide the latest link between OLGA software and Aspen HYSYS, expanding asset-wide modelling to maximise production without compromising safety in the upstream.

The aspenONE Manufacturing and Supply Chain V9 updates include the Aspen DMC3 Builder that can increase efficiency by up to 30% by building and deploying all AspenTech APC controllers from start to finish on one intuitive tool.

The Map Monitor in Aspen Fleet Optimizer (AFO) improves scheduler visualisation with an interactive web-based mapping application, providing real-time, accurate information that streamlines fuel distribution.
