アスペンテックジャパン/AspenTech Company Profile

The Aspen Properties database and its supporting development tools have led the industry for the past 40 years by providing thermodynamic properties throughout the entire lifecycle of chemical processes. When Aspen Properties was first introduced to the market in 1983, the online provision of property data for chemistry and chemical engineering brought about a significant transformation in the discovery, development, and operation of chemical processes. AspenTech continues to lead the application of digital properties through innovations such as the continuous addition of new property methods, innovations like the electrolyte property system, strong partnerships with the global research community through close relationships with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), innovations in generalizing workflows that enable users to develop new property models, and improvements in properties related to carbon capture amine systems.

Aspen HYSYS has established itself as a leading process simulator in the oil and gas industry and the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) sector for several decades. Through years of continuous technological innovation, process engineers can gain unparalleled insights from high-precision process simulations. Key features include the estimation of capital expenditure costs (CAPEX) and operational maintenance costs (OPEX), energy analysis using pinch technology, calculation of overall plant emissions, and rigorous simulation of equipment such as reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers in refineries. Additionally, the development of high-precision digital twin models is further enhanced by built-in industrial AI technology. For more details, please refer to the related catalog.

YPF, Argentina's largest oil and gas company with a 100-year history, has begun its transformation efforts in collaboration with AspenTech. As a leader in the regional energy industry, the company has set ambitious goals, including venturing into crude oil and LNG exports and quadrupling its corporate value over the next four years by enhancing the production efficiency of its refineries. [Challenges] - To achieve these goals, it was necessary to significantly reduce operating costs while ensuring the reliability of equipment. [Results Achieved with Aspen Mtell] - Early detection of failures prevented significant damage to critical compressors. - Avoided an estimated 10 days of opportunity loss due to increased vibrations leading to failures, as well as preventing uncontrolled vents that could cause environmental pollution. - The implementation of the system led to an improvement in safety culture, streamlined operations, and promoted proactive problem-solving.
