Optimized the operation and decoking cycle of the ethylene cracking furnace. Achieved an annual revenue improvement of 50 million dollars!

"gOLEFINS" is an online monitor that accurately estimates the operational state of the furnace by acquiring information such as the outlet temperature of the reaction tube in the cracking furnace using a highly reliable model. It allows for the understanding of increased pressure loss due to coke accumulation and decreased heat transfer rates, enabling operational adjustments based on highly accurate predictions. This optimization of the operational conditions and decoking cycles of the cracking furnace has led to real examples of annual revenue increases of tens of millions of dollars. [Benefits] ■ Optimization of decoking through accurate end-of-run predictions ■ Optimization of operational margins for each cracking furnace ■ Continuous updates to the cracking furnace model through dynamic optimization of the entire cracking furnace *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

It is a cutting-edge platform for the management and optimization of utilities. It explores and presents better economic utility plans even for complex utility systems.

In the plant, various utilities such as fuel, electricity, and steam are consumed, which fluctuate constantly through multiple routes. Process plants can produce their own steam and fuel, and in the case of electricity, they can also sell it externally. The energy unit of each utility varies hourly, and factors such as maintenance of major equipment lead to daily fluctuations, making the issues even more complex. gUTILITIES finds precise optimal solutions while considering the current utility demand, utility unit costs, and availability, allowing for the identification of appropriate operating conditions even for complex utility systems. Cutting-edge optimization algorithms can search for and present better economic utility plans compared to traditional tools. High-speed optimization solvers can explore more options in a shorter time, thereby improving the efficiency of the energy management team.

For process development, optimal plant design, and operational optimization studies! Simulators for the oil, gas, and chemical industries.

In plant design, equipment sizing, process consideration, and operational optimization, PSE believes that existing process simulators still have room for improvement in terms of convergence for obtaining numerical solutions, constraints of processes they can handle, and customization of process models (model extensibility). The process simulation software developed to meet the needs for more advanced and value-added process plant design and optimization is 'gPROMS Process'. 【Features】 * Libraries for specific applications * Creation of flow sheets using Drag & Drop * High-precision custom model creation and editing functions using gPROMS language * Changes in settings within the same environment from steady-state simulation models to dynamic simulation models * Powerful optimization solution search and analysis functions * Global System Analysis (GSA) * High-Performance Computing (HPC) ★ You can view two "case study materials" available for download. These include examples of achieving high-value product offerings and cost reduction through batch process optimization, as well as successful cases of cost reduction through the optimization of entire plants.

[Speaker] Kazuharu Yamamoto Partner Expert, Roland Berger Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In the automotive industry, the topic of EVs is ever-present. The advancement and promotion of EVs is a significant goal for achieving carbon neutrality (CN). On the other hand, the realization of CN and the progress of EVs are inseparable topics related to the realization of a circular economy (CE). In this lecture, I will present an overview of CE and CN, discuss the mechanisms of CE progressing in Europe, and the reverse supply chain, while also addressing the expansion of EVs and charging infrastructure from a consumer perspective. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of CE and CN in the automotive industry and EVs 2. Mechanisms for achieving CE in Europe 3. Expansion of EVs and charging infrastructure (Characteristics of Japan within the global context) 4. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mitsune Shirasawa, Partner Attorney at TMI General Legal Practice [Key Lecture Content] The regulations that must be complied with when implementing payment businesses are defined by various laws, and it is common for the applicable laws to change due to subtle differences in the schemes adopted. Therefore, when building a business related to payments, it is essential to have not only an understanding of individual laws but also a cross-sectional understanding of how these laws interact with each other. Additionally, recent developments such as the categorization of money transfer businesses, the introduction of regulations regarding stablecoins, the clarification of payment collection services, and the emergence of new schemes like BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) and BPSP (Business Payment Service Provider) have led to significant advancements and complexities in payment-related businesses. Thus, this seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of the current regulations surrounding payment businesses and their practical responses. [Lecture Topics] 1. The environment surrounding payment legislation 2. Keywords related to payment and regulatory compliance 3. The overall picture of laws and regulations surrounding payments 4. Points to consider when building a business / When to consider potential conflicts with financial regulations 5. How to obtain permits and licenses related to payments 6.
