Aspen Plus process simulation software

Mitsubishi Chemical was facing difficulties in detecting and resolving product quality issues on schedule in specific polymer processes. Therefore, they found an opportunity to address these issues by collaborating with AspenTech. By using Aspen Hybrid Models, the company's process engineers were able to create robust and high-performance models that accurately predict quality issues and support preventive measures. 【Value Created by Adopting AspenTech Products】 • Detection and avoidance of potential quality issues • Significant reduction in on-site sampling work • Shortened time to realize operator value For more details, please refer to the related catalog.

Due to the increasing market demand for functional resins, the demand for high-value-added products from Kaneka Corporation has significantly increased. To respond to the rising demand, Kaneka needed to rapidly expand production. 【Value Created by Adopting Aspentech Products】 • Improved productivity of existing facilities by 2% without additional capital investment • Minimized the number of prototypes using commercial plants • Reduced engineering time by 3 months For more details, please refer to the related catalog.

Nissan Chemical Corporation is considering modeling an ammonia plant and conducting a study on cost reduction, initially focusing on steam reforming. The company has struggled to accurately model processes and assets using existing rigorous reactor simulations. This requires temperature profiles of process fluids, and accurately estimating or measuring the temperature distribution within the reactor has been challenging. Due to such constraints in conventional models, the company wanted to try a different approach. Ultimately, they chose Aspen Hybrid Models and Aspen Plus based on first principles. 【Twice the speed】Build models that surpass conventional ones more quickly 【Up to 1%】Cost reduction rate achievable through optimization of steam input 【Improved accuracy and sustainability】Enhance predictive insights through the use of AI For more details, please refer to the related catalog.

As part of the technological development aimed at realizing a carbon-neutral society, the chemical industry is considering the transition to low-carbon raw materials such as bio-based feedstocks. Additionally, by applying biosciences used in various fields such as healthcare, agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fisheries, there is also the possibility of changing processes from traditional chemical reaction processes that require high temperature and pressure to more environmentally friendly bioprocesses. This document introduces how to utilize the newly added bio-based raw material database in Aspen Plus V14 and how to handle bio-reaction (biochemical reaction) processes. It also presents efficient methods for conducting feasibility studies and process design for bioprocesses, which have seen a rapid increase in demand recently. [The following functions are introduced] ■ Bio-based raw material database ■ Bio-reaction (biochemical reaction) ■ Economic evaluation of bioprocesses ■ Case studies using sample files For more details, please refer to the related catalog.
