Lubrizol was compelled to double its production capacity for intermediate product processes and decided to redesign its continuous and batch hybrid processes from scratch. In doing so, we will introduce how we solved the challenges using AspenTech products. “Aspen Plus provides a variety of tools that meet our needs, including steady-state, dynamic, reaction modeling, heat exchanger design, and cost estimation. Moreover, these tools are integrated with each other.” – Michael Cole, Process Modeling Consultant, Lubrizol For more details, please refer to the related catalog "Lubrizol's Use of Aspen Plus Case Study on New Process Development: Time Reduction."

Qenos, which wanted to offer custom products to the market ahead of its competitors, adopted AspenTech products and shortened the plant experiments for a new product grade. “One of the major advantages of modeling batch processes is that it allows us to understand what is happening as reactants are consumed and the polymer changes over time. Without a model to show what is happening, we would have to rely on trial and error and experience to determine the batch recipe, but operating in such a manner is not permissible.” – James Smith, Qenos For more details, please refer to the related catalog "Innovation Fast Track: Saving Time and Costs in New Product Development."
