Use Cases

Debutanizer Column (Distillation Column) monitoring

Effective monitoring of a debutanizer column is essential for maximizing the LPG content in the top product and optimizing overall distillation performance. Continuous monitoring of the C4 fraction in the bottom products ensures process efficiency and quality control. Implementing a predictive model to estimate the butane fraction in the bottoms enhances performance by allowing for real-time adjus...

Use Cases

Heat Exchangers Performance Monitoring

Predicting the end-of-cycle (EOC) for a heat exchanger due to fouling is a persistent challenge for refineries. By proactively forecasting when a heat exchanger requires cleaning, refineries can implement risk-based maintenance planning, optimizing processing rates, and reducing operating and maintenance costs. Historically, engineers had to manually combine data entries in spreadsheets, spending ...
