A major integrated energy company has been using Aspen PIMS since 1996 for production planning and optimization of single and multiple refineries. In 2021, they conducted a thorough evaluation of competing solutions available in the market and chose Aspen Unified PIMS, which exceeded all technical and economic requirements. By using Aspen Unified PIMS, the company's planners can share information more quickly and easily on a single Unified server, eliminating the need to archive models or send attachments via email or shared drives. This has particularly improved multi-site modeling, as planners from different locations can easily collaborate within the Unified environment, displaying individual refinery models on flow sheets and verifying product flows. "One of the biggest advantages of using Aspen Unified PIMS is the solver. It excels in execution speed, reliability, and stability, allowing for repeated searches for global optimal solutions." – Senior Process Engineer, Major Integrated Energy Company For more details, please refer to the related catalog.
