2.1 Process Optimization

Our Process Optimization practice combines process fundamentals, process control techniques, and digital tools like simulation and data analysis. • Performance Benchmarking: Pinpointing where value is left on the table. • Technical Validation: Evaluating individual unit operations to verify design intent. • System Studies: Tracing bottlenecks back to root causes in equipment, control strategy, or operations. • Equipment Optimization: Reviewing asset utilization to eliminate mismatched or underperforming units.

• Simulations: Steady-state and dynamic simulations enabling extraction of higher gains. • Advanced Process Control (APC): Decades of successful track record delivering timely APC implementations. • AI/ML & Digital Twins: Blending process knowledge with data science to shift focus from reacting to events to acting on predictive insights.
