AVEVA Process Optimization

AVEVA Process Optimization leverages real-time and offline process and economic data to ensure maximum operating profit while complying with regulatory standards. It enhances plant performance with equation-based optimization, using first-principle simulation to provide precise operating information, empowering operators to make swift, informed decisions.

This technology is crucial in aligning operations with economic objectives, potentially increasing profits by $0.05 to $0.25 per barrel throughput, often recouping its cost in under a year. Beyond optimization, it offers performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and engineering studies to further refine operations.

Designed for real-time, nonlinear optimization of continuous processes, it uses first-principle simulation and data reconciliation to secure sustainable performance and increased ROI. It facilitates offline ‘what-if’ scenarios via an interface based on Microsoft Excel and flowsheets, useful for procurement planning and assessing process modifications.

Its Real-time System (RTS) offers an integrated, graphical environment for automating optimization and reporting. Users can define complex event sequences for closed-loop optimization without intervention, scheduling tasks dynamically based on conditions like achieving steady state.

Results visualization, using embedded web page reports and the Intelligence application, provide quick access to key performance indicators and vital operations data. Its integrated modeling combines heat and material balance simulation, data reconciliation, error detection, economic optimization, and performance monitoring into one user-friendly system.

The tool's advanced capabilities allow managers to swiftly respond to market conditions, energy costs, and equipment performance, minimizing the learning curve and accelerating economic benefits with its equation-based optimization engine suited for large-scale processes.
