aspen Rxfinery
Engineers leveraging the best models to generate substantial benefits.
Aspen Rxfinery is AspenTechs approach to the staged application of rigorous refining models. Offline models can
be used for plant studies and increased planning LP accuracy. The offline models can later be installed online for
performance monitoring and then used ultimately for closed-loop optimization. Quick process studies and
benefits audits at each stage are key features of Aspen Rxfinery.
