Aspen Technology Inc announced that Tisza Chemical Group (TVK), a leading petrochemical producer in Central Europe is implementing aspenONE Advanced Process Control applications at two major new ethylene and polyethylene plants.

These applications will enable TVK to improve the financial returns from the two plants by maximizing production, increasing yields, reducing waste material and improving product quality.

“TVK's petrochemical development program has helped the company become one of the largest polymer producers in Central Europe, and AspenTech's Advanced Process Control applications will enable us to improve the financial performance of our new facilities,” said Mr. Árpád Deák, Petrochemical Technology & Project Development Director, TVK.

“We selected the integrated aspenONE applications over competitive offerings because of their best-in-class technology, and the industry knowledge and experience provided by AspenTech's ethylene and polymers specialists.”

The aspenONE Advanced Process Control for Chemicals application applied to the new Linde-design ethylene plant combines advanced process control (APC) and real-time optimization (RTO). This optimizes throughput by pushing the process to multiple constraints simultaneously and holding it there safely.

The optimum operating point is established by the RTO solution which utilizes an on-line rigorous process model that is constantly updated by real-time operating data. The on-line model canalso be used off-line to allow process engineers to perform operational excellence studies, such as de-bottlenecking and what-if studies.
