MOSCOW (MRC) -- Aspen Technology, Inc.,
a global leader in asset optimization software, has announced that Hengli
Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery (Hengli), a leading Fortune Global 500 refinery
in China, has chosen Aspen DMC3TM software to accelerate digitalization at its
integrated refining and chemical plant in Dalian, China, as per Hydrocarbonprocessing.
With
this deployment, Hengli can achieve operational speed and sustainability via
patented adaptive process control technology in pursuit of its intelligent plant
strategy.
Ricky Li Xianyou, vice president, Hengli, said: "To strengthen
the company’s industry leadership, Hengli has selected Aspen DMC3 software as
part of the company’s holistic approach to future proof its intelligent plant

Jack Ding, Country manager, China, Aspen Technology,
added: "With a focus on a strong customer relationship, we are pleased to
partner Hengli in the company’s journey to accelerate digital transformation.
Prior to the deployment of Aspen DMC3 software, Hengli was already ahead of the
innovation curve by capitalizing on a suite of aspenONE solutions that can
maximize productivity across the asset lifecycle."
Aspen DMC3 accelerates
optimal deployments in simultaneous process optimization and testing. This
enables the plant to adopt a scalable and sustainable approach via patented
adaptive process control technology. Process manufacturers can achieve real-time
agility and maximize performance in a seamless yet robust manner.
As MRC
reported
previiously, in early November 2020, Invista and Hengli Petrochemical
(Huizhou) reached agreement to license INVISTA’s P8 PTA technology for two
purified terephthalic acid (PTA) lines. These two lines will be installed at
Xiachong, Daya Bay, Huizhou City, Guangdong province, China. The kick-off
meeting was successfully concluded on October 23, 2020, between Hengli, Invista
and CTCI (the engineering contractor).
PTA is used to produce
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used in the manufacturing of plastic
bottles, films, packaging containers, in the textile and food
industries.
As per MRC' ScanPlast, calculated
consumption of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) reached 52,71o tonnes in
September 2020, down 27% compared to the same time a year before. Total
consumption of PET in Russia in the nine months of 2020 reached 530,750 tonnes,
down 22% than the same indicator last year. |
