Aspen OnLine®
Online closed loop real-time optimization (CLRTO)
Aspen OnLine enables the online execution of an Aspen Plus® equation-oriented model for
continuous online, closed-loop profit optimization. The integration
between the optimizer and Aspen DMCplus® is seamless. At the
end of each optimization cycle, optimized setpoints are
communicated to Aspen DMCplus
automatically. Aspen OnLine is a core element of AspenTech’s
aspenONE Advanced Process Control applications.
Features
- Determines plant operating conditions that will maximize any
objective function you specify, including process yields, energy
usage, stream purities, and process economics
- Connects Aspen Plus models to online plant data for real-time
optimization
- Utilizes Aspen
CIM–IO™ to access DCS or plant databases
- Built-in integration with Aspen DMCplus
- Uses a rigorous process model to drive the process
profitability
Benefits
- Provides robust convergence for real-time solutions with models
complex enough to address true unit economics
- Enables users to leverage engineering knowledge gained from
process models into the plant operations environment
- Faster diagnosis of deteriorating or abnormal operation
- Allows you to compare current to optimal operation,
benchmarking, etc.
- Provides quick response to feed/product price changes
