Linear Programs, Advanced Process Control and Process Simulation are some of the many tools that are enabling process optimization in a refinery today. What鈥檚 lacking, however, is access to the right information at the right time in order for workers to make more proactive decisions, improving productivity, reducing costs and safety risks. In fact, better information has the potential to unlock an additional $40 billion in value within the industry's downstream sector[i].
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly changing how vast amounts of operational data can be harnessed to provide operators with granular, predictive views into their operations. With AI, operators can make more informed data-driven decisions that optimize complex processes for yield, efficiency and improving reliability 鈥 and to also recommend the most profitable operating settings for a plant. Additionally, AI can adjust those recommendations as the plant鈥檚 charge rate, feed properties or mode of operation changes. It can also calculate important inferred properties that may be infrequently taken or missing from a refinery鈥檚 sample schedule and input those properties into other optimization tools.
With so many opportunities for using AI to improve process optimization, it鈥檚 easy to become overwhelmed with where to get started.
One of the most common barriers we see for companies looking to adopt AI at scale is around standardization (or lack thereof) of operational data.
Industrial companies are often reluctant about kicking off any data-related project and instead focus months, if not years, trying to organize data streams to a 鈥淭.鈥 The problem with this approach is that data is being produced at a faster rate than it can be organized, which means companies will almost never be able to get ahead of the standardization curve.
