AspenTech advances BPCL's sustainability initiative

Aspen Technology Inc, a global leader in industrial software, today announced that its process simulation and optimization expertise is being integrated with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited’s real-time crude assaying platform to achieve greater agility and more accurate decision-making in feedstock selection, monitoring and optimization of crude distillation units performance. The collaboration is part of BPCL’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.

As part of the collaboration, AspenTech’s process simulation solution, Aspen HYSYS®, and its feedstock optimization solution, Aspen PIMS™, are being integrated into BPCL’s BPMARRK®, a patented technology for predicting detailed refining characteristics of crude oils.

"Refiners often process mix of crude oils, for which accurate assay is not available on real-time basis. Variations in crude quality as well as lack of reliable crude assay information makes the task of real-time optimization extremely challenging if not impossible,” said Mr. Sanjay Khanna, Director (Refineries) at BPCL. “BPMARRK® generates the entire assay within one hour as compared to several weeks through conventional laboratory methods, and it predicts detailed Crude Oil Assay with more than 500 data information of any unknown crude oil within 2-5 minutes making it extremely useful for real-time applications.” Added Dr. Ravi Kumar V., Head (R&D), “BPMARRK® will benefit our community of users with faster and more accurate decision-making for the characterization of crudes and maximize the refinery profitability.”
