Structural Performance Management · Refining
Akselos connects operational decisions to asset behavior across critical refinery infrastructure — helping teams improve safety, increase profitability, and strengthen resilience.
Operating windows stay constrained even when more capacity exists.
Stress, fatigue, and remaining-life questions take too long for daily decisions.
Inspection scope expands because risk concentration is unclear.
Assets are replaced early because structural uncertainty enters capital planning.
Every refinery is a network of critical steel operating under pressure, heat, cycling, and changing duty. When one constraint is solved, the next bottleneck can appear somewhere else.
SPM creates a live, physics-based view of how operating conditions affect structural performance across the site — so teams can make better decisions from the control room to the boardroom.
Explore SPM
Understand how operational conditions affect asset behavior before risk becomes visible in the field.
Increase uptime, improve throughput confidence, and reduce unnecessary OPEX.
Adapt to changing operating conditions without creating new structural risk.
Plan inspection scope, maintenance windows, and capital timing based on how assets actually behave.
At this WEF GLobal Lighthouse site, Akselos delivered the #1 ROI site-wide – more than the next four digital technology combined.

Critical asset lifetime
Annualized CAPEX
A physics-based structural twin of your critical asset, millions of degrees of freedom, solved in seconds, not overnight.
Feed it real operating data. Temperature, pressure and rate changes become stress, fatigue and remaining life – continuously.
Operations and integrity share one truth: exactly how much structural margin every decision spends. and what it’s worth.
SPM shows how ramp rates affect stress, fatigue, and brittle fracture risk — so teams run faster cycles with confidence.
SPM connects cycle behavior to fatigue accumulation, bulging risk, and remaining safe operating life.
SPM helps teams understand how firing intensity, temperature, and operating profiles affect creep damage and tube life.
SPM helps prioritize where structural and sealing risk requires attention.
Build the business case on a single unit. Scale SPM into a site-wide structural decision layer your control room and your board both trust.
