Join Akselos at RefComm Galveston to see how refiners are using Structural Performance Management (SPM) to understand the true structural limits of critical assets.

Refineries operate under extreme conditions where structural limits often define operational limits. Units such as cokers, furnaces, reactors, and pressure vessels are pushed to run harder and longer, often with limited visibility into how the steel is actually behaving.
Nearly 60% of US refineries were built before 1980, meaning operators must deliver higher utilization and longer asset life using infrastructure that is decades old.
Preventing unplanned downtime and safely extending the life of critical units like cokers and reactors has become a major operational priority.

Structural Performance Management (SPM) uses structural twins powered by Physics-Based AI to monitor how refinery equipment behaves under real operating conditions.
By combining real-time process data with structural modeling, operators can detect high-damage coker cycles early, run units closer to their true limits, and extend asset life while reducing unplanned shutdowns.
Featured Presentation | When Every Cycle Counts: Early Warning for High-Fatigue Events
Delayed Cokers are among the most critical — and failure-prone — assets in refining.
A single abnormal coking cycle can cause 10–100× more structural damage than a normal cycle, erasing years of service life in just hours.
Conventional monitoring methods typically detect these high-damage cycles only after the damage has already occurred, leaving operators with limited options to protect drum integrity.
This presentation shows how Structural Performance Management (SPM) detects high-damage cycles as they begin to develop by combining real-time process data with structural performance modeling.
