This solution brief illustrates the transformative application of Structural Performance Management software to thick-walled reactors, using hydrotreaters, or hydrocracking units (HCUs), as an example.
Among thick-walled reactors, hydrotreaters are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement, the effects of which are nearly undetectable without expert technology to understand the physical behavior of the structure.
By creating a structural digital twin of the reactor, Akselos Structural Performance Management software revolutionizes refinery operations by providing near real-time structural integrity insights to “let the steel speak.” By identifying the impact of specific operating conditions on the steel’s structure, cycle times are expected to speed up by 25 percent.
Explore how Akselos Structural Performance Management software sets a new standard in reactor refinery operations, enhancing asset performance, ensuring uninterrupted operations and extending asset life.
