PERFORMANCE IMPACT
Accelerate reactor cycles safely while protecting structural integrity:
- Reduce shutdown and startup time by up to 25%, increasing throughput.
- Enable real-time visibility into stress and strain during thermal cycles.
- Deliver over 15x ROI within twelve months through optimized operations and risk-based inspections.
CLIENT PERSPECTIVE
With Akselos’ accurate modeling and operations dashboard, we can now start up our reactors faster and with greater confidence. The software demonstrated that we could safely save several hours on each startup, significantly improving our efficiency.
THE CHALLENGES
Reduce lengthy reactor shutdown and startup cycles causing weeks of lost production annually.
Replace outdated, overly conservative MPT curves and generic thermal ramps.
Determine safe cooling and heating limits without risking structural damage to heavy-walled reactors.
OUR APPROACH
Akselos applied Structural Performance Management (SPM) to heavy-walled reactors, using structural twins to provide real-time visibility into stress and strain during shutdown and startup cycles. The platform replaced conservative MPT-based thermal ramps with physics-based structural analysis.
With actionable insights from the SPM operation dashboard, the operator safely accelerated cooldown and startup sequences. This reduced reactor cycle time by up to 25% while maintaining compliance and delivering a projected 15x ROI within twelve months.
