THE DATA-INFORMED PATH TO REACTOR OPTIMIZATION

The latest iteration of our Reactor model provides the structural insights to safely accelerate reactor cycles, optimize heat-up and cool-down procedures, and protect your assets from brittle fracture.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF LEGACY REACTOR STRATEGIES

Prolonged Downtime from Conservative Ramping

Conservative heat ramp protocols sacrifice valuable throughput for safety. This unnecessarily limits revenue and prolongs downtime – all without the real insight to prove it’s necessary.

No Visibility into Brittle Fracture & Fatigue Risk

Without real-time structural insight, operators are forced to “fly blind.” This leads to unseen micro-damage from both fatigue and brittle fracture, compromising asset safety.

Missed Opportunity from Static MPT Analysis

Manual, static MPT analysis slows critical decision-making and enforces safe assumptions, limiting your flexibility and efficiency during essential heat-up and cool-down cycles.

New Demands from the Energy Transition

More frequent cycling from green feedstocks accelerates fatigue and fracture risks, pushing reactors beyond original design limits and requiring a new approach to integrity management.

WHAT YOU NOW CAN DO

  • Up-To-Date 3D Asset Modelas-maintained or as-is representation of the asset is updated with the latest inspection data.
  • Fatigue Tracking with Live & Historical Datacontinuous fatigue assessment using both historical (up to 2 years) and live operational data.
  • Real-time MPT Monitoring – track MPT throughout both scheduled and unforeseen start-up and shutdown phases.
  • True 3D Asset Model – accurate and detailed digital representation of your as-designed and/or as-built Hydrotreater Reactor.
  • Full Asset Fatigue Assessment – fully compliant with industry standards (API 579-2021), analyze historical operational data up to 2 years to identify fatigue damage hotspots.
  • Hotspots Identification – enable operator to detect and predict potential structural integrity/abnormally issues to optimize operations and maintenance strategies.
  • Remaining Fatigue Life Prediction – estimate how long your asset can safely operate.
  • Minimum Pressurization Temperature (MPT) Analysis – model and visualize MPT behavior based on historical data (Industry Standard: WRC562).
  • Operation Change “What-if” – optimize heating/cooling stages with predictive MPT simulations, maximizing efficiency.
