Hydrocarbon Processing - October 2022 - 56B

BEST AR/VR/AI TECHNOLOGY
Application of AI technologies and data-driven decision
system in manufacturing for improving gasification
operation and reliability, Reliance Industries Ltd.
Reliance developed a data-driven decision system, based on AI
and explainable AI, to improve gasifier operation and reliability.
Factorial Kernel Dynamic Policy Programming (FKDPP),
Yokogawa
Jointly developed by Yokogawa and the Nara Institute of
Science and Technology, FKDPP is the first reinforcement
learning-based AI system that can be utilized in plant
management. It can be used to autonomously control chemical
plant operations, ensuring product quality and energy savings.
Forecast 360™, Symphony Industrial AI
This all-inclusive process performance management solution
combines process condition insights, performance metrics
and process history to enable operators to self-optimize
operations. This capability provides producers with assets that
continuously adapt to demand, variations in supply, process
deviations and human factors.
BEST ASSET MONITORING
TECHNOLOGY
AMS Asset Monitor with AMS Machine Works Software v1.7,
Emerson
This software is an online, continuous condition monitoring system
that offers maintenance and reliability personnel an affordable,
flexible solution for monitoring the health of a plant's assets.
Honeywell Forge Corrosion Advisor |Predict®-Crude, Honeywell
Predict®-Crude enables accurate quantification of corrosion
due to naphthenic acid and sulfidic corrosion in crude refining
operations.
Integrated Corrosion Management System for a Refinery
and Petrochemical Complex, Reliance Industries Ltd.
Reliance has built an integrated system to monitor, mitigate
and remedy corrosion within operations. This includes a team
to monitor and inspect for corrosion, incorporating digital
technologies for predictive maintenance and analysis on
high-risk areas for corrosion, among others.
OpreX Asset Health Insights, Yokogawa
OpreX AHI is a cloud-based plant asset monitoring service that
collects, refines, models and aggregates data from distributed
assets. The service enables customers to easily model and
manage data based on the plant hierarchy defined by the
ISA-95 standard. It is equipped with AI and machine-learning
analytics capabilities.
BEST ASSET RELIABILITY/
OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGY
High-Velocity Thermal Spray (HVTS),
Integrated Global Services
HVTS is a robust solution that extends the life of existing
equipment. HVTS cladding upgrades existing metallurgy
to higher alloys and acts as a corrosion/erosion barrier in

mission-critical equipment, including boilers, process vessels,
towers and columns.
Largest coker unit reliability enhancement and expansion
with uninterrupted operations, Reliance Industries Ltd.
This project involved replacing eight coke drums at Reliance's
facility without shutting down coker operations, which would
have been prohibitively expensive. This included the use of
two of the world's largest coke drums that were used while
the coke drums were replaced.
LUMINAI Refinery Advisor, Beyond Limits
Luminai Refinery Advisor is a cloud-based decision support
tool that guides refinery operators to hit production planning
targets and improves reliability in operations and startups.
BEST AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY
Advanced process control system in LDPE,
Reliance Industries Ltd.
For the first time, Reliance incorporated advanced process
control in a 2,400-barg pressure tubular reactor in its lowdensity
polyethylene (LDPE) plant. This supervisory control
system monitors and regulates the existing distributed control
system controllers for a safe and reliable operation.
ftServer, Stratus Technologies
ftServer is a fully integrated, continuously available hardware
and software solution for running tier-one business critical
workloads and edge applications. The 11th generation
Stratus ftServer, released in 2021, incudes features to
scale performance and provide maximum flexibility when
deployed in edge environments.
PlantESP Plus, Control Station
PlantESP is a control loop performance monitoring (CLPM)
technology that facilitates the identification and isolation of
issues that undermine production efficiency and throughput.
In August 2021, Control Station released PlantESP Plus, an
enhanced version that equips users with advanced statebased
analytics and addresses known limitations within
other CLPM offerings.
Plantwide Optimizer, Honeywell
Devised as a novel type of primary advanced control (APC)
controller, Plantwide Optimizer inherits a yield-property
model from the planning layer and acquires operating
constraints from the secondary APC layer, driving true sitewide
optimization in a closed loop. This effectively addresses a
long-existing gap between planning and control as the plan
generated is often not the one implemented.
BEST CATALYST TECHNOLOGY
Fourtitude™ FCC Catalyst, BASF
This new technology is an FCC catalyst designed to maximize
butylenes from resid feedstocks.
Reliance Olefins Removal Catalytic Technology
(REL-ORCAT), Reliance Industries Ltd.
REL-ORCAT is a zeolite-based adsorbent for bromine index
reduction in aromatics. It is regenerable, less costly and has
a better lifecycle.
