AFPM Webinar - Marathon Petroleum Using Small Scale Aspen Technology GDOT
2025-01-30 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual, United States
Register for the Bite by Bite: Optimize Component Recovery and Energy at Marathon Petroleum Company Using Small-Scale Aspen Technology GDOT™ Applications | American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers Webinar.
At Marathon Petroleum Company, Galveston Bay Refinery, our vision is to become world-class in the real-time optimization of distillation towers, considering tradeoffs among routing of valuable components and the cost of energy in separation. Critical features of the GDOT™ technology for use in these applications include component-based template models, the ability to handle nonlinearity, and the use of true economic optimization. Especially important for the application to naphtha and light-ends systems is the use of data-reconciliation to estimate unmeasured or infrequently qualities, such as the tower input stream compositions. GDOT™ optimization identifies the ideal operating points of key composition variables or stream properties and sends targets to the existing DMC3™ controllers.

Please join us for a webinar on February 20th at 2:00 pm Eastern, which will explain how to submit your PSE data to AFPM & API. During this webinar you will learn:

How to submit your annual API RP 754 PSE Data
Helpful tips for data entry
Review of changes to the spreadsheet structure:

Release fields have been condensed to decrease the number of columns in the spreadsheet. There are fields for secondary release categories, but these should be used with discretion.
A new guidance tab has been added for the use of secondary release categories.
There are two new columns at the end of the event entry tab that show the Event Description as enter in Column I and a summary of the event characteristics entered.

The streamlined process for submitting your PSEs into Event Sharing

OPEX Webinar: AI Plant Control: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Process Optimization
2025-02-27 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual, United States
Register now for the AFPM Webinar: AI Plant Control: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Process Optimization
Artificial Intelligence Plant Control (AIPC), leveraging Reinforcement Learning (RL), offers a transformative approach to process plant optimization, addressing key limitations of traditional Model Predictive Control (MPC). Continuous improvement in plant profitability and safety demands an integrated approach, combining all digital tools for Advanced Process Control. Robust safety mechanisms and validation procedures are essential to prevent undesirable control actions. There must be a tight integration between various automation applications, such as procedural automation, AIPC, basic process control in DCS, and Safety Instrumented Systems. This webinar discusses insights from AIPC implementation at Air Separation Units, involving complex cryogenic distillation and heat integration processes.
