LG Chem's deployment of aspenONE Advanced Process Control leads to US$4 mln annual operational savings

LG Chem's deployment of aspenONE Advanced Process Control has resulted in US$4 mln of annual operational savings, while also helping the chemical company achieve its operational excellence goals. At the Daesan ethylene facility, the AspenTech Services team's implementation of aspenONE APC delivered a 2% increase in ethylene and propylene production, and reduced total NCC energy consumption 1.5% while meeting plant constraints. LG Chem also realized operational excellence goals with reduced loss of ethylene and propylene, and more stabilized operations compared to previous issues of frequent flooding and product off-specifications.
