Van Goethem, M. - Presenter, Technip Energies
Digitalization allows the ethylene plant operators to enhance its day-to-day production, availability and reliability. This is achieved by learning from the past and respond to future changes in market dynamics and operation challenges to realize production and margins.

By applying Technip Energies’ know-how and experience as an ethylene technology licensor and EPC contractor, as well as Arundo’s cloud computation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities, we have developed a valuable digital service that facilitates the improvement of operations, availability and reliability in ethylene plants. SAM enhances the optimization and simulation capabilities of SPYRO by using actual operational data and offering extended visualization, alerts and recommendations.

SAM provides accurate predictions of yield (production numbers versus planned production numbers and expected remaining run length), decoke scheduling, and coil carburization, as well as benchmarking of furnace runs and furnaces.

The environmental module gives insight an GHG emissions and energy consumptions. It also identifies possible GHG reduction options. This is achieved by real-time simulation of furnace operations and a continuous understanding of the furnace conditions, operating parameters, and feedstock. This paper will show the current state of the art of Technip Energies’ digital service. The first experiences with SPYRO for Asset Management will be shared.
