Bite by Bite: Optimize Component Recovery and Energy at Marathon Petroleum Company Using Small-Scale Aspen Technology GDOT™ Applications


Thursday, January 30, 2025 (2pm - 3pm US/Eastern)
GoToWebinar


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.
