Orbital Unlocks 25% Efficiency Improvements in Simulated Distillation Process
28 Aug 2024
Goals
The alkylation of 1-butene to produce octane and dodecane is a common refining process in the petrochemical industry. This study aims to:
Optimise the process using the Orbital foundation model within the DWSIM simulator, comparing its performance against best-in-class alternatives, including Linear Programming and Ensemble methods.
Leverage Orbital’s recommendation engine to optimise for reduced total input energy while maintaining consistent product quality specifications.
