Competitive pressures in the petroleum industry prompt refiners and upgraders to apply increasingly more sophisticated tools to optimize their operations. Process optimization also has energy efficiency and environmental implications.

Process modeling involves the development of a breakthrough technology that allows consistent and comprehensive descriptions of various refinery and upgrader processes for the purpose of optimization. Our process modeling activities take advantage of advanced characterization methods, as well as a revolutionary mathematical cat-feed hydrotreating model, both developed and tested at NCUT. We currently provide services in off- and on-line process optimization.
