This book addresses the topic of integrated digitization of plants on an objective basis and in a holistic manner by sharing data, applying analytics tools and integrating workflows via pertinent examples from industry. It begins with an evaluation of current performance management practices and an overview of the need for a "Connected Plant" via digitalization followed by sections on "Connected Assets: Improve Reliability and Utilization," "Connected Processes: Optimize Performance and Economic Margin " and "Connected People: Digitalizing the Workforce and Workflows and Developing Ownership and Digital Culture," then culminating in a final section entitled "Putting All Together Into an Intelligent Digital Twin Platform for Smart Operations and Demonstrated by Application cases."

Provides a holistic approach that looks at changing process conditions, possible process design changes, and process technology upgrades * Includes process integration techniques for improving process designs and for applying optimization techniques for improving operations focusing on hydroprocessing units.

Exploring methods and techniques to optimize processing energy efficiency in process plants, Energy Optimization for the Process Industries provides a holistic approach that considers changing process conditions, process design changes, and upgrading process technology that has already been used in a process plant with success.
