Nissan Chemical Develops Faster, More Accurate Steam Reformer Model Using Aspen Hybrid Models
Case Study Nissan Chemical Develops Faster, More Accurate Steam Reformer Model Using Aspen Hybrid Models TM First principles driven model embedded within Aspen Plus ®Nissan Chemical was looking to optimize its ammonia manufacturing process and reduce operating costs. To do so, they needed to find a model that would enable them to simulate the behavior of a real plant. Their existing reactor model was limited in its applications and they were having difficulty accurately estimating or measuring the temperature distribution in the furnace. 1 Aspen Hybrid Models embedded in Aspen Plus • Combines first principles based simulation models and domain expertise with AI and analytics algorithms, embedded in market-leading process simulator Aspen Plus • Reproduces real plant data f
