石油设备网讯 据世界石油网2022年12月13日报道，全球领先的工业软件公司艾斯本技术有限公司（Aspen Technology, Inc.）12月13日宣布与世界领先的综合能源和化工公司之一的沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）建立合作伙伴关系。这一合作伙伴关系将使艾斯本技术公司引入一种独特的、集成的建模和优化解决方案，使资本密集型行业能够实现碳捕获和利用(CCU)的实用和经济的解决方案。
这项创新的目标将是通过同时考虑经济、工艺设计、操作限制和二氧化碳减排，来确定最有前途的碳捕获和利用路径。它的目标是使企业能够做出基于证据的决策，支持采用优化和加速可持续运营的碳管理战略。
这个解决方案的目标是允许公司优化CCU配置，以确定排放和盈利目标之间的最佳平衡。它还将评估能源成本、碳排放费用、原材料和产品成本等不确定性的影响。
此外，这个解决方案还将制定短期、中期和长期的生产和战略计划，其中包括考虑CCU的最佳选择，以同时实现盈利能力和可持续性目标。
新的解决方案是基于沙特阿美与韩国科学技术研究院(KAIST)合作开发的技术。沙特阿美通过其子公司沙特阿美技术公司(SATC)将该技术授权给艾斯本技术有限公司，作为其优化碳减排更广泛能力的一部分。
沙特阿美研发中心碳管理首席技术专家Aqil Jamal博士表示：“沙特阿美开发的先进可靠的优化算法为用户提供了一个可视化的上层建筑界面，可以直观地制定案例选项和成本曲线。”
艾斯本技术有限公司可持续发展总经理Vikas Dhole博士表示：“我们与沙特阿美的协议表明了技术创新者合作应对确保可持续未来的最大挑战的重要性。”

Aspen Technology and Saudi Aramco to introduce innovative CCU software
Aspen Technology, Inc., a global leader in industrial software, announced a partnership with Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies on Dec. 13. This partnership positions AspenTech to introduce a unique, integrated modeling and optimization solution that will enable capital-intensive industries to achieve practical and economic solutions for carbon capture and utilization (CCU).
It will aim to address the identification of the most promising carbon capture and utilization paths by simultaneously considering economics, process design, operations constraints and CO2 reduction. The goal of this innovation is to enable businesses to make evidence-based decisions in support of adopting carbon management strategies that optimize and accelerate sustainable operations.
The objectives of the solution will be to allow companies to optimize CCU configurations to determine the optimum balance between emissions and profitability objectives. The solution will also evaluate the impact of uncertainty in energy costs, carbon fees, and raw material and product costs.
In addition, it will develop short, intermediate, and long-range production and strategic plans that include consideration for optimum CCU options to simultaneously address profitability and sustainability objectives
The new solution is based on technology developed by Aramco collaboratively with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST). Aramco, through its subsidiary Saudi Aramco Technologies Company (SATC) has licensed the technology to AspenTech as part of its broader capabilities to optimize carbon emissions reduction.
Dr. Aqil Jamal, Carbon Management Chief Technologist at Aramco’s Research & Development Center, said, “The advanced and reliable optimization algorithm developed by Aramco provides a visualized superstructure interface for users to intuitively develop case options and cost curves.”
Dr. Vikas Dhole, General Manager, Sustainability at Aspen Technology said, “Our agreement with Aramco demonstrates the importance of technology innovators working together to address the biggest challenges in ensuring a sustainable future.
