Deep Learning Models

Spiro’s deep learning models are capable of modeling complex reaction units, such as ethylene furnaces. The training techniques enforce key constraints like heat and mass balance, ensuring that the resulting models always align with physical principles. Once trained, the furnace model can be reliably deployed in closed-loop operations to optimize furnace severity. It can also be integrated into a broader olefins process model to predict effluent composition for downstream separation models or provide accurate inferential variables used as APC constraints.

Enhanced Decision-Making and Process Optimization

Spiro Digital Twin provides dynamic optimization of refinery and olefins processes, delivering a real-time solution that is continuously updated with evolving process conditions. The key functionalities include:

  • Real-time optimization through online models that solve complex non-linear problems.
  • What-if scenario analysis for predictive decision-making, allowing engineers to test various operational conditions with minimal effort.
  • KPI dashboards that enhance awareness of constraints and optimization opportunities, empowering shift leaders and planners to act on real-time data.

USE CASE

Shift managers and planners on a petrochemical processes rely on a digital twin to make timely, informed decisions that optimize production and maximize profits. At the start of a new shift, the shift leader needs to quickly assess not only the performance of their plant but also the status of any connected processes and storage facilities.

The digital twin helps anticipate the impact of changes in feedstock or inventory and provides recommendations for optimal adjustments throughout the shift. Even factors like the weather forecast can influence these decisions and are incorporated into the model.

By reviewing dashboards powered by validated data from the digital twin, the shift leader can evaluate overall process performance through key indicators such as energy consumption and net carbon emissions. Additionally, data analysis helps predict equipment outages and adjust maintenance plans accordingly.
