Creating the right chemistry - Lyondell combines Aspen Technology optimization solutions with Microsoft technologies to optimize decision support

摘要

The business of manufacturing chemicals is complex by nature. It's even more complicated for an enterprise like Houston-based Lyondell Chemical Co., an USD18.6-billion multinational chemical manufacturer that must ensure it is making a profit on each pound it produces anywhere in the world. These factors are behind an ongoing project to create an integrated information solution that will enable Lyondell to make the best decisions about which raw materials to feed to which plants at any moment in time. This network is powered by a combination of production process automation and optimization solutions from AspenTech, and enterprise integration technology from Microsoft.
