AspenTech (aspenONE)
Process modelling and optimization for heavy process industry.
AspenTech's aspenONE suite is the long-standing standard for process simulation and optimization in oil & gas, chemicals and refining. It spans steady-state and dynamic process modelling, energy and utilities optimisation, and increasingly machine-learning hybrid models. Engineers use it to debottleneck units, cut energy per tonne of product, and run what-if analysis before changing live operations.
