Independent expertise for refineries
Refineries run some of the largest and oldest control systems in industry, and many APC applications on them are running in manual or on stale models. We quantify what your controls should be earning in $/bbl, energy, and yield, then help you extend system life, close safety gaps, and stop overpaying on service agreements.
Flagship service: APC & Industrial AI Optimization. APC health checks and AI optimization benefits studies across crude and vacuum units, FCCs, hydrotreaters, and reformers, with a vendor-neutral recommendation on DMC3, Profit Suite, DeltaV, or AI-based optimizers. Fixed fee or gain-share.
