AspenTech Announces Availability of aspenONE® V8 Process Optimization Software
Delivers New Aspen HYSYS®, Solids Modeling Within Aspen Plus®, New Aspen PIMS™ Platinum and Aspen Collaborative Demand Manager™, and Breakthrough Innovations in Advanced Process Control, Energy and Economic Analysis
With aspenONE V8, new and occasional users become proficient faster, and experienced users can do more. This is critical for process industry companies facing workforce development and skills shortages. Usability and visualization enhancements in aspenONE V8 also enable users to collaborate more easily, shortening project times and increasing productivity.
Highlights of the new products and innovations in aspenONE V8 include:
aspenONE Engineering
A new
Solids modeling integrated within the simulation environment. The integration of recently acquired SolidSim technology into Aspen Plus eliminates silos between previously disparate solids and liquids modeling processes. This makes it possible to optimize all chemical processes together for the first time.
The new “Activate” feature in Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS. This industry first in process optimization allows process engineers to find energy and capital cost savings faster. Through activated energy, process engineers can quickly identify ways to change designs to reduce energy, saving design time and future operating cost. Employing activated economics, process engineers can apply science rather than intuition to ensuring the best use of capital.
aspenONE Manufacturing & Supply Chain
New “Adaptive Process Control” in aspenONE APC. This new functionality automates many of the tasks that traditionally required control engineering resources. With Adaptive Process Control, process manufacturers can sustain advanced process control performance by making maintenance a continuous process.

“The
New HYSYS looks great and is a step ahead in terms of ease of use. The
innovations that AspenTech has introduced in aspenONE V8 will help
Sriram Ramaganesan, Director, APC, Valero
“The new Adaptive
Process Control is game changing technology. We achieved the objective
of obtaining quality data without unduly disturbing the process or
sacrificing economic objectives. The operators hardly noticed there was
a step test going on. I think this technology will greatly improve our
ability to work on multiple units in parallel.”
“Aspen
PIMS Platinum changes the way that planners can make decisions, making
it faster and easier. The post solution analysis capability has been
significantly enhanced with this new set of features including 2-D or
3-D graphs. Seeing the LP solution space visually is a sea-change in
planning analysis and should result in better plans and greater
profitability.”
“Activated
analysis in Aspen Plus V8 makes it very easy to see key performance
indicators including capital and operating costs, energy demand, and
carbon footprint. This feature maintains awareness of key cost drivers
and helps guide better decisions.”
“We
have been using Aspen Plus and SolidSim to model the fluids and solids
sections of our processes. The integration of SolidSim into Aspen Plus
enables us to design and optimize the entire process with one simulator
and consistent physical properties.”
Manolis Kotzabasakis, Executive Vice President, Products, AspenTech
“Our
product teams are passionate about developing breakthroughs in process
software, finding new ways for customers to optimize their operations.
aspenONE V8 extends the boundaries of process optimization; our
customers are very excited by the value it is already delivering. As we
continue to make aspenONE software easier to use, more process industry
professionals will be able to work together to make faster and more
profitable decisions for their companies.”
