The State of the Energy Industry

Closures across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, crude mismatch, tightening biofuel mandates, and geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East are reshaping the refining landscape. Engineers are being asked to do more with existing assets while evaluating entirely new feedstocks.

Datacor has supported refining engineers for decades with CHEMCAD process simulation and hydraulic modeling tools built for exactly these conditions. That is why we put together this executive brief covering:

• Global refining capacity trends across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East
• Distillation unit optimization and energy efficiency gains using CHEMCAD
• How process simulation diagnosed yield loss in a crude unit main column
• Surge and cavitation mitigation using Fathom and Impulse during the KNPC Clean Fuels Project expansion
• Evaluating alternative feedstocks including SAF, e-fuels, and pyrolytic oil before capital is committed
