Petrochemical industry
Maximizing refinery margins through process intelligence.
Sector Overview
This sector involves refining crude oil and gas into fuels, base chemicals, and intermediates. Central operations handle cracking, isomerization, and stream separation. While advanced control systems are widely deployed, the sector remains responsible for roughly 6% of global emissions. There are over 600 refineries and thousands of derivative plants globally.
Key Drivers
Price Volatility
High energy prices, particularly in the EU.
Margin Protection
Pressure to maintain profitability amid high operational costs.
Sustainability
Push for low-carbon packaging and emission audits.
Innovation
Digital initiatives supported by specific decarbonization funding.
