M3 Technology's Petrochemical Solution
M3 Technology’s Petrochemical Solution provides integrated planning and scheduling solutions to the operation of a petrochemical plant. The planning solution covers corporate to plant planning and is widely used for feedstock selections and quality predictions:
- Making multi-site scheduling data across the supply chain available to share with marketers, buyers, managers, and plant personnel for making time-constrained decisions on opportunity feedstocks, changing product demands, or unit processing modes (e.g. cracking or decoking in the ethane furnace).
- Planning activities across the enterprise on a single user-interface to integrate data from multiple sources, improve data comprehension, and increase outcome visibility.
- Optimizing product movements in the supply chain to minimize costs.
The scheduling solution addresses major activities in a petrochemical plant:
- Scheduling feedstock upload, storage, and tank transfer and scheduling the feeds to processing units to manage inventory.
- Scheduling processing units, while accounting for production yield, quality, and reaction processes.
- Optimizing blends of feedstocks and products for multiple periods to comply with equipment limitations, improve yields, and minimize cost and quality giveaway.
- Scheduling blending and shipments of final products to meet lifting schedules.
- Scheduling receiving and shipping docks or terminals with considerations for constraints in weather, traffic, vessels, berths, and inventories.
These planning and scheduling activities are integrated in an enterprise solution to facilitate communication and enhance coordination and cooperation. The solution’s functions are accessible from user-friendly interfaces.
