The Hidden Cost of Complexity
How do oil, gas, and chemical operators stay competitive when rising energy costs, tighter emissions rules, and complex processes leave no room for error? Discover how ABB Ability™ OPTIMAX® and Advanced Process Control(APC) helps plants turn variability into stability, optimizing energy and process performance in real time.
Across the industry, operators face mounting pressure: unstable processes that drain efficiency, manual systems that cannot keep pace with change, and soaring costs tied to energy use and emissions. Many plants know they could be running better but lack the tools to close the gap.
When operations are managed manually, inefficiencies creep in. Small fluctuations in throughput or energy usage quickly add up to revenue loss. Inaccurate forecasts mean energy demand cannot be met reliably. And with high availability targets, even minor instability risks downtime and rising maintenance costs.
These challenges are common across oil, gas, and chemical plants but they are not inevitable.
