CUPM: Crude Unit Process Manager
Operations engineers are increasingly burdened with routine tasks such as rate performance, energy consumption, equipment reliability, safety, reporting, turnaround planning, etc. As a result, engineers have difficulty recognizing, prioritizing and troubleshooting performance problems in a timely manner. There is simply too much to do and very little time to do it. Does this sound familiar?
Invensys SimSci-Esscor proudly offers Crude Unit Process Manager (CUPM) a unique model based solution designed to help process engineers improve their unit’s performance. CUPM allows you to take control and drive your crude unit to greater profitability. This new concept in on-line management systems will help turn your unit into a predictable, controllable system that runs more efficiently than ever before. You can now fully see and understand what is happening inside the crude unit equipment. CUPM will provide you an intelligent, actionable list of tasks to prepare for or avoid problems, leading you to higher efficiency and greater profits.
CUPM Benefits
CUPM can be delivered and in place at most crude units in about a month. So, in just one short month you will have:
- Reduction in operating cost by 2-5%
- Increased throughput of 1-2%
- Increased engineering productivity by 5-10%
- Improved Maintenance efficiency by 3-5%
CUPM can deliver a consolidated process report that pulls information from various sources and combines them with advanced reconciliation and simulation analysis. The results, including KPI’s, are presented in a clear and easy to understand Excel based interface (shown below) that can be customized to an individual’s requirements.
