The smart plants solution takes advantage of the smart equipment modules in order to manage the plant performance for increased safety and asset availability. Besides, it takes into account the interaction of events between different equipment. Take a look at the top five complex events for each smart plant.
Top 5 complex events

- 1. Sudden drop in RON
- 2. Fluctuations in naphta feed quality
- 3. Shift in burn zone temperature profile
- 4. Inadequate recycle gas to feed ratio
- 5. Debutanizer loss of control
