Aspen Technology, Inc.

Aspen Technology, Inc., is the leading supplier of integrated software and solutions that enable process manufacturers to automate and optimize their plants. The Aspen Engineering Suite™ (AES), a core AspenTech technology, optimizes the innovation and engineering work processes including conceptual process design, process engineering, detailed engineering, plant start-up, and plant operations. The value from the AES process modeling, synthesis, and design technology comes from its ability to analyze and integrate the entire process flowsheet consisting of dozens or hundreds of equipment items. Companies use AES to examine process alternatives, reduce energy consumption, reduce capital costs, evaluate process control strategies, and improve knowledge management.

AspenTech and Fluent are working together to integrate CFD-fidelity equipment models in the context of AspenTech's overall process models to enable companies to develop superior plant designs and to optimize existing plants. The AspenTech-Fluent initiative enables manufacturers to see how each individual plant asset impacts overall plant performance and efficiency to ensure that designs and analyses are based on consistent and complete data.
