CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
BDI helps chemical industries optimize performance, reduce data uncertainty, and stay competitive in global markets.
Digital Transformation is a key driver for the chemical sector, and BDI’s Data Intelligence significantly reduces the uncertainty of your process data. Our solutions enable refineries and chemical plants to compete effectively in global chemical markets.
Leveraging 35 years of industry experience with key players worldwide, combined with top engineering expertise and the integration of Artificial Intelligence, BDI optimizes commodity applications across the sector.
The main beneficiaries of these applications include hydrogen production units, ammonia and urea plants, methanol synthesis units, and similar energy-intensive facilities. Many of these units involve highly demanding processes, so BDI delivers hybrid solutions that simultaneously optimize both process performance and energy efficiency.
A software that makes the difference
VALIPROCESSING© BY BDI
ValiProcessing© is the preferred solution for developing these types of applications. Its models are built on a rigorous representation of the physical and chemical phenomena occurring in the plant, capturing both the processing and utility sides of the manufacturing operations.
For such applications, BDI delivers drill-down reports that allow users to monitor high-level performance parameters against targets or the plant’s best historical performance. Deviations and underperformance are analyzed by examining the trends of contributing parameters, enabling users to trace issues from level to level and implement appropriate corrective actions.
Using reconciled data for performance monitoring and analysis provides consistent, reliable datasets with clearer trends and straightforward traceability of parameter interdependencies. Correlations become easier to identify, as mass and energy balances are closed and performance parameters are no longer dependent on calculation routes—avoiding the contradictory results that arise from unreconciled measured values.
High-level key performance indicators
BDI’s solutions provide high-level KPIs that give operators a clear view of plant performance, such as energy consumed per ton of product, yield efficiency, or steam-to-carbon ratios. By leveraging Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR), these KPIs are calculated from consistent, reconciled data, drastically reducing uncertainty and enabling confident, data-driven decisions that optimize operations and improve profitability.
