Content Inside: Chemical & Petrochemical IBU Plantelligence in the Chemical Process Industry The Chemicals Business AspenTech’s Chemical and Petrochemical IBU focuses on the Petrochemical segment through bulk chemicals and continuously produced fine chemicals except for polymers. Generally speaking, the petrochemical segment is the olefins industry along with some co-products of the refining process. Feedstock to the olefins segment can be either gas (ethane, propane) or liquid (refining co-products like gasoils and naptha plus natural gas liquids like butane). This characteristic of flexible feedstock, along with the high volumes in a typical olefins plant, are perhaps the two most important things which make the olefins industry a prime candidate for multi-million dollar benefits from Plantelligence.
