Goals 

Processing natural gas into LPG, pentane, naphtha, and lean gas is a crucial operation in the energy industry. This study aims to:

• Optimise the process using the Orbital foundation model within the DWSIM simulator, comparing its performance against best-in-class alternatives, including Linear Programming and Ensemble methods. 

• Leverage Orbital’s recommendation engine to optimise for reduced total input energy while maintaining consistent product quality specifications.

Results

• 19.57% energy consumption reduction

• $2,528,656.72 annual cost savings

• 7% yield purity improvement
