Optimize, Decarbonize and Proactively Maintain Your Plant

Savings from fewer shutdowns and lower maintenance come on top of this, but are not yet quantified.

Digital twin tested on 13 days of one-minute data from an industrial MDEA unit, at constant treated-gas quality. Steam, CO₂ and value figures are modelled steady-state potential, awaiting a plant trial.

From process control to process intelligence

Make Your Plant Operations Smarter with Continuous Intelligence

QemOPS™ adds an intelligence layer on top of the systems you already run. It turns process data into optimized, reliable operations for amine-based carbon capture and gas treating — improving energy efficiency, reducing CO₂ emissions, and increasing operational reliability.

Applied research

Research that turnsoperational questions into decisions

QemOPS combines plant data, first-principles models and applied research to turn complex process questions into actionable outcomes.

  1. Operational question

    A real problem from the unit: rising reboiler duty, foaming, an unexplained drop in CO₂ capture.

  2. Plant & simulation data

    Historian data lined up against the hybrid digital twin, so measured and modelled behaviour can be compared.

  3. Research-grade analysis

    Fault diagnosis, sensitivity studies and first-principles models, documented to publication standard.

  4. Decision / improvement

    A clear recommendation: what to change, what it is worth and how confident we are.

Current focus

  • Fault diagnosis and root cause in amine units
  • Energy and solvent-loss reduction with the hybrid digital twin
  • Model validation against plant historian data
