Watch how real-time simulation helps BASF manage complex grids without adding hardware or disrupting operations.
Maintaining efficiency across large, complex utility grids is no small feat, especially when infrastructure spans underground networks and decades of legacy systems.
At BASF’s Antwerp site, the team faced a unique challenge: managing the flow, pressure and temperature of brackish cooling water across a vast, aging system, without physical upgrades or downtime.
Watch the video to see how BASF uses a physics-based, executable digital twin powered by Simcenter to simulate and optimize system performance in real-time.
By integrating billing data from each plant and applying insights from engineering simulation software, BASF gained the ability to detect system instabilities early, improve operational reliability and avoid environmental risk from biocide discharge.
