Our Key Associates Group has been formed by engineering professionals from operating, engineering, and service companies. We believe the experience, training, and expertise gained over the years by our team is a marketable commodity.  

We make use of the extensive operational experience to offer our customers integrated and proven solutions. Software and optimization programs are only as good as the personnel who utilize them.

Keys to Simulation and Optimization

1.    An emphasis on performance and reliability.

2.    Solutions that have a proven record of success.

3.    Consultants that understand the operational side of the business.   

Areas of Simulation and Optimization

1.    Distillation - Typical projects see energy reductions while maintaining constant product purities.

2.    Energy Utilization - One of our projects saw a 7% energy reduction - target would be at least 3%  (2008)

3.    Feed Stock Evaluation - Producing the same amount of product with less feedstock = 100% profit.  In two different projects we have see large reductions in feedstock to product ratios.  (2003) (2008) 

4.    Process Utilities - One of the areas that tends to be overlooked, yet is chemical and energy intensive.  One project reduced utility chemical cost 35%. (1998)
