The pilot project was carried out on the basis of a petrochemical enterprise. The main direction is the purification of petroleum products from polycyclic aromatic compounds (PCAs). Purification takes place by extraction in extraction columns.
staff ~ 500 people - annual turnover ~ 1 billion rubles.
The company is part of a large petrochemical holding.
Modern equipment with a large number of sensors is installed at the Customer's production. The collection and storage of technical data are organized. At the time of the beginning of the research, technological data were used exclusively to control the technological process and maintain it within the limits of operating modes.
For five years, the company has been systematically working on increasing productivity and reducing the cost of production by its staff and with the help of external consultants. According to the technologists, they have reached the limit of the performance of their equipment and a further increase is impossible.

The main goal of the pilot project is to assess the possible economic effect of using data analysis of the technical process.
The productivity of the entire production line and the unit cost was selected as the main performance metrics in agreement with the management of the enterprise. Thus, the two main objectives of the project are:
At the same time, the customer has set the conditions of our work:
Analyze technological and economic data on the technological process over the past 5 years. To see how various parameters of raw materials, process modes and external conditions affect the efficiency of the technological process. Based on the analysis, find conditions for maximizing productivity and minimizing cost.
The analysis was carried out according to the standard Cogintech methodology:
