        Trends and Topics

        Driving the chemical industry

        What are the current trends in the chemical industry? What drives the industry? What challenges are plant operators facing? We regularly provide insight into current topics.

        Smart data throughout the entire plant lifecycle

        Digitalization throughout the entire lifecycle along with corresponding services provide plant operators in the chemical industry with decisive competitive advantages.

        Growth in figures

        The chemical industry is growing. By 2035, the market is expected to reach around 5.6 billion euros, more than double what it is today. Shorter product lifecycles, difficult access to raw materials, and high customer demands pose tremendous challenges for chemical companies.

        What drives the industry, drives us.

        Decisive factors driving the chemical industry include more efficient processes for commissioning plants more quickly, high productivity, availability and security over long plant lifecycles, and flexible production management. To optimally prepare you to meet these challenges, we offer a wide range of products and solutions all along the value chain. Thanks to digitalization, we can take into account measures during the planning phase already that are relevance for the commissioning, operation and possibly even future modernizations. This creates investment security and reduces the total cost of ownership.


        “We support chemical corporations in achieving more effective, cost-efficient, and sustainable operations with integrated Main Automation Vendor (MAV) and lifecycle management concepts.”
        Miguel-Angel Fernandez, Head of Vertical Chemicals, Siemens AG.

        Any color desired – in smallest charge

        • New Dulux plant in Merrifield has focused on the end-to-end digitalization of all processes for production of approximately 75 million liters of paint each year

        • Simulation platform SIMIT enabled early comprehensive tests and virtual commissioning of automation applications even before the real startup

        • Paperless production, achieved through SIMATIC IT eBR software

        Factory of the future

        • The Solvay/Butachimie chemical factory in Chalampé, France, is one of the world’s largest facilities specializing in the manufacture of polyamide 6.6 and its intermediary products.

        • Investments in future-proofing their facilities resulted in the changeover of all production facilities to SIMATIC PCS 7.

        • To simplify the migration and further optimization, the real plants were tested before their actual commissioning – as a sort of “virtual twin” – using SIMIT simulation software.

        King of Coal

        •  Through the use of Comos engineering software with the Walkinsinde virtual-reality platform, the efficiency of a new crushed-coal pressurized gasification reactor increased by 20%.

        • The SIMIT simulation system helped reduce configuration time by one-fourth.

        • The SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system and XHQ operation intelligent software support safe operation of the plant and systems.
