Anselm

Problem and implemented solution

Over the past decade, the Anselm team has been developing such an automated tool and implementing it in the Russian oil and gas industry. Determining the energy efficiency and CO2 reduction potential of energy-intensive industries has never been simpler and more accurate. ANSELM Software Ecosystem employs innovative systematic scientific methodology for profitable decarbonization of heat-intensive industries. Using BIG DATA and AI tools, we automatically, quickly, and accurately identify the potential for energy efficiency and CO2 reduction in the oil industry and propose cost-effective technical measures to minimize environmental impact. Today, our industrial software helps refineries identify potential in real time, without requiring human resources, and our technical team has developed dozens of detailed designs that prove the accuracy of ANSELM estimates, resulting in stunning improvements in refinery energy efficiency and generating millions of dollars in additional profits for owners. Akin to Carl Linnaeus, who classified the flora and fauna of our planet, or Dmitry Mendeleev, who described the fundamental relationships between chemical elements, our international team of scientists created ANSELM − a unique system of indicators and algorithms to identify and prioritize all ways to improve the energy efficiency and reduce emissions of any facility operating with heat exchange cycles − with highest economic viability. With over 120 years of combined industrial experience and scientific research in energy efficiency optimization in the context of refining, our team is confident that no other approach used worldwide will match the output of ANSELM. This is a breakthrough in increasing energy efficiency on a global scale. ANSELM calculates the energy efficiency potential of the entire facility, addressing the key questions:By how much (%) could the efficiency of each process unit be improved? If improving the efficiency requires investment, would such projects be economically viable? Are there any other units, where similar investment could yield a larger economic effect? Lack of such key information leads to mistakes in strategic planning which cost many millions of dollars in long term. ANSELM answers the main questions top management and shareholders have: where to invest, how much, and what the economic effect will be

Description of competitive advantages

Sustainability: reducing the carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency directly affects the company's performance and ESG rating, paving the path of sustainable development and net-zero Decarbonization: ANSELM reduces Scope 1 CO2 emissions by an average of 30%, making progress towards net-zero and lowering the emissions that needs to be sequestered Insight: the "blind zone" around energy efficiency projects is excluded Ease: does not require an expensive instrumental survey of the units for decision-making Convenience: analysis can be performed remotely and in real time without any operation disruption, all our projects are developed on a turnkey basis Speed: full primary examination completed in 1-3 months Completeness: decision-making is carried out on the full range of activities and directions, improving investment planning by directing funds to most profitable projects Assurance: all our energy efficiency projects bring guaranteed profits and are equally applicable on modern and outdated equipment Structure: a project map structured according to energy, emissions, and economic criteria is formed Objectivity: our calculations use verified digital data on process flows and equipment parameters, exclude human error, and fully reflect the actual situation Reliability: all our reduction of energy consumption and emissions projects are verifiable and backed by scientific research and economic justification Support: we provide full support, including assistance with obtaining initial data for calculations, digitizing documentation, providing a list of reliable contractors and equipment suppliers for the implementation of projects Benchmarking: relative indicators of energy efficiency potential allow to compare across full range of scale, from single equipment to units and assets of the company as a whole
