Chemicals & Petrochemicals
In today’s chemical and petrochemical industry landscape, it can be challenging to manage sustainability, operational risks and identify the right opportunities to create value for your organization.
The chemical industry is resource intensive in raw materials and energy use, as well as a source of emissions and waste, and is being faced with outside pressure requiring them to improve environmental footprint. These challenges come on top of process complexities which can lead to inefficient use of assets and resources. While at the same time, supply chain issues and ever-changing safety and sustainability regulations are constantly challenging operations productivity. The industry must address these challenges while ensuring a safe way of operating assets. dss+ industry knowledge and owner operator experience provide the platform to improve the operations across this spectrum.
