Benefit Targeting Studies

In a UOP Benefit Targeting Study (BTS), we work with you to identify, evaluate and implement improved profit opportunities across the breadth of your operations. Your facility is segmented into functional and technology areas and then, those areas are simultaneously analyzed for hidden potential. This holistic approach allows for the identification of complex interactions that are not inherently obvious. Grounded in the technology fundamentals that are core to UOP, the analysis is driven by economics to facilitate optimal planning, prioritization, and implementation timing. Some typical arenas included in our BTS engagement include:

  • Supply Chain Management
  • Operational Excellence
  • Yield Performance
  • Reliability and Maintenance
  • Management Systems and Procedures

Using our rigorous, proven work process, we will evaluate and identify profit improvement opportunities in three categories:

  • No Cost Solutions
  • Low Cost Solutions
  • Investment Solutions

As part of our work process, we will develop a new (or improve an existing) economic model of the refinery. The economic model will be exercised to identify and quantify opportunities throughout the engagement.

A BTS is not just a study, it is a complete work process. Working closely with your team, we deliver a prioritized action plan that includes a detailed implementation strategy and an on-site support program Our goal is to enable you to rapidly achieve your profit improvement targets.

UOP has executed more than 35 BTS engagements, with most turning cash-flow-positive in less than six months from project kickoff. Our decades of experience in research and development, process design, and operational support are simultaneously brought to bear to identify very real profit opportunities for our clients.
