Predict Yield. Optimize Performance.
Every day your hydrocracker runs, a decision gets made with only part of the picture, and the margin from the rest of it disappears quietly.
Silos Cost You Yield
Operations, logistics and commercial each optimize their own piece. None of them sees the whole one.
Decisions made in isolation. Margin left on the table.
From Data to a Decision You Can Act On
We connect what you already have (historian data, planning models, contracts, shipping constraints) into one model of your unit. It predicts the yield impact of a decision before it's made, and ranks the options. Your engineers review every recommendation before anything changes. Nothing acts on its own.
See It Working
What your engineer sees: the option, its predicted yield impact, and how confident the model is. What happens on approval: the change is logged, and the outcome is tracked against the prediction.
A simplified, illustrative schematic of the flow our model connects to, not your unit's actual configuration or P&ID.
The Opportunity (Modeled)
Assumes 300 operating days per year. “Crack-spread capture” is the portion of the distillate crack spread realized by shifting yield toward higher-value product, not the full market spread itself. These are modeled ranges from stated assumptions, not a result we've achieved for any client. Your unit's actual numbers will differ. We model them specifically once we see your data.
Embedded, Not Consulted
Our engineers work inside your operation, not from a slide deck.

Who We Are
Let's look at your unit.
A 3–4 week POC costs far less than the margin you're already losing.

Who We've Worked With
“They tied together data sources that had never talked to each other before, and gave us real-time visibility into our trading decisions and the margin impact behind them. That turned into a strategic advantage, not just an operational one.”
Regional Director, Large US-based export refinery
“What stood out was the review step — every recommendation came with the reasoning, and our people made the call, not the model. And they moved fast: we had something real in front of us in weeks, not a quarter of scoping meetings.”
