Building on the significant improvements to the 2024 Worldwide Aromatics Plant Performance Analysis (Aromatics Study), Solomon continues to invest in preparation for the 2026 study. This investment will bring improvements that will enable participants to identify potential opportunities to increase operational efficiency and gain the insight needed to advance aromatics complexes, maximize gross margin, and therefore increase overall profits.
Gross Margin Maximization
The 2026 Aromatics Study is taking an in-depth review on your conversion unit yield results. By reviewing molecule placement, the Aromatics Study can help maximize high value aromatics production. Tie this with a review of your facilities’ feedstock characteristics and the Aromatics Study can now provide deeper insights to maximize your facilities’ gross margin potential.
Facility Kit Energy Intensity
The 2026 Aromatics Study will begin collecting information on high energy consumption equipment. By comparing each piece of your aromatics kit against its relative benchmark, you are able to concentrate your resources on areas with the maximum impact.
The aromatics industry has been transformed over the past decade: world-scale capacity has been redefined, improved technologies have been adopted, regional supply and demand balances have shifted, and climate-related sustainability factors are adding increased pressure to the industry. Gain a competitive assessment of your aromatics facilities compared to global aromatics industry performance trends and specific performance gaps to guide improvement initiatives in these changing times.
