Refine Before You Rebuild: How Simulation Keeps Refiners Ahead of Disruption is an executive brief on the forces reshaping global refining in 2026. These include U.S. and European refinery closures, crude mismatch, record biofuel mandates, and the ongoing disruption to Middle East supply. It looks at the U.S., Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, using the latest IEA data, and covers emerging opportunities in SAF, e-fuels and alternative feedstocks. Real-world case studies show how CHEMCAD process simulation and Datacor’s hydraulic modeling tools help engineers optimize distillation units, diagnose yield loss in a crude unit, prevent surge and cavitation in a cooling water loop and a pipeline, and evaluate waste plastic pyrolytic oil before committing capital. The brief is written for refining engineers and decision-makers who need to get more out of existing assets in a volatile market.
