ADIPEC 2025 drew a full house, and Diamond Key International (DKI) was proud to be part of the conversation shaping the future of downstream operations.
At the Downstream Technical Conference in Abu Dhabi, Jonathan Samuels from Diamond Key International Group and Jacopo Bianchi from Cool Sorption, a proud DKI subsidiary, delivered an insightful session on the application of Digital Twin technology for Vapour Recovery Units (VRUs). Their presentation highlighted how digitalisation is redefining efficiency, sustainability, and performance management across the downstream sector.
From Data to Smarter Decisions
The session showcased how Digital Twin technology enables operators to move beyond traditional, reactive monitoring towards a more predictive and proactive approach. By combining real-time operational data with advanced analytics, Digital Twins provide deeper visibility into VRU performance and vapour behaviour.
Key capabilities discussed included:
-
Real-time data integration from sensors and control systems
-
Predictive analytics and simulation modelling
-
Minute-by-minute vapour generation forecasting
-
Continuous performance monitoring and optimisation
Together, these capabilities allow operators to anticipate issues, optimise performance, and make evidence-based decisions with confidence.
Driving Measurable Impact
The outcome is a shift in how emissions recovery systems are managed. With Digital Twin-enabled VRUs, operators can better control emissions, reduce downtime, improve compliance, and unlock long-term operational efficiencies all while supporting decarbonisation goals.
This approach, powered by Cool Sorption’s VRU expertise and DKI’s digital solutions, represents a meaningful step forward in modern emissions management.
A Proud Moment for the DKI Group
The session was well supported by the DKI leadership team, with Lily Chen, CEO of Diamond Key International, and Nitin Gupta, Head of VRU Business Stream at Cool Sorption, present to support the team and connect with industry peers and local partners throughout ADIPEC.
Their presence reflected DKI’s ongoing commitment to digital transformation, collaboration, and innovation within the downstream energy sector.
Looking Ahead
As digital technologies continue to evolve, Digital Twin-enabled VRUs offer a powerful way for operators to enhance performance while meeting increasingly stringent environmental and operational requirements.
