Nalco Champion, an Ecolab company, in collaboration with Accenture and Microsoft Corp., has launched a new digital platform – Refined Knowledge^™ powered by ECOLAB3D^™ – to provide downstream refinery and petrochemical customers with insights from their operations to help predict and solve challenges across the assets in their organisations.

Refined Knowledge collects data from remote sensors, automation tools and other systems using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. It synthesises that data and provides performance dashboards, reports, benchmarking capabilities and an eROI^™ calculator to help customers optimise how assets are used and reduce their total costs of operation.

Accenture, in collaboration with Nalco Champion, built a modern analytics application for the platform that uses a user-first and cloud-first approach. The two companies also collaborated on the end-to-end solution, bringing data into the platform so users can visualise business insights and run advanced analytics.
