    The research work is being carried out at the Petronor refinery in Muskiz

    TECNALIA is working with PETRONOR on the research and development of a series of machine learning tools for the digital transformation of its refining process. One of PETRONOR’s strategic goals, as a company of the REPSOL Group, is the development and adoption of digital technologies as a base to increase the sustainability and efficiency of its production process.

    The OIL TWIN initiative aims to determine and characterise the deviations between the planned and real production, and, on the other hand, infer product quality based on process control magnitudes.
