About the webinar

Join TrendMiner  and guest speakers from Mallard Creek Polymers (MCP) for a hands-on session that moves beyond theory. Learn how to turn everyday process data into actionable insights that boost efficiency, quality, and daily production across your chemical operations.

What you’ll discover

  • Batch Cycle Reduction – Reduce processing times by 10-20% per batch by identifying and standardizing "Golden Batch" parameters.
  • Stripping Unit Optimization – Isolate the key drivers of efficiency, such as jacket temperatures and steam flowrates, to ensure every batch hits peak performance.
  • Rapid Historical Analysis – Learn the specific filtering and variable comparison techniques used to analyze 5 years of process data in just 3 hours.
  • Long-Term Validation – Discover how to sustain results with a proven workflow that has already validated 500+ batches without the need for extra processing.
  • Operational Visibility – Move from tribal knowledge to data-driven decision-making using advanced visualizations like event analytics and scatterplots.

Why watch?

  • See real-world solutions to common batch variability challenges—no fluff, just proven approaches from the MCP success story.
  • Gain step-by-step workflows for monitoring, deviation analysis, and rapid root-cause discovery.
  • Leave with practical tactics that chemical engineers, data analysts, and plant managers can apply immediately to increase daily throughput.
