aixprocess - The Modelling Company for Process Technology
Founded in 2001 in Aachen, Germany, aixprocess supports process industry operators with data-driven engineering – from initial process analysis to automated real-time optimisation. The team of 25+ engineers brings hands-on experience from 500+ completed projects for clients worldwide, across industries.
Their approach combines physics-based modelling with data-driven AI. No standard solutions – every deliverable is tailored to the specific plant, its available operational data, and the physical behaviour of the process.
Digitalisation, Monitoring & Data Analytics:
Digital readiness assessments, data audits with correlation and anomaly analysis, instrumentation specification, smart sensors, real-time monitoring, quality prediction, and closed-loop process control.
Digital Process Optimisation – AIxperT Platform:
Real-time AI optimisation (RTO) for rotary kilns (KILN AIxperT) and grinding mills (MILL AIxperT) – with a focus on cement processes, scalable from open-loop advisory to fully automated closed-loop control.
Advanced CFD & Engineering Services:
Audits and basic engineering, advanced CFD simulation, process simulation, and technology consulting.
Cyclone Technology & Skids:
Component design and delivery.
XDH Energy - Cement Industry Expert with 30+ Years of Experience
Xavier D'Hubert is a Project Developer with 30+ years of experiences in the Cement, WTE, Boilers & Burner, in general the heavy industries in both European and North American Markets.
He is focusing on:
- Pyro-processing, Burners,
- Complete Alternative fuels processing systems,
- Advanced CFD Modeling - Digital twin plants technology - RTO,
- Process optimization with on-line measurement technologies, sampling & analyzers
- Air pollution controls: CO₂, SCR, SNCR, DSI, dust collectors,
- Flue gas optimization for future CCU systems, WHR, pneumatic transport of materials
After working for PROMECON in the field of Coal Power plant sector, he has reconnected with the company in 2024 to focus on the US cement market where PROMCEON had sold in the past many systems for air flow measurement. He handels different applications for major key accounts, including the Amrize Ste Genevieve MO, plant with one of the largest single kilns in the world. All Vertical Roller Mills, coal, raw meal and finish mills are equipped with two set each of PROMECON McON Air which continuous air flow measurements are used in the advanced process control system of the plant.
