AVEVA’s Integrated EPC 4.0 Solutions to Drive Digital Twin for New Greenfield Refinery

HOUSTON, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software driving digital transformation and sustainability, today announced a strategic partnership with Meridian Energy Group Inc. (Meridian) to develop a digital twin for the first full-conversion refinery built in the U.S. since 1976, and the first modern “greenfield” advanced technology refinery constructed in the U.S. ever. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing technological innovation and environmental stewardship in the refining industry.

Meridian has selected CONNECT, AVEVA’s industrial intelligence platform, and a series of EPC 4.0 solutions to create one unified, data-centric approach for the engineering and project execution of their new Davis Refinery. Meridian’s executive team, comprising decades of experience in plant engineering and operations, is the driving force to their adopting innovative technologies that overcome traditional project barriers and disparate systems. With AVEVA’s EPC 4.0 solutions, engineering data is no longer siloed, bringing real-time visibility across the engineering and design stage to procurement and construction, improving final handover and time to operational readiness.

“I am thrilled about our partnership with Meridian where we see a momentous opportunity to bring our time-tested software solutions to the table,” said Rob McGreevy, Chief Product Officer at AVEVA. “This project aims to design one of the world’s most advanced and environmentally compliant refineries, and we’re committed to not only meeting industry standards but to support the refinery’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions.”

A cloud-hosted, data-centric strategy serves as a unified platform where all engineering disciplines and stakeholders converge. By seamlessly integrating diverse engineering tools, it provides an integrated viewpoint that enhances project efficiency and transparency from start to finish. This collaborative approach not only facilitates early risk identification and proactive mitigation, but also empowers stakeholders with progressive handover capabilities. This enables them to effectively navigate and prevent the typical CapEx pitfalls that traditional operating facilities often face, ultimately optimizing project outcomes and operational success.

Mark Fonda, Meridian’s Chief Technology Officer, added that “AVEVA has provided an optimum framework to develop our strategic plan for transition of the refining industry to lower carbon intensity utilizing both renewable and traditional feedstocks. This project represents a quantum leap in technology implementation which is only made possible as a greenfield facility with a forward-thinking mindset.  Digital technology is the means by which all facets of the project are developed and implemented, creating a collaborative, synergistic environment for all disciplines throughout the entire lifespan of the project.”

Jay Nocker, Meridian’s VP Engineering Services, concluded “AVEVA’s digital data management tools will empower Meridian with the ability to work ahead of the typical ’30-60-90′ engineering information release curve. This enables an early start on set-up and vetting crucial Operations Technology (OT) systems with our strategic partners and take full advantage of the benefits of the unified information architecture and progressive digital asset handover.”

Meridian is disrupting the longstanding industry with plans to construct multiple smaller, more cost-effective, clean-tech refineries across the country that are permitted under state and local jurisdictional authority. This innovative approach aims to streamline regulatory processes and accelerate the development of more efficient and sustainable refining operations. Meridian is currently in the process of building the Davis Refinery in the Bakken oil field outside of Belfield, North Dakota, next to major trucking and rail corridors. This distributed business model is sleeker, faster and more efficient than the centralized mega-refinery model currently prevalent.

The Davis Refinery was permitted as a synthetic minor source by the North Dakota Department of Health – Air Quality (NDDEQ) after an extensive 18-month review in 2018.  That Permit to Construct (PTC) validated all the claims previously made by Meridian when the company undertook the challenge to “clean up” the refining industry.  In April of this year, Meridian announced an engineering breakthrough in the design and configuration of the Davis Refinery in which greenhouse gas emissions are fully offset by the co-processing of renewable biofeedstock.  This results in net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions for the facility, the world’s first for a crude oil refinery. Meridian is also planning to build additional refineries in Texas and Oklahoma.

Meridian Energy Group Inc
Meridian’s mission is to provide long-term shareholder value through the development and operation of the cleanest, smartest and most profitable crude oil refineries in the world. The Davis Refinery represents the first of several next-generation refineries, as Meridian will be expanding with development, permitting, and financing its next series of projects in the Permian and in the Cushing, OK area. Meridian has several additional locations under consideration and has the potential to export its proprietary refinery technology and processes to currently operational refineries worldwide. Established in 2013, Meridian has offices in Belfield, North Dakota and Houston, Texas. For more information, visit: https://meridianenergygroupinc.com.

MEXC and Hacken Launch AI Trading Safety Handbook to Promote Safer AI Adoption

Published

on

By

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, and blockchain security, compliance, and regulatory assurance partner Hacken, have released the MEXC × Hacken AI Trading Safety Handbook, providing practical guidance on how users and platforms can use and deploy AI-assisted and automated trading tools more safely, from research and decision support through trade execution.

The handbook follows the recent MEXC AI Trading Report, which found strong interest in AI alongside clear demand for greater control. In MEXC’s 2026 survey, willingness to use automated trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses were introduced.

As AI takes a more active role in trading, the handbook emphasizes that safety cannot rely on the AI model alone. AI-facilitated actions should be checked against separate permissions, financial limits and risk controls before execution. It covers risks including credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended execution, while outlining practical safeguards for both users and platforms.

For users, the handbook sets out five safety checks: Ask, Verify, Limit, Control and Review. For platforms, it outlines five principles: Guard, Limit, Approve, Controls and Test. Together, they provide a practical framework for expanding the use of AI while keeping appropriate controls in place.

“AI can make trading more accessible and efficient, but greater capability should come with stronger safeguards,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “At MEXC, we want users to benefit from innovation, while taking a measured approach to AI adoption. Our People First principle means giving users access to new capabilities without losing sight of control, transparency and risk.”

“AI agents will soon place more orders than people do. Trust in them should be earned the way smart contracts earned it: through independent controls, continuous red-teaming and evidence anyone can verify,” said Dyma Budorin, CEO and co-founder of Hacken. “This handbook is intended to raise awareness of those risks and provide practical support for both users and platforms. As adoption grows, platforms will need to test these safeguards continuously and strengthen them as new risks emerge.”

MEXC and Hacken hope the handbook can serve as a practical reference for users and platforms as AI becomes more deeply integrated into trading, helping raise risk awareness and support safer, more responsible adoption across the industry.
