\n What are Process Control Solutions? Optimizing plant operations<\/span>\n <\/h2>\n
\n

Base layer controls, containing mainly PID controllers, form the backbone of automatic control systems in refineries, (petro)chemical installations, power plants and other processes. Optimizing plant operations starts with optimizing the base layer controls. Designing the optimal control structures and tuning them after implementation are the most important phases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A possible next step after optimizing the base layer controllers is the implementation of an APC system. This system will push the unit to the optimal operating points, whereby e.g. throughput is maximized, energy consumption is minimized, product quality is more consistent or a combination of these targets.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

PID Control & Tuning<\/h2>\n

Optimal base layer control starts with a good control design. Then tune all the PID loops such that every single loop in your plant is in auto mode and keeps all your process parameters at the desired setpoint 24\/7.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

Advanced Process Control<\/h2>\n

APC systems maintain your operation at the optimal operating point. APC improves product yield, maximizes throughput, increases your plant\u2019s efficiency under varying feedstock quality and operating conditions.<\/p>\n

\n Reduce process disturbances <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Correctly tuned PID controllers and APC systems minimize the effects of disturbances. This allows you to keep the plant operating at or near the optimal operating point under all conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n Reduce wear and tear
\r\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Optimal controls prevent process oscillations, resulting in less thermal and mechanical stress on the equipment. This has a major positive impact on production run lengths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n Increase product quality
\r\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Reduce variations in product quality by automatically measuring and adjusting key process parameters to maintain the optimal quality at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Increase plant efficiency <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Avoid the over-consumption of cooling water, electricity, steam, air and feedstock. Make more with less!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n Increase plant profitability <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
