ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL (APC) APPLICATIONS
 
When implemented the proper way, Advanced Process Control (APC) has the ability to revolutionize a plant’s operation – in profits and capabilities.
 
Constantly pushing a plant to its maximum potential, the APC balances operation at multiple limits around the clock, seven days a week. The APC consistently monitors and makes adjustments for constraints, staying within bounds while optimizing the operation.
 
Benefits:

• Operate your plant at maximum profit at all times
• Make smarter, quicker adjustments to changing conditions
• Maximize unit feed and/or yields
• Improve control of product qualities
• Achieve consistent operating philosophy across shift teams

Our experts extract the most from APC technology to capture all of the economic credits available at your plant. With vast benefits accessible at a relatively modest cost, APC projects offer exceptional return on investment. 
 
REAL TIME OPTIMIZATION (RTO) APPLICATIONS
 
For larger, more complex plants, RTO takes optimization of the operation to a higher level. Reactions with complex yield patterns, multiple interacting units or other opportunities, repay the investment in RTO with even further profit improvement.
 
Based on detailed chemical engineering models, RTO examines all possibilities and trade-offs in a plant to develop the overall optimum solution. Non-linear effects are explicitly accounted for in calculating targets to pass on to the APC for implementation.
 
Our broad range of experience from the control valve, through APC and RTO,
to planning-level optimization will contribute to your plant achieving RTO’s highest potential.
