Upgrader Advanced Control Systems
Upgrader's advanced process control solutions have enabled a major Canadian integrated oil and gas firm to achieve significant cost savings. The system relies on operator input and process engineering evaluation, emphasizing collaboration and expertise. This solution enhances control performance by recommending optimal settings and providing the option to switch to automatic mode as needed. The primary objective is improved operational efficiency. The original equipment from the manufacturer was not energy efficient, requiring creative tuning to optimize batch production. Optimizing energy usage remains a key focus.
OUR SOLUTION
For over 20 years, we have been a trusted provider of turn-key advanced control applications, delivering ongoing maintenance, enhancements, and support for the essential operating units at this critical facility. We are committed to ensuring continuous, efficient operations.
We provided integrated soft sensors for essential lab measurements, awesome operator training, model-predictive control with unit optimization, and a fresh plant history featuring next-level visualizations, data analytics, electronic logbooks, and management reports.
THE RESULTS
Every process unit brings its own unique perks to the table! When it comes to distillation, we're seeing specifications consistent within 20–25%! This means better operational stability, because it allows for local throughput increases based on downstream capacity.
