APC Implementation and Steam Consumption in Ethylene Glycol Plant

APC Implementation and Steam Consumption in Ethylene Glycol Plant

The Advanced Process Control application implemented on the Mono Ethylene Glycol unit helped control the plant with less variation during load changes and with fewer operator interactions during plant operation. This resulted in maximizing the Tri Ethylene Glycol production and reducing overall steam consumption.
