The economic benefits from implementation of Visual MESA is estimated in the range of 1-5% increase of the marginal power plants. Thus, the implementation of MES technology is an important tool for solving problems of maximizing the marginal profit of thermal power plants, and optimization of the process.

The unit that was selected for this APC project was the Cyclohexane (CX) distillation unit because it displays the typical process characteristics in which an APC value proposition can be applied.
Read moreBasic Control Loops Performance Monitoring
In many practical cases, PID controllers are poorly tuned because of the lack of time or operator skill, or because operating conditions change. Obviously, it is important to have relevant techniques able to automatically assess the performance of a PID controller and to retune the controller to optimize the performance. Learn more about a basic methodology that can be applied to various systems.

Read moreAPC 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.
