APC control system application case of a factory

Cooperation Case
Examples of maintenance work
A factory air points of rectification tower bottom temperature (controlled variable) by hot oil flow (variable) operation regulation. Upstream device of hot oil temperature fluctuations become bigger and not stable, lead to bottom temperature fluctuation is larger, the control effect is poor, temperature curve is shown in figure 1:
After analyzing the historical data, it is found that the change of hot oil flow and temperature will affect the temperature of the bottom of the tower, but the temperature that affects the bottom of the tower is the energy transfer between the temperature and flow of the hot oil and the temperature of the bottom of the tower. The thermal oil flow rate and temperature are then chemically calculated to obtain the Q of the hot oil energy. Replace the operating variable with Q, re-establish the model, overcome the thermal oil temperature fluctuation interference, and achieve smooth control of the tower bottom temperature. The standard deviation of the temperature at the bottom of the tower after maintenance is reduced by 45% compared with that before maintenance. The improvement effect is shown in Figure 2:

Effect of maintenance work
State industry science and technology in the service of a refining company APC during the maintenance, the response in the first quarter, 35 times mostly controller did not maintain long-term accumulation of APC faults.
After the maintenance work was carried out, the total number of fault responses decreased to 11 times, the frequency of failures decreased by 70%, and the automation level was greatly improved.

Maintenance benefit
The advantage of APC maintenance work is to ensure the safe and stable production of the equipment, to continuously optimize the model and parameters of the controller, to continuously track the processing problems, to submit complete suggestions and implement, so that the economic benefits continue to maintain a high level. At present, Bangye Technology has carried out APC maintenance work in several factories, and both have achieved very good results.
With a professional APC team and rich project maintenance experience, Bangye Technology will always be committed to APC project execution and maintenance, and realize the visualization, sustainability and optimization of the plant APC benefits.
