Process Optimization
Process optimization and improvement in industrial plants can increase companies' profitability in significant rates. Return on optimization investment to be made pays off in months or sometimes even in weeks. An improvement in quality or quantity of products recovered with a minimum capital investment may repay as additional income which directly increases the profitability.
Process optimization will pay off greatly in below plants:
- Newly commissioned industrial plants
- Mines with highly variable ores and ore types
- Plants which are experiencing gradual changes in type of feeding, under P&ID assessment, employing new equipment and/or personnel, has been experiencing changes in the way of operation for years and are willing to invest in new reactives or technologies
- Existing operations lacking of a formal or systematic optimization program
- Existing operations who are in need of a hidden troubleshooting system or getting rid of a bottleneck
Today, process control loops of many mid- and large-scale industrial plant works inefficiently. Those inefficient loops generally cause excessive alarms, process jams, decreased product quality and increased workload for operators.
Process control optimizations of plants are carried out through Advanced Proses Control (APC) technologies.
Control Loop Optimization leads to:
- Decrease in the number of disruptive factors to system
- Enhanced protection level
- Optimal plant operations
ASTEC has a wide experience and know-how on loop optimization of processes with the Advanced Process Control software it employs.
