Tom is overseeing a major long-term upgrade of that fluorine products plant as it continues to produce hydrofluoric acid, polymers and refrigerants. His team has made a lot of progress in the last 18 months. Listen in: Gas processor to apply simulator/optimizer platform Enbridge Energy Partners, an independent midstream natural gas company, has ordered a new optimization platform from eSimulation for its Avinger and Longview gas processing plants. Listen in: Ethanol producer adopts model predictive control to boost production Ethanol producer White Energy Inc., has awarded a multi-site model predictive control (MPC) project to Pavilion Technologies. The project will help improve ethanol production at White Energy's three plants in Kansas and Texas. Controller platform: Small-scale system bridges device gap New AC 700F controller platform from ABB offers greater capabilities than PLCs without the overhead of larger process automation systems. In Print: Analyzing closed-loop behavior with convolution The second in a two-part series explaining how linear process behavior can be predicted mathematically. Online: Integrating asset management and maintenance A goal of 80% planned maintenance is attainable when a plant asset management platform is integrated with maintenance strategy during engineering design. |
