PETROCHEMICALS
PiControl has extensive expertise in process
enhancement, process controls and process
optimization of petrochemical facilities.
Petrochemical facilities are constantly faced with
changing prices, changing customer demands, impact
from other processes and industries amongst other
host of issues. We understand that all of these
factors have to be used in determining optimal
operating conditions for each single unit.
We will help you develop solutions that provide a
clear path to follow as conditions change. In some
cases, we can develop online systems that handle
some of the changes for you thus constantly
controlling and optimizing your units.
One of the biggest value-added benefits PiControl
can bring you is our skill and expertise in choosing
and implementing the most appropriate process
control tool and software for your specific needs
and characteristics. We stay away from complex
black-box type software products. We also avoid
complex software applications needing excessive
specialized support. We will use the simplest, yet
powerful/sophisticated most effective approach
giving you robust control action, high software
reliability and high application on-stream factor.
Where the process is truly multivariable, we will
recommend and implement MPC products like DMC or
RMPCT. Where the process has a strong diagonal
control matrix, we may recommend a DCS-based
traditional APC scheme using our proprietary Pitops
software for quickly and accurately identifying
process dynamics.
What distinguishes us from other process control
vendors and companies is that we are not only a
technology company, a software developer and
implementer (an OEM – original equipment
manufacturer – since we develop our own software
technology and products) but we also use control
software from other companies like DMC, RMPCT etc.
We chose the most appropriate, best product and
methodology based on the process characteristics and
plant needs. We pride ourselves in that we can use
all of the following: DCS-based APC, full-blown MPC
or a rule-based control product ReciCon based on
needs and characteristics.
Many petrochemical processes can benefit immediately
through the use of our software and technology.
