If your problem is complex and calls for Multi-variable model based predictive controls, we will use the best package to implement first class MPC solutions for your particular application. This is one of our core expertise and we will be glad to implement a solution with any of the packages such as RMPCT, DMCplus, Pavilion8 or any specialized packages such as Yokogawa’s Exasmoc. We are one of the few companies that have the expertise in all of these packages without a bias or incline towards any.

Here is where the PIControls software package along with our VLE/distillation software package come into play. We have been able to utilize the education in VLE and distillation and our experience in various processing facilities to troubleshoot process problems in manufacturing facilities. This is primarily because we have a tool that most engineering companies do not have.

Our package is comparable to top packages such as Chemcad and Hysis in the area of distillation but it is simpler to use and we use it as a training package. Armed with this knowledge of process engineering and expertise and knowledge of controls, we are able to provide the most comprehensive advanced controls solution for your needs whether using MPC technology or developing advanced regulatory controls solutions.

We have extensive experience in developing non-MPC based advanced control solutions for Polymer plants. We believe for every application that requires MPC, there are about a dozen units that require a suitable advanced controls solution. The problem is that not many people have the expertise to provide these solutions so they either forcefully implement MPC which come with it’s licensing and maintenance issues or live without a solution.

Not only will we work with you to identify the problem and determine the solution, we will solve those problems and even ones that you were not aware of. We are also committed to incorporating the process philosophy into the control strategy. Oftentimes, control solutions do not reflect the process needs and more often than not, are not adapted to the changing conditions.

We will provide solutions that take into account all the factors that affect your unit from energy consumption to customer demands and product sales price to everything in between.

We believe that unit based optimization is more powerful, more robust, easier to understand and implement and less costly than plant wide optimization. Please check out our optimization section for more information as we incorporate our proprietary optimization solutions into the advanced controls.
