We provide control optimization that can include redesign of control structures. We evaluate the existing control loop structures to prepare the path of control improvement for optimization and implement the control improvements. We can also commission and test the control system and finally present an understandable result sheet of optimization works performed.
Control Optimization solutions improves the efficiency, sustainability and reduces the time of outage.
Alarm management is one of the most overlooked aspect of control system engineering. Usually a common standard is applied to all types of plants without detailed review of process technology. However, alarming is a key element in plant operation.
With proper alarm management, it’s possible to reduce the amount of false alarms, hence increase the plant up-time by focusing operators on more important tasks. Alarm optimization reduces the risk of unexpected major equipment failure and unplanned plant shutdowns.
We develop alarm philosophies based on actual plant data and apply international standards together with process experience while developing a strategy to optimize alarming.
Performance calculation is a data driven tool, enabling plants to increase efficiency and availability.
We provide power plant performance calculations based on ASME PTC standards.
It’s possible to use real time as well as historical data to make required calculations. The results of the calculations can be embedded into the process control system (PCS) or can be communicated to any 3rd party software belonging to the plant like manufacturing execution system (MES).
Performance calculators compare actual calculated efficiencies with theoretical expected ones. Together with the visualization of change of calculated efficiency, good insight can be provided for maintenance planning. Moreover calculators divide efficiency losses into sections based on ASME PTC standards, hence showing which process parts needs focus to increase the efficiency of the whole plant.
