Download Free: Revitalize your APC Applications
Advanced Process Control (APC) systems ensure that plants are controlled at their most profitable constraints. By implementing an APC solution to optimize your process, your plant achieves:
- Increased production/throughput
- Improved yields and product upgrade
- Minimized energy requirements
- Reduced product variability
- Improved process stability
This webcast explores how Westlake Chemical improved utilization and performance by successfully re-commissioning its APC applications. The Westlake Chemical Petro 2 ethylene plant produces polymer-grade ethylene, chemical-grade propylene, and other by-products.
Tools utilized to upgrade APC models include ones that:
- Monitor and tune PID loops
- Automate step testing
- Identify multivariable models
- Monitor APC controllers
