(45s) Smartprocess® Application Strategy Achieves Faster and More Efficient Control of an Ethylene Complex

Design and implementation of traditional advanced process control and optimization strategies for ethylene complexes have involved real-time computers with multi-variable applications interfaced to DCS.  Such projects often take 12-18 months before tangible benefits are realized.  SmartProcess® applications with embedded APC technology allow the implementation of strategies that achieve significant benefits in 4 months or less.

This paper highlights the important aspects of implementing SmartProcess® application for an ethylene complex and highlights the benefits that companies have achieved from this technology.
