Benefits of Advanced Process Controls

Industrial process control system users often have looked to increase the power of their system with Advanced Process Controls (APC). The mill areas where APC can have the largest positive impacts include advanced control of the paper machine, the bleach plant and brownstock washers, the digesters or refiners, and the chemical recovery. Significant improvements are often achieved - such as increased process stability, improved product quality and improved operational profitability - which ripple through the entire operation.

What are Sustainable Benefits?

Sustainable Benefits are those advanced control benefits that are sustained, and even improved, over the life of the control system - through periodic maintenance and tuning, through application modification to keep pace with operational improvements, and through maintenance of operator and maintainer skills.

While APC projects usually achieve dramatic benefits during and immediately after implementation, all too often, as the life cycle of the advanced control package increases, the controls do not keep pace as equipment wears and processes change and advanced tuning is required. Also, the in-depth training users and maintainers received during the initial project is usually not repeated for to newer personnel, and they may not have the same confidence need to keep loops on control.
