Software perfects cement processes
Pavilion Technologies has installed its multivariable model predictive control cement solution on a pre-calciner dry kiln for Capitol Aggregates, based in Texas, USA.
Process Perfecter Version 7 allows manufacturers to reduce energy costs, get more capacity from existing assets and differentiate their products, by offering new features that augment the fidelity of the models, enhance sensor validation performance, and improve the ability to control and optimise multiple processes simultaneously.
These features reduce project implementation time, reduce process variability, and deliver greater lifetime value.
"With Version 7, Pavilion continues its focus on improving its APC software suite", said Tom Fiske, Senior Analyst ARC Advisory Group.
"The new features broaden the applicability of Pavilion's solution to both traditional markets like polymers and expanding markets like cement and commodity chemicals".
Process Perfecter 7, is the most robust solution available with the ability to execute precise control over processes with varying dynamics.
Process Perfecter 7 delivers enhanced controller performance over a larger operating range with greater consistency in setpoint transition.
Additional enhancements include the use of first principle equations and operational knowledge in model development.
This enables manufacturers to harness existing knowledge while quickly creating robust applications that provide greater control and efficiency than alternative solutions.
"Version 7 extends our leadership in the advanced control market and includes key innovations requested by our customers", said Pavilion CEO Ralph Carter.
"This release exemplifies our commitment to deliver products that improve our customer's bottom line".
Pavilion's Version 7 advanced process control solution delivers even more value by: cutting variable costs through reduced energy, reduced off-spec, and reduced downtime due to upsets; increasing production through tighter control of a larger product mix, ability to control across more operating ranges; and enhancing product quality through tighter control to product specification setpoint.
