Process perfecter delivers greater control
Pavilion Technologies has released Version 7 of its APC software suite.
Tom Spaits, Plant Manager for Capitol Cement says: "Pavilion's control solutions continue to deliver measurable results that have a definite impact on our plant's profitability".
"Pavilion delivers a solution with a short implementation time and a quick return on investment".
Capitol has realised the following benefits from the dry kiln project: improved process stability that allows for maximum utilisation of production capacity; reduced energy consumption; and lower NOx emissions.
Pavilion's APC solutions address pressing needs in the cement industry.
With global shortages, cement manufacturers are quickly able to boost production capacity to capitalise on demand.
Simultaneously, the control solution enables manufacturers to drive down energy costs and NOx emissions.
Companies are able to run more profitability, while simultaneously reducing green house gases.
"We are pleased with the continued success that Capitol experiences with our technology", said Pavilion President Ralph Carter.
"We strive to deliver this kind of value each day for our customers and we look forward to identifying other ways we can help Capitol achieve its business goals".
Process Perfecter APC software unifies the control and optimisation disciplines into a single solution, providing closed-loop dynamic control for increased performance of continuous process manufacturing facilities.
With Process Perfecter, Capitol is able to improve the operational stability and efficiency of their dry kiln and mills.
The robustness of Process Perfecter is demonstrated by the continued operator acceptance and use through changing process conditions.
