In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

ConocoPhillips today announced the introduction of four innovations that will further enhance the functionality of its proprietary Optimized Cascade natural gas liquefaction process or OCP ...

Coal-fired power plants can improve wet limestone scrubbing with advanced process control. One such optimization system reduced house load substantially.

At the 2019 SPIE Advanced Lithography conference, Coventor personnel demonstrated how virtual process modeling (combined with advanced process control) could provide enhanced patterning yield and ...

Generically, APCs consist of three components: a computer-simulation model that integrates process knowledge and historical data; control and optimization algorithms; and current, real-time process ...

Technology progression within advanced process control (APC) continues to evolve; however, it is the relationship among core APC developments, enabling technologies, and management practices that ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Multivariable predictive control technology increased oil and gas production by 4% from BP PLC's Marlin tension leg platform (TLP) in the Gulf of Mexico.

Compared to factory automation, process control places additional demands on communication technology. Process plants, which extend over wide areas, have a lifespan of 20+ years. They invariably run ...
