CSense Process +

"The productivity and safety of many industries could be doubled in many cases through the exploitation of state of the art instrumentation and control.

Similarly, the raw material and energy cost of some processes could be cut in half merely through optimised controls.  We have the tools, the knowledge, and the need to strive for these goals."

- Bela G. Liptak, Process Control Instrument Engineers Handbook

Industry survey has shown that the following conditions are typical of most process plants: 

  • 30% of the controllers are typically operating in manual 
  • 55% of the controllers are poorly tuned or de-tuned to mask control related problems 
  • 50% of the control valve actuators, I/Ps/ and positioners are improperly calibrated 
  • 30% of the control valves exhibit excessive friction or stick slip characteristics 
  • Many measurement instruments are improperly calibrated or incorrectly installed 
  • 20% of control systems are not properly configured to meet the control system objectives.

Given the number of loops that form part of your process, the benefits from Process+ would pay itself off in a very short period.

In most plants it has been set up to provide the necessary reporting required for daily and weekly meetings to ensure that poor control stats like these are avoided.
