Un des objectifs fondamentaux des usines de process est d’accroître la rentabilité en optimisant la production et le rendement tout en réduisant la consommation d’énergie. Pour y parvenir, les procédés doivent fonctionner en permanence à leur point optimal, ce qui exige un contrôle adéquat des procédés et des performances des opérateurs.
Un objetivo fundamental en las plantas de proceso es aumentar la rentabilidad al maximizar la producción y el rendimiento, mientras se reduce el consumo de energía. Para lograr esto, los procesos deben operar consistentemente en su punto óptimo, lo que requiere un buen control del proceso y desempeño del operador.
A fundamental aim at process plants is to increase profitability by maximising throughput and yield while reducing energy consumption. To achieve this, processes must consistently operate at their optimal point, which requires good process control and operator performance.
Un obiettivo fondamentale negli impianti di processo è quello di aumentare la redditività massimizzando la produzione e la resa, riducendo al tempo stesso il consumo di energia. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, i processi devono funzionare costantemente al loro punto ottimale, il che richiede buoni livelli di controllo del processo e delle prestazioni dell’operatore.
Control valve response is a critical factor in successful control strategies and process variability. In a ControlGlobal.com article, Responsible control valve response, Emerson’s Greg McMillan and James Beall discussed the efforts underway to include valve responsiveness into the ISA 75.25 Control Valve Dynamic Testing standard.
Because they directly touch the process flow, control valves play a significant role in the stability, robustness and variability in the process. One bad-acting control valve can create large problems for safe and reliable operations. At last week's AIChE Spring...
Today is the final day of the 2018 Emerson Exchange conference. The last session I'm attending is on Control Performance with Emerson's James Beall, Courtney (Eddie) Lane, Dirk Thiele and Aspentech's Alex Kalafatis. After the panel introduced themselves, Dirk opened...
Emerson's James Beall joins our continuing podcast series on 5 Questions for an Emerson Expert. The goal of these podcasts is to share some tidbits on how they got their start in a science, technology, engineering & math (STEM)-based career and more about their...
Let's continue our 5 Questions for an Emerson Expert podcast series with Mark Coughran. Mark has decades of experience in process automation and optimization. We've shared some of Mark's experience and client engagements here on the blog. In this podcast, you'll hear...
Variability in a process can impact unplanned downtime frequency, product quality, energy usage and more. I received some questions about measures of control performance from a reliability specialist in a refinery. I thought that these questions and answers I received...
Instrumentation and automation professionals in the oil & gas industries along the Texas Gulf Coast have an excellent resource in the annual Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industry. The 71st edition of this 3-day symposium will be held...
One of the presenters I really enjoy listening to at Emerson Exchange conferences is Emerson's James Beall. As a process control consultant, he helps process manufacturers and producers get their processes running as optimally as possible. He always shares his tips...
