Advance Process Control

Proclink offers Advance Process Control (APC) which improves process efficiency, product quality, safety, and operational stability while reducing costs and environmental impact. It benefits by using sophisticated technologies, software algorithms, and control strategies to optimize and enhance the operation of various processes within the refinery. Unlike conventional control systems that operate individual processes based on fixed setpoints, APC systems use real-time data, mathematical models, and predictive analytics to continuously adjust process variables and parameters for optimal performance. APC can handle complex interactions, non-linear behaviours, and uncertainties that are often present in refinery operations. Proclink Offers the following in APC

  • Data Collection and Monitoring
  • Modelling and Optimization
  • predictive control management
  • Multivariable Control management
  • Real-time decision support and visualization
  • Improved efficiency and product quality
  • Environmental Management System
  • Operational Flexibility
