Base Layer Optimization
IPCOS helps you to get the maximum out of your primary control system (DCS/PLC). Optimizing a DCS/PLC will bring stability to your plant and will already increase the throughput and have a major positive effect on the energy consumption. Our engineers generated benefits of 300.000 Euro/Year with DCS optimizations of ammonia plants and 700.000 Euro/year in refineries.
- Major review and optimization of existing controls. Check what control structures are implemented and how the controllers are tuned. Our engineers will retune the controllers if needed.
- Tuning of controls and optimization of control structures. Design better control structures in the DCS and bring them online.
- Board to DCS migration. Do not copy the old control structures and PID settings from your old DCS to your brand new DCS. Let our engineers review and optimize them first. Exploit the CPU power of your new DCS.
- Standardization of controls.
- Documentation of existing control structures.
- Instrumentation/actuators review. Very often the cause of many stability and control problems. Our engineers find the troublemakers in your plant.
- Advanced maintenance services on base layer controls. Once the DCS controls are optimized they have to stay optimized. Since a plant is a living thing, a regular check and optimization session will be conducted at site.
- Performance monitoring services for basic controls
- Guaranteed performance controls
- Training (engineers)
