IPCOS’ Methanol@Max solution is the advanced control solution for Methanol plants. The solution is based on IPCOS’ state-of-the-art INCA APC control software, which connects to the DCS and controls and optimizes the plant minute by minute, every hour of the day, every day of the year. Methanol@Max was specifically developed for Methanol plants. It captures best-in-class APC technology and extensive processand operations knowledge that IPCOS’ project consultants have gained over many years working in the industry. And since we know what we’re doing, we are not afraid of guaranteeing the benefits you will get from our solutions! IPCOS’ @Max solutions are an auto-pilot for your plant. They reduce the variance in the key plant parameters, and reduce the need for operator intervention, thereby significantly increasing reliability. IPCOS’ @Max solutions are available for plants from all major licensors in the syngas industries, and will work with any DCS.
