Metso ExperTune PlantTriage Optimized performance throughout the plant s lifetime
A typical plant has: in manual with mechanical issues of controllers As a consequence: Metso ExperTune PlantTriage software: process upsets Metso ExperTune PlantTriage helps you to: The Metso ExperTune PlantTriage tools make it so much easier to focus on the root cause. Steam flows were immediately reduced by 7,000 pounds per hour. Principal Process Control Specialist, Lyondell-Basell
By using the tools, ClO 2 usage was decreased, and brightness increased while final brightness variability savings were $170,000. Process Control Engineer, Canfor Pulp, Canada optimization solution Metso ExperTune PlantTriage can be scaled to small facility with only 100 control loops, or a vast enterprise of many plants, you can choose the system that s right for you. Embedded world-class knowledge Using the knowledge of industry veterans, Metso ExperTune PlantTriage software has been developed over 25 years as an expert system. You can use this embedded knowledge to identify underperforming controls and the root cause of upsets, and then automatically tune the control loops. Award-winning software Having won Control Magazine s readers choice award for over 15 consecutive years, as well as countless other awards, Metso ExperTune PlantTriage is acknowledged in the market to be the leading tool for improving control loop performance. The only complete solution for control performance Only Metso ExperTune PlantTriage provides a full set of diagnostic tools covering monitoring and prioritization tasks, root cause identification and resolution of issues in one integrated package. Coupled with easy access through a web browser, this powerful optimization software can be Before Metso ExperTune PlantTriage improves quality by automatically stabilizing processes.
Powerful diagnostic and optimization tools for continuous improvement Metso ExperTune PlantTriage software allows you to implement a continuous improvement cycle. Monitor Always watching year. Identifies issues as they emerge in real time. Prioritize Biggest payback Quickly identifies loops with the most which, when corrected, provide the Metso ExperTune PlantTriage Resolve Automatically tune controls control loops can be tuned automatically to deliver optimum performance. The technology also allows control parameter changes to be simulated in advance so that the exact response profile you want can be chosen. Diagnose Root cause finder Looks at the interaction of controls across identify the root cause of upsets. Often, the root cause is in a control loop far removed from the underperforming control which manual analysis would fail to spot. Even if manual analysis could detect the cause, hours or even days can be saved using Metso ExperTune PlantTriage. Identify faulty field devices Powerful diagnostic tools enable broken instruments and valve mechanical problems to be simply identified in the control loops. Maintenance can be targeted to the devices which need it most.
Customer case with proven results The new technology saves us millions of dollars every year. Lakshman Natarajan Project Leader, BP Improving refinery performance and reducing variability BP, refineries worldwide Background: over 2000 control loops carrying out different functions, but with multiple interdependencies between them change in the operation of one part of the plant can have a knock-on effect in several other locations environmental impact and variability Solution: Metso ExperTune PlantTriage installed Results: $1 5 million per refinery environmental operations activities
