Global Specialty Chemical

Project Understanding:

Global Specialty Chemical company ask WME to explore the status/maturity of their current DCS implementations across the North American sites with the intent to identify and execute improvements on designated sites in the US.

Scope of Work include:

  1. Explore the status/maturity of current DCS implementations:
    • DCS support such as DCS information extraction, control-loop configuration/re-configuration
    • PID tuning
    • Historian
  2. Analyze data and produce a report that includes:
    • Control-loop(s) with either (or both) poor setpoint tracking or regulatory control performance that requires further tuning
    • Observed instrument/control valve issues
    • Alarm Classifications
    • Control-loops that are candidates for future APC implementation (MVs).
  3. The outcome of interviews performed with site personnel.

Outcomes:

Some of the outcomes as identified by the customer:

  1. Before and after comparison for this particular process T/25 (with 2nd and 3rd additions) batch.  In summary (between 2nd and 3rd addition), improvements are:
    • Time reduced by 56 minutes.
    • Temperature drop reduced by as much as 85 degF.
    • Eliminates the need to switch between cool-on and heat-on.
  2. This is the initial results for 1 product
    • New temperature cascade control implemented in process drying.
    • Drying time (for the same product) reduced by ~50%
  3. Other examples:
