Opportunity
Identifying improperly tuned PID control loops and instrumentation issues is critical to optimizing plant performance. A typical process plant has thousands of PID control loops. Monitoring each PID control loop to ensure best performance is an onerous task requiring process control expertise and process knowledge.
Solution
Spiro PID is a powerful application that delivers continuous measurement and visualisation of PID control loop performance, valve/actuator anomalies, and sensor performance. By understanding the cause of poorly performing control loops, users can make significant improvements to process efficiency.
Expected project benefits
- 1% Production improvement
- Reduce loops running in manual to less than 15%
- 2% reduction in energy cost through oscillation reduction
- 20% reduction in off-spec product
- Full return on investment (ROI) within months
