Model Predictive Control (MPC) technology, such as: DMC (Dynamic Matrix Control), RMPCT (Robust Model Predictive Control Technology), PredictPro, Connoisseur and other Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are widely used in chemical, petrochemical, paper, power plant and oil refining industries. A Model Predictive Control (MPC) system can have anywhere from 3 to 50 MVs (Manipulated Variables) […]
Based on the initiative of Louisiana Tech University Department of Chemical Engineering and its cooperation, PiControl Solutions has developed and it is pleased to announce novel, modern and powerful chemical engineering and process control software simulation tool, called PiDistill. PiDistill is full-blown real-time dynamic simulator of a typical distillation column. In addition to a distillation […]
Since the beginning of the 20th century the field of process automation and process control optimization has become increasingly important in all manufacturing industry worldwide. Moreover, after 2010 the new revolution has been started under the name Industry 4.0: Increased automation and digital transformation. The main goal of it is to use advanced information and […]
College and university professors do an excellent job in covering theoretical aspects of system identification, primary process control design, and PID control loop tuning methods. However practical exposure to hands-on and industrial system identification and process control optimization exposure is difficult for new students and graduates. Most academic schools and colleges do not cover system […]
PiControl Solutions LLC is in talks with EMERSON USA for possible alliance on process control, PID control loop tuning and advanced process control (APC) and PID control loop monitoring software and technology. The following areas are being explored: Multivariable closed-loop model identification technique without the need to perform open or even closed-loop step tests. Model […]
Abstract: Since the 1980’s the field of process control has become increasingly important in chemical and petrochemical plants, oil refineries and other manufacturing units. The widely used and still very powerful tool in process control domain is the PID controller. In order to get optimal performance of any PID controller and to extract the full […]

Increase Plant Profits by Process Monitoring and Optimization Any factory or chemical plant has anywhere from about 10 to as many as several 1000 PID control loops. If PID tuning parameters are not optimal, control action can be slow or unstable and oscillatory. Bad PID control action can reduce product quality, make products sub-prime, off-spec, […]
PID Tuning in Chemical Plants PID Tuning Optimization helps chemical plants to run better, more smoothly, increases production rate and plant profits. This can result in 2-4% profits, sometimes as high as 10%. Unfortunately only fewer than 10% of all plants worldwide are precisely tuned using PID tuning optimization software. Most control engineers and operators […]
