Our Control Performance Improvement consultants can quickly determine the root cause of and solution for loop performance problems such as cycling and slow response. They can tune all loops in a unit for a coordinated response to load disturbances and set point changes. The resulting reduction in process variability will help to minimize consumption of raw materials and energy while yielding product quality improvements. Additionally, our Control Performance Improvement consultants can help you determine the causes of and solutions for process upsets, trips, and operator intervention on key control loops, reducing unplanned events and lowering maintenance costs for your process equipment.

Emerson’s Control Performance Improvement consultants have wide experience in the process industries including Refining, Chemical, Power, Pipelines, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, Mining & Metals, Pulp & Paper and others.  They can perform on-site troubleshooting, startup assistance, controller tuning, process simulation, implementation of advanced control solutions, and training of plant staff.  They are experts with applying a number of state-of-the-art control loop performance troubleshooting and tuning tools such as EnTech™ Toolkit, DeltaV™ Predict, and DeltaV™ Inspect, as well as Entech™ Variability Index to pinpoint and correct control problems.

There are various levels of Control Performance Improvement that are designed to provide the right solution for your plant, from identification of needs to a complete on-site analysis and correction of control issues: Consult for a Day, Control Performance Study, Control Performance Project, Control Performance Program, and EnTech Variability Index (specifically for pulp and paper mills).  For more information, please see the Control Performance Improvement Service Data Sheet, or contact your local Emerson Process Management representative.
