AVANT energy & solutions provide its services for Advanced process control, also known as (MPC) model predictive control, incorporates model-based software that is used to direct process operation. For these applications, the process model must precisely capture the process dynamics. Improved operational economics or production gains are common motivators for implementing these applications. The advanced process control software have following features:

Advantages

• Offline and online model building, model verification, and data analysis tools that ensure model accuracy.
• Collect historical data from control systems or online process historian systems.
• Operator guidance to advise where the APC is taking the process.
• Prediction of controlled variables based on future planned moves of manipulated variables.
• Enables more precise control over key process factors based on a dynamic model
• Run-time APC tuning to adjust for process dynamics changes without rebuilding the model.
• Easily integrates with distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC)-based control systems, and plant information system.
