Base Layer Optimization Projects

IPCOS helps operating facilities to get the maximum out of their primary control systems (DCS/PLC). Optimizing a DCS/PLC brings stability to the plant operation and enables an increase in the throughput and decrease of the energy consumption. These types of services typically generate benefits of up to €300k/year for fertilizer plants and up to €700k/year for refinery units. These services include:

• Major review and optimization of existing controls.
• Tuning of controls and optimization of control structures.
• Standardization of controls and documentation of existing control structures.
• Review of instrumentation and actuators.
• Training of control engineers.
