ENGAGING THE GEARS OF PROCESS AUTOMATION

WE'RE THE HOME OF APC 2.0, ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL - REIMAGINED

SAFETY, RELIABILITY, AND OPTIMIZATION

These are the main challenges facing the process industries today, and process control is one of the most important tools to these ends.

APC Performance LLC offers services designed to help clients rapidly achieve top quartile Basic Process Control (BPC) and Advanced Process Control (APC) core-competency.

What is APC 2.0?

APC 2.0 combines enduring process control principles that predate APC 1.0 with valuable lessons that have emerged during APC 1.0.  APC 2.0 represents a more agile, affordable, and owner-friendly approach to APC.

Base-Layer APC

Base-layer APC means multivariable control designed for the base-layer, with high availability and high execution speed.  This is a natural product of APC 2.0 concepts and a perfect fit for many APC applications.

APC Metrics

At APC Performance LLC, we believe that APC metrics, like APC itself, can be a more practical and effective tool to measure and manage your APC program.  The Loop Intervention metric is to APC what "loops in manual" and "bad actor alarms" are to alarm management.

Understanding the matrix for APC improvements

More agile tools are helping multivariable control become more effective for advanced process control and other applications than traditional model-based control (MPC) and real-time optimization. Process engineers, operations personnel, DCS and APC engineers, and other process operation and optimization stakeholders benefit from understanding the matrix.

Multivariable control as a core competency

A healthy multivariable advanced process control (APC) layer should be a core-competency of the process industries.

Feedforward: Not as popular as expected, again

Feedforward and feedback: Multivariable control, like single-loop control, can be accomplished primarily with feedback control and selective (not wholesale) use of feedforward.
