Remove cycling in a plant and the entire operation will improve. ExperTune has released this web-based presentation that outlines methods for eliminating cycling in process plants.
The presentation is available at no-charge, anytime, anywhere via: http://www.expertune.com/present.asp?name=derivative The most typical cause of cycling in process plants is from valve stiction or hysteresis. Aggressive tuning, non-linearities, and loop interactions are also other causes.
The first step in removing cycling is identifying the cause.ExperTune's full suite of optimization tools are designed to increase the efficiency of your process. ExperTune's PlantTriage monitors and assesses the entire plant, assuring optimal operation. ExperTune's analysis includes simulation, modeling, robustness, linearization, valve wear analysis, pH linearizer, time series analysis, multivariable, statistical, frequency response and PID tuning tools.
