APC in Minerals with Boris Volavicius

PlantTriage is an award-winning PID tuning software that continually monitors your plant to identify issues, prioritizes the information, uncovers the root cause of issues and provides a complete set of tools to resolve problems.But, what else can it do? Listen in and find out.

The merger of Valmet and Neles was completed on April 1, 2022, and now operates as one company. Together we have a unique offering for the global process industries and 17,000 top professionals around the world.Performance Solutions (Expertune) has migrated into Valmet Automation Systems. We will continue to offer our award-winning software of PlantTriage, PID Loop Optimizer, and Global Loop Optimizer. With our new resources, we have been able to improve upon Control Performance Services, and Control Performance Evaluation Services.

In this podcast, you will learn to use modern tools and approaches to improve sustainability. Sustainability helps you to meet today's needs without sacrificing the future. Digital tools and services can be leveraged to reduce waste, save energy and chemicals, and to streamline the work for plant personnel. This podcast shows practical examples and case studies for sustainable improvement.

An interview with Vince on how he uses his experience to return your plant to optimal performance. How he measures and reports performance, gets to the root cause of the problem, prioritizes corrective actions, and how performance can be sustained.

How are you maintaining optimal valve performance, extending valve life, focusing maintenance resources, minimizing unplanned downtime, reducing risk and total cost of ownership.

How do you keep your plant at optimal performance while working from home.

Return your plant to optimal performance with digitization. Control performance is a turn-key solution for plant performance problems and issues with poorly performing control systems.

Most industrial facilities are only leveraging a small fraction of the available process and equipment data, while many problems lie hidden in plain view. Large, expensive equipment can receive a lot of attention, while smaller, less expensive equipment is not monitored as closely. However, it should be, as up to 30% of control valves, for example, can improve process performance with minor repairs or upgrades.

In many plants, process engineers are guessing PID tuning numbers. The outcome of guesswork is increased wear on valves, shortened valve life, poor control, and inconsistent results. Expertune PID Loop Optimizer is a PID tuning software designed to eliminate the guesswork. It helps in properly tuning and stabilizing the plant, improves the reliability of valves, and makes it easier to sleep at night.

Boris Volavicius and Devin Cole discuss the importance of regulatory control performance to getting benefits with Advanced Process Controls.

This presentation shows new tools and techniques that have demonstrated success in finding, prioritizing, and resolving major issues in process plants.  Specific techniques and examples will be shown for: * Identification of instrument failures * Finding and quantifying mechanical issues with control valves * Measuring the effectiveness of the control system * Identifying control strategies that are no longer working properly * Measuring the performance of advanced process control

Control performance services are designed to identify controls impacting performance and helps you return to optimal production.
