Aspen DMC3

For January 23, 2017 Aspen DMC3 is technology of management of transactions and increases in profitability of production.

The software technology of DMC3 presents compromise economic solutions for management of tests at step change of parameters and creation of model. It excludes need of approach to the adaptive control by technology process (ACTP) as to the project, and creates continuous process of background quality evaluation of model, gathering of intelligence and creation of the new models reflecting change of operating conditions of the plant.

Intellectual software it is capable to reveal, isolate and correct problems, unloading engineering specialists. Main advantages of AUTP, in comparison with traditional approaches on the basis of steady values, include the functions providing the permanent analysis of a process model of management on the accuracy, selection of low effective areas of model, collecting of new data with characteristics of technology process in the background without stopping of production process installation work optimization and also monitoring of new data in real time and selection of incorrect data with the subsequent their removal. Facilitating formation of data, process management of step-by-step working off and obtaining results, AUTP expands opportunities and efficiency of the application. The technology of management created by AspenTech company is independent of the used system of distributed control (DCS) that is important in the conditions of the used mixed DCS systems. The functionality of Adaptive control by technology process allows to create high-quality models without the need for switching off of the controller, providing considerable reduction of expensive transactions on time.

DMC3 from AspenTech combines industry DMCplus technology with most innovation tools for creation and maintenance of work of managing programs, providing a full range of required functions. Software of Aspen DMC3 provides to the production engineer of an opportunity, allowing to adjust behavior of the controller depending on requirements of the current mode of operation (for example, at change of performance of Refinery or planned economic parameters of its work). Function of successful identification of model with restrictions in Aspen DMC3 allows to use the available data on technology process for formation of more effective forecast models in managerial applications.

On the one hand, AUTP in Aspen DMC3 provides a possibility of the choice of an optimal ratio of economic parameters for step working off and formation of model. On the other hand, function of stability in Aspen DMC3 allows to configure operation of the controller in the mode of optimization of management. Having exposed stability level, the production engineer can set a controller activity rate for reduction of risk of insufficient reduction of model to the set conditions. The binary choice is replaced with a continuously adjustable scale, providing careful regulation of a ratio between the technology and economic factors involved in AUTP.

The companies get essential advantages, including more effective setup of economic parameters in AUTP for compliance to continuously changing commercial tasks. Besides, users can configure behavior of the controller at trial working off now and also at stages of creation of model and preparation for operation.

More reliable control of technology process increases its efficiency and security, as well as quality of an end product. Steady management provides risk reduction, connected with bad setup and debugging of model. Software for AUTP allows to achieve the greatest possible performance of Refinery, to bring production volumes of the most qualitative products having the top price to a maximum and to provide optimum level of energy consumption.

Eliminating risk of existence of errors in model and increasing effective management of technology process in dynamics the software tool allows to optimize production process, to reduce the number of waste and to lower the total costs.
