Address Distillation Process Control During Design Phase to Save Energy and Increase Capacity

Through a series of examples, this paper examines strategies to address basic process control issues during the engineering design phase to increase system capacity and improve on-spec performance. It also presents a view of process control as a life-cycle discipline, rather than an activity that begins after startup; and it shows how improved process control often has a powerful impact on energy efficiency – even when you don’t expect it.
