Systematic Approach
Are you still guessing at your tuning parameters?
A well-tuned, reliable process keeps operations relaxed, lets engineers perform more improvements, and keeps management happy running at peak efficiency.
Our systematic tuning approach measures your process and tests the equipment. Then we mathematically match the dynamics of the controller to the dynamics of the process.
From bioreactors to boilers, Tune The Process has provided processes that are stable time and time again. We have personally proven our techniques in the life sciences, pulp & paper, power generation, combustion control, and specialty chemical industries. Our internal model control method provides predictable, repeatable results. View our case studies here.
Education, Training, and Support
With our systematic approach, a bit of training, and plenty of practice we can help you become the local tuning expert.
This actually makes both our lives easier because it allows us to communicate using the common language of process dynamics.
Tune The Process will be there to support you when those extra challenging and unique situations come up.
Advanced Control
Sometimes tuning a simple PID loop isn't enough to meet the process needs. Using advanced control techniques we can combine tuning, automation, and process first principles.
When the process is well known, additional performance can be achieved through the implementation of advanced control strategies.
Cascade, split-range, and ratio controls
Optimization loops and valve position controllers
Override and constraint control
Combustion Control
Whether it's boilers, dryers, or thermal oxidizers combustion control tuning and optimizing can save on fuel and operating costs.
We approach every situation with a inquisitive mindset to discover where problems might be hiding and where we can improve efficiency.
Finding equipment that is malfunctioning
Coordinating fuel, air, and oxygen levels to run at ideal stoichiometric ratios
Leveling fuel costs through advanced control of steam usage
