If you want AI to overcome limitations, give it more scalability
Artificial intelligence (AI) has caused a significant buzz not only within the hydrocarbon processing industry but also in everyday activities.
Integral vs. proportional gap for averaging level control
In process plants, many instances of level control are required to keep the material balance of the plant from integrating to undesired operating conditions.
Optimize product blending using Excel spreadsheets and Lingo software—Part 2
Linear programming (LP) for blending. LP is an optimization model that can be used to good advantage despite the highly nonlinear characteristics of the fluid flow-cash flow model.
Achieve zero execution errors through procedure clarity
It is well-documented that many unplanned manufacturing events could have been prevented if procedures were executed properly.
Key instrumentation technologies to tackle the toughest measurement challenges
Just as some people seek out extreme sports, process manufacturing has its extreme applications, and engineers who design for these environments must find ways to safely contain and monitor all manner of dangerous reactions and products.
