Distillation is one of the most critical and energy intensive processes in a chemical facility.
Variability of feedstock, flooded columns, and poorly tuned loops can cause variability in final product, as well as increase energy consumption.

Emerson’s advanced control solutions offer a pre-engineered, modular offering to deliver model predictive control (MPC) process control algorithms. These embedded advanced process control (APC) technologies can be applied to various unit operations, including specific pressure and temperature control loops.
The Emerson Rosemount™ high density temperature transmitter allows up to four temperature measurements to be made with one transmitter. This technology minimizes installation costs and allows more insight into temperature profiles for tighter control, with increased accuracy over direct wiring. Additionally, the Rosemount™ 3051S offers statistical process monitoring along with advanced diagnostics which can provide early indication of column flooding. This early indication allows for operations to adjust and avoid off spec product and increased energy consumption.
