Discover How To Run Intelligent Process Plant Operations

Empowering process & control engineers with the most powerful interrogation and visualisation technologies to intelligently solve their most complex challenges:

Process Plant Challenges

Alarm Limits

How do you reduce false alarms displaying throughout your manufacturing process? How do you properly position alarm limits to increase safety, efficiency and throughput whilst reducing operator costs?

Reducing Downtime

How are you identifying the frequency of events that lead to downtime? Do you have the best early warning detection for your operators? Are you making informed changes to your process to reduce the frequency of downtime?

Running Costs

Can you identify methods of improving the overall performance of your organization's production that will reduce the energy consumption and your overall expenses? How do you monitor live data to identify early warnings?

Plant Maintenance

Not being able to predict plant maintenance issues can be very expensive. Do you have early warnings in place to plan preventive maintenance?

Energy Reduction

With global pressures to meet lower emissions targets and significantly increasing energy prices, do you know how to use your plant historian data to quickly and effectively reduce your process energy usage?

Product Quality

Maintaining high product quality standards is a constant challenge. How do you detect a manufacturing process starting to deviate from the golden batch envelope?

Accelerate Your Digital Transformation

You Can't Afford To Wait

When your plant needs are complex, the solutions can be overwhelming.

Our software will get you the roadmap you need:

01

Assess Your Plant Historian

Starting with your organization's existing plant historian, we can identify the optimal next steps to improve your most challenging issues.

02

Optimise & develop an intelligent operating envelope for all your production lines

Our experts can work with your engineers to explore and interrogate large datasets, meet with your subject matter experts and engineers to teach practices to visualise real-time process modelling, create operating envelopes and optimise your plant’s transformation processes.

03

Harness all the benefits of our modern technology

Utilise the power of CVE & CPM and see how your plant harnesses the power of this unique technology to meet KPI's, increase efficiency and improve plant safety.

The Most Powerful Interrogation & Visualisation Technology

Our two software tools. CVE & CPM, combine unique powerful technologies, to offer industry-leading interrogation tools for subject experts to fulfil their insatiable curiosity across process plant operations and visualise real-time process modelling to predict & manage future plant performance.

Discover how to run optimised intelligent
process plant operations:

Analyze

Explore, Interrogate and identify areas of improvement from your plant's past performance. See your entire plant process in one visualization tool. What makes CVE unique is the thousands of variants from multiple datasets brought together to be analysed at the same time. With advanced filtering options, you can discover new insights and patterns that can truly make a difference.

Improve

Once you identify actionable improvements in your process, you can begin optimising your operating envelope and set new alarm limits. Using CVE to visualize each and every part of the production process, enables actionable behaviours or small corrections to be made at all levels of the plant.

Monitor

Get real-time alerts through CPM to keep your process in-line. The software monitors your process 24/7 and visually updates all operating variables within our visualisation tool to alert and prevent production issues. Control engineers have access to a display that tells, at a glance, whether the process is under control and operating within set operating envelopes. In alarm systems, CPM generates alerts that have the objective of keeping the process inside the fixed HiLo Alarm Limits found by CVE, allowing an increased level of process safety.

Control

Manage your plants ongoing performance with full operational insights by combining CVE & CPM. Utilising these powerful technologies on a daily basis, allows control engineers to run intelligent operations that maximise performance output, meet many KPI's and minimise safety risks. As the digitization of process plant continues, PPCL offer solutions and techniques that enable true data-driven decisions for improving all areas of your plant's production.

Testimonials

“The PPCL team, led by Dr Alan Mahoney, demonstratined outstanding expertise in understanding our processes and the complexities of our alarm system issues. CVE proved an invaluable tool in analysing multiple variables and setting alarm and operating limits across our four trains. It significantly reduced the preparation time for alarm rationalization and provided the team with an additional technical assurance on the alarm values selected.”

“I spotted CVE five or six years ago and thought it might be just the tool I needed to tease a fine (but very valuable) optimisation out of a noisy process. We knew simulation couldn’t do it – there’s a “black box” in the process that we can’t model with sufficient accuracy – but the answer was there in the data somewhere. We eventually convinced our organisation to try this tool late one year and used it in the first half of the next year to analyse our process. It worked! We expect that within 12 months we will have paid back the investment in CVE by over 100 fold!”

“C Visual Explorer showed us the real performance different between two identical process units in a way that everyone could understand – and then told us how to change our operations to correct it.”

“CVE improved our process efficiency by 2% in the first 3 weeks of operation. Reduced plant start-up time by a factor of 6.”
