Applications Engineer:
PPCL was founded in 1994 and are the inventors, developers, owners and promoters of Geometric Process Control (GPC), a family of products including C Visual Explorer (CVE) and C Process Modeller (CPM).
GPC is based on multi-dimensional geometry and makes it possible, for the first time, for the CVE user to look at many hundreds of process and result variables in a single graph and, by importing Operating Objectives, to see Operating Windows and Operating Envelopes. For realtime use the Operating Window and Envelope are exported to the CPM product which uses ML to construct a high dimensional geometric model. CPM includes an Operator Display and OPC Clients for connection to DCS and/or Process Historians. One of the main requirements for using GPC is good domain knowledge and understanding so as Chemical Engineers we are proud to support the world’s process industries.
We have an immediate vacancy for a chemical/process engineer. This is a permanent salaried appointment with a probationary period and is based in UK with some foreign travel required.
Duties include pre-sale and post-sale prospect and customer support, analysis and model-building using CVE and CPM; teaching of customer classes products and on GPC applications such as Alarm Rationalization, Early-Warning prediction of developing process and equipment faults, finding Operating Windows and Operating Envelopes in Client data for use in Continuous Improvement, Operating Excellence, Multi-variable Quality Control, Response Surface interpretation such as in Formulation Science, Multi-mode and multi-phase model creation in continuous, multi-grade and batch processes; drafting and getting approval from Clients for promotional “success” stories; creating articles and presentation materials; presenting at industry conferences and occasionally at Trade Shows.
