Process Performance Prediction (PPP)

Process upsets such as abnormal heater coking, catalyst higher degradation, absorber or column foaming/ flooding, off-spec product quality, are critical issues in any process plant. Operators often get to know them when it's too late to avoid production loss and shutdowns.

Combining industry expertise with cutting edge AI and GenAI technologies, the Visionaize team has developed solutions to not only predict upsets early, and minimize production loss and shutdowns, but avoid them altogether.

Avoid Plant Disruption with Early Detection

Process upset does not just prevent heater run length, catalyst remaining life, or product quality from being met. It often leads to shutdowns, which can have severe impacts on productivity.

Process Performance Prediction combines unique industry expertise with innovative AI &GenAI to help facility owners minimize these impacts.

Increase Your Productivity, by Avoiding Upsets & Shutdowns

  • Avoid process trips, production loss and reduced yield
  • Eliminate off-spec product issues
  • Maintain high safety standards of process system and equipment
  • Reduce shutdown, cleaning and restart-up costs
CASE STUDY

Ammonia Plant: Predicting CO2 Excursions

A leading chemical and fertilizer company faced issues with foaming in their ammonia plant's CO2 absorber, causing CO2 levels to surpass specifications. This led to downstream temperature spikes of the methanator, affecting catalysts and triggering plant shutdowns. The resulting production loss, cleanup expenses, and safety concerns posed significant challenges for the client.
