Increase plant output Improving process efficiency is one of the many ways in which HIMax can be used to increase plant productivity and profitability. How? HIMax is engineered with truly advanced computational capability, providing powerful floating-point calculations in the CPUs and fast I/O processing algorithms. Predictive controls can therefore be used to build dynamic models that safely reduce the band between the set point/process variable and the defined trip level. In an ethylene cracker, for example, such modelling could contribute significantly to the output of high quality...
