1 PagesCorn Sweetener Facility Enhances Product Quality through Loop Performance Optimization MA VERICK engineers believed that an analysis of the extensive historical data would determine patterns from which an automated system could recognize not only an under-performing loop, but also loops that trend toward an unoptimized state. Objective The customer needed an automated method to detect poor process loop performance in an older, legacy control system. Loops optimized during commissioning and startup quickly experienced performance degradation. The goal was to correct poor loop tuning before significant process losses were incurred and to monitor and communicate loops trending in the wrong direction. Results MAVERICK experts identified several poorly performing loops by analyz
