Is Your Advanced Control Full of Hot Air? Increasing Uptime, Reducing Cost In the highly competitive world of process manufacturing, even the cost of steam can be an important financial consideration. Although only a source of low-density energy, waste steam is virtually free as it’s collected from other industrial processes across the production environment. Compared to the typical cost of steam production, waste steam comes at a fraction of the cost of producing intermediate steam and can prove a valuable contributor to profitable plant operations. Some advanced control strategies applied in industry look to maximize the use of waste steam. But when process upsets occur persistently a plant’s uptime is put at risk. Even the most advanced control strategy can be derailed and cost cons
