Advanced process control technology is the core technology of computer integrated process syste . Advanced process control is usually based on regulatory control of the DCS and FCS systems. It makes use of the strategies of multivariable predictive control, intelligent soft sensor and flowsheet calculation to achieve the following goals: improve the control quality of complex industrial process, enhance the anti-jamming ability and robustness of the system, and thereby improve the overall benefit and competitive vitality of the plant.

At present, the number of advanced process control solutions used by process industry over the world has reached several thousand s . The common investment return period is between 6 and 10 months. It can reduce the production cost by an average of 5 %. Advanced process control has been regarded as a new and high technology which requires small investment and yields high benefits. It is an important measure to enhance the automation of process industries.
 
 

 

ZHEJIANG SUPCON SOFTWARE Corporation Limited started the research, development and implementation of advanced process control technology from 1993, and released APC-Hiecon multivariable predictive control software, which was successfully applied to many industries, including petrochemical, oil refining and chemical industry. ^It takes 10 years to forge a magic sword. ̄ In the year 2003, the company successfully released the APC-Suite series of software, which integrated advanced process control software platform, robust multivariable predictive control , intelligent soft measurement and technical computing. ZHEJIANG SUPCON SOFTWARE has become a leading provider of advanced process control software and service in China .
