This
article presents final technical and economical results of
the comprehensive control rehabilitation project done for the ammonia
synthesis plant at JP Nawozy, GA ZAK S.A. The project included the
following activities: review of the existing control philosophies
and instrumentation infrastructure, design and implementation of the
new control loop templates, and tuning of the revised controls over
the entire installation. These activities improved installation operation
with much more reliable and repeatable dynamic responses. Simultaneously,
the overall installation efficiency has been also increased. This
initiative is considered as the prerequisite for further control system
upgrade with use of advanced process control and process optimization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
