Improved control of a high viscosity application with automated control via feedback loops

Sun Chemicals CS1026 Reactor Ready Duo and Lab control software

Organisation: Sun Chemicals

Department: Pigments

Country: USA

Product: Reactor-Ready Duo and Lab control software

Case Study No: 1026

Situation

Difficulty in recreating plant simulations with a need to reproduce and resolve issues in manufacturing, specifically relating to viscosity of material.

Objective

Sun Chemicals wanted to improve control of a high viscosity application with automated control via feedback loops.

Results

  1. High torque application and feedback loops set up via the torque readings to automate and improve control.
  2. Better simulated plant conditions
  3. Allowed for better scale-up into manufacturing
  4. The customer has since increased their capability by purchasing a Reactor-Ready Pilot for greater reactor volume options.
