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

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