Description:

In end-1998, Koa Oil (now a part of Nippon Oil Corporation) embarked on a comprehensive advanced control implementation at its two refineries in Marifu and Osaka. The advanced control implementation involved implementing multivariable controllers and optimizers across all the major process units in both refineries plus a separate oil movements & blending optimization project. Koa selected Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions’ Profit® Suite for multivariable control. At the completion of the project in mid-2001, a total of 22 Profit® Controllers (Formerly Robust Multivariable Predictive Control Technology - RMPCT controllers) and 2 Profit Optimizers® were implemented at the two refineries. The estimated benefit from all these applications is estimated as about 4 million dollars per year. This paper specifically deals with the multivariable controller implementation at the #4 crude unit at Marifu refinery and describes the major highlights of this application.
