Abstract
The On-Line MORPHYLANE(R) Advanced Control System MACS has been develo ped by Krupp Koppers as a sophisticated tool for plant operation optim ization. Rigorous plant simulation models reflect the process and crea te the basis for the calculation of the main plant parameters as well as the related controller setpoints. The system and its interaction wi th a DCS have been successfully tested at the Krupp Koppers offices. T he improvement of plant economics under MACS supervision is mainly due to improved benzene recovery from the feedstock without any deteriora tion of the product quality specified.
