PlantTriage Biggest Payback Loops
Focus Your Efforts on the Most Important Issues
|
The "Biggest Payback Loops" shows you where to focus for the greatest economic return. The higher the Average Economic Assessment the greater the benefit to your plant you will achieve by improving the loop. PlantTriage knows about the technical and the economic importance of each control loop. Using this information, it is able to prioritize the work required in your plant. When problems start to occur in the plant, the loop name will work its way to the top of the Biggest Payback Loops list. If a new loop suddenly appears on the list, you know that something has changed in the plant, and it is worth investigating right away. Success Story with Biggest Payback LoopsAt Borealis Polymers, in Poorvoo, Finland, PlantTriage improved a system start-up, using Biggest Payback Loops to identify issues.

"I have a PlantTriage report that I check every morning. Overnight,
PlantTriage said there was a problem with a repulper valve. Within an hour,
there was a sheet break, and the repulper valve stuck fully open, causing a
machine shut down. PlantTriage saw that problem before the operators
did."
