Process Industries
ExperTune serves the process industries. The process
industries convert raw materials like crude petroleum, wood
chips, and ores into finished materials like gasoline, paper, and
steel. The emphasis is on continuous or batch mixing, reaction
and separation of materials to produce other materials of higher
value. Chemical reactions often are involved, and the materials
often are changed on a fundamental level.
