Abstract
Advanced process control (APC) provides distributed control systems with wider functionality thus improving operations efficiency. At the same time, APC systems create a framework for higher-level optimization solutions. The paper outlines the key features and advantages of Honeywell Profit® Suite product family enabling effective and user-friendly design of layered optimization solutions. With a case study of a major Russian refinery it overviews the development and operation history of advanced control (AC) and optimization solutions from a PID loop up to a group of interrelated process units.
