Qenos Selects UNIPOL APC+(TM) for Its Alkatuff Plant. Check it out:
HOUSTON --(Business Wire)-- Qenos Pty Ltd has selected Univation Technologies' Advanced Process Control software (APC+) for use at its Alkatuff plant in Botany, Sydney, Australia.
APC+, a tool specifically engineered for the UNIPOL(R) PE Process, has been proven to improve plant performance by limiting process variability, reducing unplanned downtime, and increasing aim-grade production while maximizing throughput.
"We selected APC+ for implementation in our UNIPOL PE reactor because it's a cost-effective way to significantly improve plant performance while working within our already-existing facility constraints. We expect to start realizing immediate payback when the software becomes operational sometime in the first quarter 2007," said Rod Campbell, Qenos Product Technology Manager.
Univation APC+ software runs on a Microsoft(R) Windows platform for easy integration into already-existing third-party technologies and enterprise resource planning systems. Having already been implemented at many other UNIPOL commercial operations worldwide, the software has been shown to increase production rates by as much as 9%, improve transition efficiency by as much as 35%, and raise on-stream time by up to 2 percentage points. These improvements can translate into millions of dollars in savings yearly.
The Alkatuff plant produces 120 kta of primarily LLDPE for domestic Australian consumption and has been operational since 1992.
Univation Technologies, LLC is the world leader in licensing gas phase polyethylene technology. Univation has comprehensive technology programs focused on the UNIPOL(R) PE gas-phase process, conventional catalysts (UCAT(R) catalysts), and metallocene catalysts (XCAT(R) catalysts and PRODIGY(R) catalysts).
