Geometric Process Control
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is to remind you of the upcoming opportunities to learn
about or catch up with the rapidly developing field of
Geometric Process Control (GPC).
As a particularly topical
example, high energy prices are here to
stay and it is therefore increasingly necessary to reduce
operating costs and minimise fuel usage to remain
competitive. New knowledge is the essential basis for
operating cost reduction no matter what the incentive. This is
exactly what GPC enables you to
extract from existing process and quality history data. It
does so in a
form that is easily and directly usable, without requiring
mathematical specialists. GPC was invented here in the UK
and continues to develop and evolve with two more patents
awarded in just the last month.
The joint IChemE / Inst. of
Measurement and Control evening meeting at the Wilton
Centre, Redcar on September 22.
Dr Robin Brooks will be
covering the scope of GPC from visual data analysis for
process improvement through to creating a realtime operator
guidance model for a batch process. He will also be showing
why GPC is the successor to SPC for the process industries.
Dr Stephen Gill of Huntsman Petrochemicals will talk about
their success in using visual data analysis for process
improvement. Admission is free but it is mandatory to
register in advance with
piburton@compuserve.com. If you can't make
it to Redcar there is a second opportunity the following
week...
The Emerson Process Control
Academy in Leicester on September 28th.
Go to

for full information. The third opportunity is for Foxboro
Users only...
The Foxboro User
Group in Gatwick, Surrey on September 21.
Contact the Foxboro User Group
directly for more information about the event and becoming a
member or use the
contact us form on our website
www.curvaceous.com if you have lost
their contact information. We will also have a stand at the
NEPIC 'Meet the Neighbours'
event in Yarm, Cleveland on September 29.
Contact
www.nepic.co.uk for more information about
this event.
Those of you who have encountered GPC before will remember
that it solves long-standing chemical engineering problems
with practical ideas that are striking for their originality
and simplicity. This is one way to define 'Innovation' and
we were therefore very pleased to have been one of the three
finalists for the Carbon Trust Innovation Awards last April
and now to have been selected as finalists for the
Innovation Awards of both the IChemE AND the IEE for judging
later this month.
Please forward this email to
your colleagues and visit our website
www.curvaceous.com. Contact me
clare_brooks@curvaceous.com if you think
GPC might be able to assist you with operating cost
reduction for your plant.
