APC Project for CITGO
CITGO Petroleum Corporation has just awarded a contract to CFPA, (MAVERICK's affiliate for Advanced Process Control) for design and implementation of APC on its new CV-1 Crude Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation Unit at the Lake Charles, LA, manufacturing complex.

The scope of the project includes a combination of Inferred Properties (for prediction and control of key distillate product qualities); Advanced Supervisory/Regulatory Control (ASC) of key variables, such as fired heater outlet temperature; and model-predictive, multi-variable control (MPC) utilizing Honeywell's RMPCT™ MPC software. Two RMPCT controllers will be implemented: one for the Atmospheric Column and one for the Vacuum Column. The ASC control variables will be used in the MPCs as important manipulated variables (MVs). The project will begin in April and will require about nine months to complete.

Bakery Control Systems Upgrade
MAVERICK Technologies has been awarded a control systems upgrade project at a leading Southeastern U.S. bakery. The work will consist of upgrading mixing system controls to current levels with a new PLC utilizing Contrologix and HMI utilizing Wonderware. Field controls will be updated with new flow meters and weighing systems. The system design is more open, which will allow the plant to expand and interface with other control systems and business systems, such as SAP. The system will be easier to maintain, and will allow for more intuitive operation of the manufacturing facility.

MAVERICK was selected due to our expertise with these systems and our proven execution methodologies. We will supply design engineering, system programming and implementation/start-up services.
