Using Spiro Control applications, chemicals manufacturers can respond to customer needs efficiently and maximise the yield of their most valuable products. Our competence and know-how in chemical unit operations makes us an ideal partner for improving operations.

Using Spiro Control applications, food and beverage manufacturers can run plant operations in a much more stable manner, with fewer equipment failures, extended time between cleaning of equipment and, ultimately, less downtime. Our strength lies in increasing the reliability of continuous operations that are run in extreme conditions.

There are a number of energy-hungry unit processes involved in pulp and paper production. Tightening regulations, increasing energy costs and growing competition all combine to increase the need for better control of these units. As well as reducing energy consumption, our solutions can help you increase production rates, and improve stability.

No matter the scale of the operation, our all-in-one cost-effective solutions can deliver benefits measured in terms of increased process reliability that far exceed total project costs.

Changing weather conditions present major challenges for predicting and delivering a reliable supply of electricity. Spiro Control applications enable real-time adjustments to maximise power generation and provide advanced analytics for accurate energy forecasting and delivery.

The challenge of controlling complex mining processes is compounded by the scarcity of qualified and experienced operational personnel. Spiro Control applications can help ease the stress on operating staff by automating responses to process disturbances. Example use cases include stabilising grinding circuit operation and flotation circuits operation to improve energy consumption and throughput.

Using modelling techniques and real-time data analytics, we can aggregate the interests of users, creating the possibility of bidding into the energy market and selling or buying extra energy at critical moments. By effectively managing supply and demand of energy, performance can be optimised and costs minimised.

Reducing the volatility of a power generation process means it can be operated closer to the plant’s economic optimum point. Rather than operating within a comfort zone, you can run at the limits of a process without risk of violating constraints. An example use case is combustion optimisation. Spiro Control applications can manage the optimum distribution of fuel and air in the boiler to reduce emissions while improving combustion efficiency.

Since the evaporator products contain no more energy than the feed, all the heat that is applied to separate them is ultimately lost to the environment. Consequently, the more efficiently the process is operated, the greater the energy savings achieved.
