MOPP. Made to Order Process Plants

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

New reactor technologies are set to change the operation of batch manufacture in the process industries into the "newwave" of semi-continuous Make to Order Processing Plants (MOPP). These have the potential to transform these sectorsby reducing the environmental burden, inventories and cost of manufacture and distribution. This project develops anadaptive 'Dial a Product' control system to deliver the precise control required for these unique high value low volumemanufacturing systems. Bringing together control design and analytical techniques to complement these reactors willenable the system to reach optimum performance and have commercial impact. The solution will offer the chance tochange the very way the industry operates. Instead of investing in a number of product specific batch reactors, a singlereactor will be used for a number of applications, allowing companies to reduce CAPEX or even work on a rental basis,bringing in reactors as required.
