Placing a Value on Proper Logic Design and Tuning

Why should you purchase our services? 

Using State of the Art Boiler Control Logic and Controller Tuning CTD is able to improve your facilities performance, increase revenue, decrease O&M cost, all while maintaining safety and stability of your unit. See our paper "How to Select an Engineering Firm To Tune Your Boiler" to learn what questions to ask your servies providers.

Traditionally only two of the three important criteria could be achieved.  Accuracy, Responsiveness, and Stability.  Something had to be sacrificed in order to have the other two.  Most plants would end up with Accuracy and Stability making the plant respond very slow and creating large missed opportunities for revenue.

This was the result of logic that was copied from the original pneumatic controls or from the limited electronic controls that were available at the time.  As the control systems were replaced little or no attempt was made to improve the control strategy.  The result is the slow responding units we have today.


CTD, by using improved control schemes and state of the art tuning methods, is able to achieve all three goals for you plant.  Logic improvements to the feedwater system, coordinated control system, fuel delivery system and other systems greatly improve stability and responsiveness.  Proper tuning completes the process by insuring that safety and reliability are maintained.
