Summary

Successful implementation of modern microprocessor based control instrumentation and process management systems offers the potential for significant raw material and energy cost savings in Bayer Plants. These benefits can be achieved in new plants or from modernization of existing plants.

This paper reviews the hierarchical control available with modern systems. The management, hardware selection, system design, maintenance and support requirements for successful implementation are covered.
