  • Advanced Regulatory Control - ARC

    Enlisting More Variables Advanced Regulatory Control - ARC Enlisting More Variables aeSolutions process control specialists solve problems with Advanced Regulatory Control (ARC) when single variable PID control is not adequate. Cascade, feed forward, ratio, Smith predictor, and override controls are standard methods to include an additional process variable in PID loops to compensate for process dead time, or non-linearity. Multivariable and model-based controls are employed for more complex process automation challenges encountered in chemical plants and refineries. aeSolutions helps the client's process engineers take advantage of the multivariable control capabilities found in the latest generation of DCS systems. These offer real time performance with multivariable models available at the controller's function library level. Automation Services Previous Next

  • PHA : Terms and Acronyms

    Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a process for analyzing hazards with hazardous chemicals. The goal is to recognize potential causes and evaluate the consequences of hazardous chemical releases. PHA studies are the core of process safety and risk management programs. They help companies identify hazard scenarios that could lead to a release of highly hazardous chemicals that can cause negative impact on people, the environment, and property. PHA also is required by OSHA's PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) and EPA's RMP (40 CFR 68) regulations in the US and process safety and risk management regulations around the world. Types of PHAs include: - Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) - What if - What-If/Checklist Analysis - Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) - Dust Hazard Assessment - Control System Hazard and Operability (CHAZOP) For information about aeSolutions' Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) services - Visit: https://www.aesolutions.com/process-hazard-analysis-pha-service Acronyms & Terms Glossary <- More Definitions PHA Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a process for analyzing hazards with hazardous chemicals.

  • Cause and Effect : Terms and Acronyms

    Cause & Effect (C&E) diagrams show the relationship between sensor inputs and their required outputs. C&Es provide a clear and concise visual representation in tabular form, allowing users to quickly and easily view multiple functions within a process area or logic solver. They are commonly used as functional specifications for PLC-based programs, such as a Safety Requirement Specification (SRS) for a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). As such, they are of critical importance to successful implementation of the Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) in any functional safety project. While C&Es are not directly required by the ANSI/ISA-61511-2-2018 / IEC 61511-2:2016 standard, they are often included as an extension of the SRS, making them a part of the Safety Lifecycle. aeSolutions C&E diagrams use standard industry terms or terms that the client has clearly defined and are named, formatted, tracked, issued, controlled, and checked per aeSolutions company procedures unless superseded by specific client requirements. Our C&E templates have been developed from many years of experience to optimize ease-of-use for configuration, testing, operator training and turnover effectiveness. In cases where the functional complexity exceeds the capacity of C&Es, our staff is capable of selecting the most efficient alternate format.

  • Alarm Management Program Audit Service - aeSolutions

    aeSolutions audits alarm management programs against ISA 18.2 and IEC 62682 to uncover risks and guide improvements toward operational resilience. Alarm Management Program Audit Service Click Here to Chat With Our Alarm Management Program Audit Experts Evaluating Alarm Management Program Performance, Compliance, and Operator Effectiveness Is your facility meeting the EEMUA 191 benchmark of fewer than 1 alarm per operator per 10-minute period during normal operations? aeSolutions provides Alarm Management Program Audit services to assess how well your alarm management practices are performing against established standards, internal procedures, and operational expectations. Our audits take a holistic view of your program, examining not just documentation, but how alarms function in real-world conditions, ultimately taking your facility from risk to resilience . Even well-designed alarm systems drift over time. Process changes, DCS upgrades, console consolidations, and staff turnover gradually erode the alignment between your alarm system and your operating reality. Without periodic assessments, this drift compounds: alarm rates climb, standing alarms accumulate, operators lose confidence in the system, and critical alarms can be masked during upsets. Under OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119), alarm system changes intersect with operating procedures, training, and management of change requirements, making unmanaged drift a compliance exposure, not just an operational nuisance. aeSolutions provides independent alarm management audits that evaluate both your documentation and your actual system performance, identifying where targeted improvements will deliver measurable results. Our Alarm Management Program Audit services include: Evaluation of alarm system performance against ANSI/ISA-18.2, EEMUA 191, or IEC 62682 benchmarks and industry guidance Analysis of alarm rates, standing alarms, and alarm flood conditions Review of alarm prioritization, configuration, and consistency across the system Assessment of operator interaction with alarms and response effectiveness Review of alarm rationalization practices and documentation quality Evaluation of alarm lifecycle activities, including monitoring, maintenance, and change management Identification of nuisance alarms, bad actors, and opportunities for reduction Delivery of a detailed audit report with prioritized recommendations for improvement aeSolutions collaborates with your operations, engineering, and process safety teams to translate audit findings into practical next steps. Whether your goal is to improve operator performance, reduce alarm noise, or strengthen alignment with industry standards, our audit expertise helps ensure your alarm management program is effective, measurable, and built to support long-term operational resilience. — DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT — Evidence-Backed Results — Trusted By Industry Leaders — Chemical Manufacturing Energy & Power Generation Hydrogen Production & Processing Battery Materials & Minerals Processing Ag Chem Utilities & Critical Infrastructure Specialty Chemicals & Advanced Materials Renewable Fuels & Bioenergy Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences Manufacturing Petrochemicals & Hydrocarbon Processing Metals & Mining Processing Oil & Gas Production & Processing Chemical Manufacturing Energy & Power Generation Hydrogen Production & Processing Battery Materials & Minerals Processing Ag Chem Utilities & Critical Infrastructure Specialty Chemicals & Advanced Materials Renewable Fuels & Bioenergy Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences Manufacturing Petrochemicals & Hydrocarbon Processing Metals & Mining Processing Oil & Gas Production & Processing Chemical Manufacturing Energy & Power Generation Hydrogen Production & Processing Battery Materials & Minerals Processing Ag Chem Utilities & Critical Infrastructure Specialty Chemicals & Advanced Materials Renewable Fuels & Bioenergy Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences Manufacturing Petrochemicals & Hydrocarbon Processing Metals & Mining Processing Oil & Gas Production & Processing Learn More About aeSolutions — Let's Discuss Your Alarm Management Program Audit Needs —
