Industrial processes requiring steam on demand can now improve their steam provision and reliability, while reducing production costs.
The ABB Ability™ OPTIMAX® platform, in combination with the dedicated Advanced Process Control (APC) application, enables superior management of the complexity of a steam network.
The combined solution calculates the variation of fuel and power prices by pulling data from the market in real-time, and drives the most efficient and cost-effective choice on whether to buy or generate power in-house to produce steam.
ABB Ability™ OPTIMAX® consistently delivers more efficient process operation by balancing the power and steam supply, from several steam heads down to the specific needs of an individual one.
