Case Study: Petkim Petrokimya Holding A.Ş. achieves 4.54% higher feed rate and 2.71% lower energy consumption to operate at maximum capacity with Honeywell’s Profit®Suite

Profit®Suite Helps Petkim Petrochemical’s Flagship Plant Operate at Maximum Capacity

Petkim Petrokimya Holding A.Ş., operator of Turkey’s flagship ethylene plant, sought to run the unit at maximum capacity while reducing energy use. In 2010 Petkim selected Honeywell and its Profit®Suite advanced process control solution to improve productivity and manage plant equipment constraints across the ethylene, LDPE and PP expansion.

Honeywell implemented a package of 20 multivariable model predictive controllers using Profit®Controller, Profit®Optimizer and Profit®XL Bridge, integrating a SPYRO furnace model to coordinate targets and constraints; the full project was completed in about 12 months. The Honeywell solution stabilized operations, raised feed rate by 4.54%, cut energy consumption by 2.71%, and delivered 110% of the contractual guaranteed benefits.
