20080236679 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR FIELD-INITIATED FLUID REGULATION TESTING - Systems and processes may provide field-initiated testing and/or control of fluid regulatory systems. In one aspect, a fluid regulatory testing system may include a field test initiator and a fluid regulator control system. The field test initiator may alter control signal delivered to the fluid regulator control system upon activation of a user input device. The fluid regulator control system may receive control signals from the field test initiator and generate fluid regulator control signals. The fluid regulator control system may also detect whether a control signal has been altered, and initiate a fluid regulator testing sequence, if the control signal has been altered. The fluid regulator control system may include a latch mode. When a latch mode is commenced, generation of fluid regulator control signals based on received control signals and/or alteration of a position of a fluid regulator may be inhibited. | 10-02-2008 |
20090216350 | CONTROL VALVE AND POSITIONER DIAGNOSTICS - Valve positioning systems may include one or more components and a controller. Components may include one or more electric-to-pressure output converters, relays, gas supplies, and/or actuators. A controller may adjust a position of a valve by sending a signal. The valve positioning system may individually monitor components and determine the condition of each component being individually monitored. The valve positioning system may determine if a component will fail prior to failure and/or determine if a problem will occur in a component prior to the problem occurring. | 08-27-2009 |

20140236318 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FIELD DEVICE FEEDBACK - The embodiments described herein include a system and a method. In one embodiment, a system includes an industrial controller configured to control a first field device. The first field device includes an actuator and a positioner coupled to the actuator. The positioner is configured to position the actuator. The first field device is configured to detect an undesired condition and to communicate the undesired condition to the industrial controller by using a ReadBack facility of the first field device. | 08-21-2014 |
20150013786 | VALVE POSITIONER HAVING BYPASS COMPONENT AND CONTROL VALVE COMPRISED THEREOF - Embodiments of a valve positioner that can maintain operation of the control valve despite failures in one or more components. These embodiments reduce downtime by allowing in-situ repair to occur on the valve positioner. In one embodiment, the valve positioner incorporates a by-pass component, which can utilize control input signals (e.g., a 4-20 mA signal) to energize one or more components (e.g., a current-to-pressure converter) to cause the control valve to modulate fluid flow without the digital microprocessor and/or related components. | 01-15-2015 |

20080282124 | Predictive run testing - A test object can be selectively included in a test run based on predicting the behavior of the test object. In one embodiment, the present invention includes predicting how likely the test object is to produce a failure in a test run and deciding whether to include the test object in the test run based on the predicted likelihood. This likelihood of producing a failure may be based on any number of circumstances. For example, these circumstances may include the history of prior failures and/or the length of time since the test object was last included in a test run. | 11-13-2008 |

20080243310 | Production control utilizing real time optimization - Method of controlling production of a plant incorporating one or more chemical processes in which products are produced through consumption of raw materials. In accordance with the method, current production rates of the products are computed by semi-empirical process models that are corrected through error corrections of actual production rates to produce corrected models. The production is then optimized using the corrected models to maximize the variable margin gained upon the sale of the products. The optimization yields targets that either directly or at least influence consumption of the raw materials. The raw materials are then introduced into the process or processes in accordance with the targets. | 10-02-2008 |

20120089434 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHEMICAL DATA REPOSITORY - The invention provides a method of efficiently determining the effectiveness of managing a chemical or industrial facility. The method involves identifying various industrial site assets and recording various specs of those assets over time. The various assets are grouped according to some hierarchy such as location, problem to be solved, or just asset type. The specs are compared to acceptable ranges and are scored positively or negatively. The system allows a user to determine trends by asset type, spec type, or by position within the hierarchy. This system allows both small scale and large-scale perspective, and can be used for both reactive and preemptive decision making. | 04-12-2012 |

20090259323 | ADSORPTION CONTROL METHOD - A method of controlling a pressure swing adsorption unit in which a manipulated variable such as a capacity factor used by such unit in setting the bed cycle time is updated with a manipulated variable computed within a controller. The controller has a feed forward level of control in which the updated manipulated variable is calculated from a probability function when the product is likely to go off spec as determined by the probability function. In such manner, an optimal manipulated variable can be calculated that will maximize recovery in a manner that the probability of the product going off spec will be acceptable. If a specific impurity within the product is above a targeted range, a change to the optimal manipulated variable is computed with the use of a feedback level of control utilizing fuzzy logic. | 10-15-2009 |
