Finding controls issues earlier helped reduce commissioning risk and create a faster path to production.
An aggressive startup schedule meant controls issues discovered in the field could lead to delays, additional contractor expenses, rework, and missed production milestones. Apperture Solutions provided a custom dynamic process simulation environment integrated directly with the control program, allowing critical operating scenarios to be tested before physical equipment was available and helping uncover configuration errors, logic flaws, and sequencing issues before field commissioning.
Combining process expertise, controls engineering, and custom simulation development, Apperture Solutions helped reduce commissioning effort, minimize field rework, and give project teams greater confidence heading into startup. The value was clear: the facility started five days ahead of schedule, delivering an estimated $1.9 million in business value while meeting critical project objectives.
