A key component of any process control upgrade project is the initial benefits analysis, which defines the correct scope based on the plant's economics, production requirements, and equipment capacity. A major study was undertaken by the Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering in collaboration with over 40 professionals from industry, government, and academia to establish a method for control benefits analysis aimed at Australian industry. This study addresses the organizational aspects of personnel interviews and data collection, as well as technical issues such as calculations and plant tests needed to predict control benefits. While the individual components of the method are not new, their integration provides a unique and coherent approach not available elsewhere. The paper also details seven industrial case studies that demonstrated substantial benefits, ranging from 1.4 to 6% of operating costs. The findings suggest that the developed benefits method is widely applicable to various processing plants, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing the profitability of process upgrade projects.
