ANDRITZ APC for PAP delivers advanced process control for tilting pan filters in phosphoric acid plants, ensuring consistent, high-performance operation through predictive stabilization and increased yield.
In phosphoric acid plants ( PAP) , production is highly sensitive to variations in raw material quality, solids content, and process interactions. With ANDRITZ APC for PAP, operators gain a fully integrated advanced control solution that keeps the entire process on target — maximizing efficiency, stability, and phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) recovery.
Optimize your phosphoric acid plant performance through predictive control
ANDRITZ APC uses model predictive control (MPC) together with ANDRITZ Digital Twin technology to forecast process behavior and automatically adjust operating parameters. This ensures tighter control of critical variables such as solids, sulfate, and P2O5, enabling more stable reactor operation and improving the consistency of downstream filtration.
Digital Twin intelligence for real-time decision-making
ANDRITZ Digital Twin provides continuous, real-time predictions of reactor characteristics that typically rely on delayed laboratory samples. This allows ANDRITZ APC for PAP to react faster, keep the reactor within optimal limits, and reduce the variability that leads to inefficiencies and production losses.
Flexible integration for all PAP configurations
The system supports dihydrate, hemihydrate, and hybrid process setups as well as various filter and reactor designs. It manages operational constraints, guides operators with clear recommendations, and enhances overall process coordination across all production steps.
