Advanced Process Control

Run your plant at its true potential.

Field-proven advanced process control that minimizes losses and maximizes profit — without changing your plant's assets.

Typical performance improvements from advanced process control

+7% Production capacity
+3% Product yield
−9% Energy consumption
3 mo Average payback

Typical results across refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants.

Trusted by

Teams running plants for the names you already know.

The opportunity

Most plants leave margin on the table — every minute.

Operating conditions drift, constraints stay hidden, and operators can't see the gap to optimum in real time. Alpha closes that gap with advanced process control, so your plant runs at its best around the clock.

Why Alpha

Measurable gains, no plant changes.

More throughput

Push closer to real constraints and unlock capacity you already have.

Lower energy

Hold optimal conditions to cut energy per unit of product.

No asset changes

Control layered onto your existing plant — no new hardware.

Fast ROI

Value shows up in the first weeks of rollout, well before the project is finished.

Technology · The hub

AlphaPilot — the heart of the Alpha suite

One plant model at the centre of every Alpha application — built as a knowledge graph in AlphaPilot, and powered by ChatAPC.

AlphaPilot is where your plant lives. Equipment, instruments, control loops, models, limits and prices are drawn once on the AlphaPilot canvas and kept as one plant knowledge graph. AlphaData, AlphaModel, AlphaNRM, AlphaExplorer and AlphaMax — the multi-unit optimizer that guides your APCs and operators — all work from that same graph, and ChatAPC — the AI inside AlphaPilot — answers any question about it, with every answer traced back to the plant.

How we work

Consulting, projects, and AI for advanced process control — built around your team.

Consulting

Independent assessment of where control can unlock the most value.

Turn-key projects

Design to commissioning, with a short and measurable return on investment.

AI

ChatAPC, grounded on your plant’s own knowledge graph, from day one.

Vendor-independent either way — bring in our engineers, or run the same technology yourself.

3 months average return on investment

A typical engagement pairs a rapid assessment with AI-first advisory from day one — ChatAPC, grounded on your plant's own knowledge graph — delivering measurable throughput and energy gains within the first year.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do we need to change our DCS or hardware?

No. Alpha layers advanced control onto your existing plant and control system — no asset changes required.

How long does implementation take?

A free assessment comes first, then a turn-key implementation scoped to your plant. Most sites see initial value within the first few weeks of rollout — full commissioning timelines depend on your plant's complexity.

Which industries do you serve?

Refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants.

How do we get started?

A free assessment identifies the biggest opportunities in your plant — with no commitment.

Who owns the system once it's deployed — us or Alpha?

You do. Alpha is vendor-independent — bring in our engineers to run it, or train your own team to operate the same technology yourselves.
