Abstract: This paper states that traditional computerized process control has amounted to nothing more than automation of manual methods. Features of these control systems is adherence to predetermined time/temperature profile, one to one strategy, and inability to compensate for uncontrollable factors. Controllers are available off the shelf which are capable of much more. Better control strategies are available using off the shelf hardware. These measure the state of the dyeing (or other) system in real time, compute the estimated final state of the system and make process adjustments on the fly to come to the desired process result.

Full Work Author: MA Office of Technical Assistance
Section Author: Richard, Paul; McLaughlin, William
Abstract: Case study from Warren Massachusetts, a small town with a textile dyeing plant, whose POTW was in serious noncompliance. A Microtox portable analysis of the textile effluent indicated that Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APEs) exacerbated by glauber salt was the source of the toxicity. Dyes with linear chains were substituted for the APEs. However the linear chain appear to be only partially digested at the POTW so additional online tracking at both the POTW and the textile plant was undertaken.
