Prompt, accurate flow detection rate and response
Case Study
2400 series Feedforward control is excellent for chemical dosing
applications
Customer Challenge
The 2400 process controller is very suitable in the treatment of waste water,
petrochemical processes and other additive dosing applications because any
possible disturbance to the levels of chemicals added are detected before they can
affect the ongoing process.
Solution
Feedforward is a method for detecting disturbances in the upstream flow and
forwarding this information to the controller so that it can change the output before
the disturbance affects the downstream ratio.
So, in the diagram shown, the upstream flow rate from the flow meter (FT) forces an
immediate change to the output of the controller (OP) and so causes an immediate
change in the Dosing Pump speed.
This Feedforward method is ideal for any process that is subject to upstream
disturbances. This type of disturbance is invariably found in either liquid or gas
systems.
Customer Benefits
• Feedforward control can avoid the slowness of integral feedback control because
the disturbances are measured and accounted for before they have time to affect
• The dosing rate immediately tracks any changes in flow rate and so prevents any
possibility of over or under dosing
Typical use of technology
• Liquid Level - Boiler Drum Level
• Chemical Dosing - Paint Mixing, Brewing,
• Industrial Distillation – Brewing, Petroleum Refineries, Petrochemical, Chemical
Plants, and Natural Gas Processing Plants.

Case Study
2100 series 5 Mode Timer feature enables cost effective temperature and
process control
Customer Challenges faced in the food beverage industry
Global market forces are driving the continual evolution of the food and beverage
industry. Consolidation, changing consumer preferences and increasing government
regulations are dramatically impacting manufacturing and business strategy. In this
fiercely competitive marketplace, consistent high quality and cost effectiveness are
critical to meet consumer demand.
Solution 2100 Controller
Eurotherm acknowledge these commercial pressures and our products ensure
simple cost effective process control. Even one of our simplest, compact controllers
has useful cost effective features.
The 5 mode timer in the 2100 temperature process controller may be used to
control batch operations, e.g. food production, ovens, sterilisers, fryers. An ideal
application would be single dwell at the end of either a controlled ramp rate or
natural approach to setpoint without the need for an additional timing device.
Available Timer Operation Modes are:
• Dwell and Switch Off
• Time from Cold and Switch Off
• Delayed Switch On
Benefits
• This maintains a target temperature at the end of a ramp rate without the need for
an additional device, thereby simplifying the process
• Easy operation with customised interface that presents only the parameters that
the operator needs to see. All other parameters can be locked away under
password protection.
Typical use of technology
• Small Ovens, Fryers, Sterilisers, Incubators
