Dome Petroleum Limited's 1,500 MMcfd Empress gas plant has been controlled by a process computer for the last two years. The controls include a process control computer and three gas chromatographs. Ethane and propane recoveries have been increased substantially with control. Experience gained in the project will be useful in planning and executing future computer control projects.
