Title: Martin K Moran: Innovator in Process Control Technology

Introduction

Martin K Moran is a distinguished inventor based in Houston, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of process control technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique method that enhances the efficiency and accuracy of process management.

Latest Patents

Moran holds a patent for a "Multivariable process control method and apparatus." This invention enables on-line control of a process through feedforward computations of manipulated variable setpoints. These setpoints are modified during frequent optimization cycles by feedback trim, which is determined by the actual versus predicted effects of setpoint changes on the controlled variables. The system continuously polls and collects process, economic, contractual, and equipment parameter values to compute optimal setpoints before applying feedback trim. Drift factors are incorporated to provide on-line calibration of key measuring instruments. The invention also features self-tuning routines that update drift factors periodically, ensuring accurate process performance.
