This yearly award is made to individuals who are recognised as making an outstanding contribution to process safety in Europe.
The root cause of the poor performance and operator distrust of alarm systems today has always been the inability to calculate process alarm limits because, remarkably, there has never been a mathematical definition of what constitutes an alarm, until now.
Curvaceous have utilised multi-dimensional geometry to link not only alarms but process control and product quality control into one mathematically coherent whole, and consequently can now calculate exactly what values alarm limits should have relative to the current process operating point and your longer term business objectives.

This problem solving application is entitled Geometric Process Control (GPC) and enables even the unskilled and mathematically inept user to calculate and set precise alarms AND understand their process in the process.
"Each plant has a sweet spot or Best Operating Zone (BOZ) and an operating envelope which we can for the very first time show to the plant operators" states Brooks, "our new discovery has positive consequences not only for safety in terms of better alarms and far fewer false alarms but also for increased plant efficiency and hence revenue".
All of your existing process data can be utilised and its potential realised and capitalised upon.
Additional process experiments are not needed.
Business benefits such as improved process efficiency and product quality, not to mention shrinking costs due to false alarms and reduced start-up times, are just a sample of the possible profit avenues that can be enhanced.
The Curvaceous Software vision is to supply a previously unsatisfied yet growing process industry market with data analysis, modelling and control solutions that everyone across an organisation can use.
With Curvaceous it is simple, effective and you don't need to be a mathematician to control and understand your process.
