Which outcome impairs ethylene plant operations when PID loop integral windup occurs in a PLC controlling reboiler steam flow?

💡 Explanation

Oscillating bottoms temperature occurs because integral windup causes the PLC to accumulate large erroneous corrections. This overshoots the correct steam flow, therefore, oscillating column temperature results, rather than a steady stable temperature achieved with properly tuned PID gains.
