Chemical Batch process Plant
This project was the complete design and project management
of the electrical services, control systems and software
for a new batch manufacturing process.
The control system
was centred around a Mitsubishi PLC communicating with
sensors, actuators and drives on Profibus PA and DP.
The plant included a number of pumps, mixing
tanks and a pressurised reactor (containing hydrogen) together with over 20+ analogue sensors for
pressure, temperature, pH, flow and level. All the actuators
for the 30+ valves were controlled through the DP bus.
The area around the reactor was classed as a Zone 1 hazardous
area requiring specialised design and installation in
that area. |
