CHEMICAL PROCESSING CASE STUDY

THE CHALLENGE

S M Control Engineering Ltd carried out the design, assembly, installation and commissioning of a complete control system for a Chemical Production Facility.



THE SOLUTION

The control system was responsible for:

• Intake control & monitoring of Bulk Raw Material from Tankers.
• Control & monitoring of Bulk Raw Material Temperatures.
• Monitoring of Raw Materials from IBC.
• Monitoring of Minor Additives and Raw Materials from other sources.
• Blending of required mixes based on formulae including Raw Material quantities, temperature & mix control.
• Quality Control & rework of completed mixes.
• Control of transfer of completed mixes to Holding & Day Tanks.
• Control of transfer from Holding Tanks to Day Tanks.
• Monitoring of Holding & Day Tanks levels.
• Interface with Extruder Control System.

THE VALUE

The design of the control system is such that critical failures and incorrect setup prevents control from taking place and stops control in a safe and controlled manner.
