DeltaV DCS Controls for Experimental Process Automation System

A process automation system originally designed with Allen Bradley Controls was requested by the client to be adapted to a DeltaV control system. Isolated DCS was programmed to control both sequencing events within the stripping column and looped analog instrumentation.

CLIENT: Akermin, Inc.

INDUSTRY: Carbon Recovery | Refineries

KEY FEATURES:

• Isolated DCS control system with specialized programming
• Control loops for continuous stripping process and analogue instrumentation
• Data sampling for various process controls: temperature control, level control, pressure control, etc.

CORE CHALLENGES:

• DCS had to be adapted to run both sequencing events within the column and looping events in the analog instrumentation simultaneously
• Controls were required to collect and measure data from various sampling points and instrumentation throughout the system
• Historical data trending and incorporation of client formulas to calculate carbon capture outcomes with graphical representation
