- Customer
- Cinkarna
- Duration
- 1987 - 2004
- Objectives
- Improved handling of a complex process using the automation of continuous and batch sub-processes (ore digestion, hydrolysis, gel washing, chemical treatments, etc).
- Description
Large-scale technological process control according to the S88.01 standard, including:
- basic control
- advanced control solutions
- continuous procedural control
- batch-recipe control
- coordination control
- Innovation
- Consistent use of the lifecycle concept in control systems’ design, the development and employment of advanced control algorithms, innovative recipe notation making possible the handling of simultaneous phases.
- Benefits
- Increased capacity, higher yield of the raw materials (savings of approximately €400.000 per year), possible savings related to environmental taxes (due to a decreased quantity of waste gypsum) of approximately 180m tolars per year, improved quality of most of the sub-processes, some of the sub-processes can be controlled only by means of a computer.
