Description:

Controlmax commissioned and performed the SAT (site acceptance test) of the electrical control system consisting of:

MCC (Cutler-Hammer F660 withdrawable MCC, dual incomers, bus couplers, fan starters, sub feeders, and instrumentation).

Control Room Control Panel (bespoke console, mimic, annunciators, analogue process indicators, manual controls, and separate UPS cubicle).

Fire Vent Control Panel (bespoke dual sided through wall control panel, fire damper controls, PLC failover system, PLC override system, system status indication, manual controls and integrated steelwork UPS cubicle).

Main Vent Control Panel (bespoke control panel, annunciator, analogue instruments, Eurotherm 2604 PID controllers, Sarco SX75+ PID controllers, system status indication, manual controls, hard wire safety circuit, Allen-Bradley FlexLogic PLC duty controls, motorised damper controls, modulating damper controls, steam valve controls and integrated steelwork UPS cubicle).

Waste Processing Glove Box Control Panel (alarm detection, indication and isolation controls)

Field mounted modulating damper for air flow and depression control.

Field mounted modulating steam valves for process heating.

Field mounted differential pressure and flow instrumentation.

Controlmax developed the Functional Design Specification reflecting finished plant specifications for future reference; incorporating all process variables, system interlocks and operator interface points.

Controlmax trained operators, shift personnel, fire & emergency personnel and electrical and mechanical maintenance personnel in both hands-on sessions and lecture theatre based environments and developed interim and final training guides.
