Instrumentation, Controls, and Electrical Master Plan

Relevant Technologies:

 
 

Client Goal

  • Optimize the total and specific power consumption by maximizing efficiency without reducing production
  • Reduce troubleshooting time
  • Reduce engineering timeOperate with full process machinery interlocking
  • Reduce downtime by utilizing preventive maintenance techniques associated with a Process Control System
  • Optimize closed control loops and production.
  • Optimize process control and manpower demand

Project Overview

Tegron's client owns a Plant that has been in operation for many years and the Electrical/Instrumention/Controls have been in use from the Late 60’s and & 70’s.

The project involved the development of a Plant Electrical Master Plan is the first part of a five year plan to upgrade the Plant Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Systems to position plant operations for the next twenty years. The Master Electrical Plan is essentially the concept and baseline information/requirements for defining and budgeting the “Electrical and Controls Design Phase” of the overall migration and upgrade Projects. The Master Plan was accomplished by surveying the existing plant process areas and gathering information from key Plant personnel. personnel in determining the reccomendations made in the MP. The Single Line Drawings were used to document changes in the Plant made over many years. Data from The EMP was used to determine the Phased Schedule and Budget for the Plant Upgrade Project.

Scope of Supply

  • Survey Plant to provide equipment and systems status/condition reports including Control Rooms.
  • Provide Updated Plant Single Line Diagrams
  • Provide problems and issues report for each plant process regarding Electrical and Instrumentation
  • Provide preliminary design for PCS Fiber Optic Network
  • Provide recommended replacement list for Electrical and I&C System. Provide data used to support Budget for future Plant Upgrade Project.
  • Provide recommended implementation schedule for Phased Plant Upgrade Project

The Outcome

  • The Master Plan (MP) Project was executed on time and on Budget.
  • Future implementations of the design will lead to reduced Control and Electrical systems troubleshooting time, improve machine interlocking, optimize power consumption
