Completion of Automation Cabinets for Petrochemical factory

FTLV has completed a project for assembling automation cabinets for the refrigeration unit for the Petrochemical factory’s Ethylene Oxide Purification Unit.

A refrigeration unit at a factory is essential for cooling and maintaining optimal temperatures during the technological process. Control of the refrigeration unit is complex due to the hazardous environment, which requires precise control to prevent accidents.

The automation cabinets are designed to control equipment in hazardous areas and include

- A DCS section with a redundant Siemens S7400HF controller
- An ESD section with a PROFIsafe modules
- More than 100 intrinsic safety barriers
- Redundant power supplies

Refrigeration unit control system must integrate seamlessly with other systems in the factory, maintaining exact temperatures for product quality and yield. Equipment reliability is crucial, demanding regular maintenance and robust design to minimize downtime. Additionally, optimizing energy efficiency is vital to reduce costs and environmental impact.
