One of the key products is high density polyethylene (HDPE).
However, the 75,000 t/y HDPE plant was making use of old, pneumatic instrumentation which required expensive and often obsolete spare parts.
As a result, maintenance had also become a major issue.
In an effort to reduce maintenance costs and increase staff efficiency, the plant's operators turned to Invensys Systems to provide a solution.
Invensys implemented a Foxboro I/A Series System with the latest field bus modules.
Field Device Tool was also used because the plant I/O is all HART based.
The most important control functions, including the emergency shutdown system, use Triconex Trident technology.
At the field level, Foxboro intelligent transmitters with HART capability were used throughout the HDPE plant.
Invensys Systems also developed programmes such as Historian Messages Viewer and Top Alarm specificially for this customer.
"During the first 100 days of operation we have only had to make one intervention on instrument equipment.
And with the new flow measurement technology, we have also improved energy consumption," said Paun Milovanovic, Assistant Manager in the plant instrument department.
"In addition, we had no problems during start up, with operators easily mastering the new production controls.
As a result, in October we set a new monthly production record of 7000 tonnes of HDPE," he added.
