The Yokogawa equipment is being supplied on a 'turn-key' basis, and the contract includes, in addition to the main control system, the fieldbus based communications and networking, field services, audio IP and CCTV systems and maintenance services over a 6-year period.
In addition, because of the synergy with the control system, Yokogawa Italia will also supply to the main package suppliers and BOP contractor companies, under the co-ordination activities of the Hera Ingegneria Grandi Impianti division, all the field instrumentation for the plants.
This is Foundation Fieldbus based, and includes around 1000 transmitters, 50 flowmeters, and 30 analysers over the five plants.
The control systems are based on the reliable Centum CS3000 DCS, of which roughly 18,000 systems have been installed worldwide, to carry out the management, automation, supervision the control of the plant, including all equipment and subsystems for the ovens, boilers, steam turbines and smoke purification systems.
The field communication system chosen by HERA is based on modern fieldbus technologies including Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus DP.
Each system in the main plant will acquire data from 7700 physical points (including the field bus) and about 5500 other serial inputs from various subsystems.
In the other plants, the corresponding values are 4500 physical points and 4000 serial inputs.
'We are delighted to have won such a major order which offers great benefits to the environment' said Yokogawa Italia: 'especially as Yokogawa was selected for this contract after a highly competitive international tendering process in which several other leading automation companies were involved'.
