Cement Plant Control-FLS

Introduction

FLSmidth Automation`s electrical control and engineering concept is based on

FLS/ACE ( Adaptable Control Engineering )

FLS/AME ( Advance Measurement Equipment )

FLS/ECS ( Expert Control System )

FLS/PCI ( Power Control Integration)

By combining our systems with our knowledge in the cement industry and our supplier independence FLSmidth Automation is able to design an optimal solution with focus on maximum run time, low production cost and minimum investment.

The design experience covers all aspects from the incoming feed to the factory, down to smallest transmitter, from turn key engineering to co-engineering. This will make FLSmidth Automation the ideal partner both in design of new production lines, as well as a partner in renovation of existing production lines.

FLS/ACE, FLS/ECS and FLS/AME

The FLS/ACE system is the platform for the design of the control system. The system is object based, with everything tied together in an object. There is a link from the operator system or the engineering station to everything related to the object, such as PLC programs, drawings, manuals, database, pictures, and it is possible to link to a preventive maintenance system.

The FLS/ECS platform is the platform containing all the optimizing tools specially developed for the cement industry for optimizing the production; ECS/Pocess Expert, E C S / C e m S c a n n e r a n d ECS/Plant Guide.

The FLS/AME platform contains all the special measuring equipment for cement, such as gas analyses systems, Indutherm for measuring temperature on kilns or mills and the well known folaphone for mill control.

Many years experience in designing the electrical systems for a cement factory is needed in order to ensure that all aspects are incorporated.

By only having one responsible for designing the electrical system all the way from the incoming feed to the last transmitter the risk of mistakes is reduced substantially.

FLSmidth Automation Configurations

System Example 1:

This configuration drawing is from a retrofit project with FLS ACE/SYS software concept and Rockwell Automation CLX PLC. The client at this factory preferred Rockwell CLX PLC but had recently installed a new cooler with a Siemens S7 PLC. As the FLSmidth Automation system is able to interface with several PLC systems the investment with S7 was not wasted.

This retrofit job included an upgrade of the Motor Control Center with intelligent units on a Devicenet (Rockwell E3+ modules).

System Example 2:

This configuration drawing is from a retrofit project with FLS ACE/SYS software concept and S7.

The interfacing to the MCC is traditional parallel.

For this installation the client did not want redundant ethernet between the redundant server system and the PLC placed in the MCC rooms.

ACESYS covers the following control tasks:

Operator station Trend and Alarm System

The trend and alarm handling in the ECS/Opstation system is a very powerful and easy to use tool both for the operator in the daily operation of the plant, but also for the management and the maintenance department in the ongoing optimization of the production and improvement of the run factor.

Each time a new measuring point is selected and the trend icon is activated, the measuring point is added to the trend. It is possible to add 8 measuring trends into one chart.

If the assembling of the number of trends are to be used several times, it is possible to save it as one of the 250 trend packages available in the system.

The alarm reporting system is developed to satisfy both the operator in his daily work, and the management for analysing the production performance.

The alarm filtering facility is a powerful tool in analysing the errors, and thereby improving the run factor.

Operator Station

In the ECS series, the ECS/OpStation software program for advanced Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) runs on Microsoft’s Windows 2000 operating system. Integrated in the ECS environment it offers a set of basic process-control functionalities with object-based drivers to process controllers, process object database, object and event treatment, and data logging and trending.

ECS/OpStation’s object-based control structure enables access to all related supervision information and control commands with a simple right-button mouse-click on any mimic object.

Link to Preventive Maintenance Maximo

High-level ControlFLSmidth Automation has long been acknowledged as being the pioneer of using Fuzzy Logic techniques for high level process control. Around 200 systems have been installed worldwide since the ECS/ FuzzyExpert system was introduced in the late 70's. Initially, the ECS/FuzzyExpert system was mainly used for kiln control but in the recent years a number of installations for mill and cooler control has also been successfully commissioned bt FLSmidth Automation

Using high-level advanced process control, ECS/FuzzyExpert has resulted in the following benefits:

! Improved process stability through continuous, accurate and consistent process evaluation and control actions! Rapid control and suppression of process upsets ! Lower operating costs through energy and maintenance savings! Better, more uniform end-product quality! Better utilization of human, capital and material resources! Minimized emissions and environmental effects! Release of operators from routine control actions

The ECS/FuzzyExpert system aims at forcing the operation trends towards the optimum point.

The operator interface of ECS/FuzzyExpert-CementMillOptimisation system is based on the proven concept of ECS/PlantControl HMI enabling operators fast and easy access to control performance measures and trends, select/de-selct control loops, insert off line quality measurements, process alarms and event diagnostic.

ECS/FuzzyExpert-CementMillOptimisation has typically resulted in:

] 3-8% increase in production] 3-8% reduction in specific

power consumption] 10-20% reduction in standard

deviations of product quality

Management Information SystemFLSmidth Automation's Management Infomation System, MIS, solution is called ECS/PlantGuide. The purpose of the ECS/PlantGuide system is to be a "Data Warehouse" and to integrate and archive all relevant plant data (process, chemical analysis and cement dispatch data) into one single dedicated database.

Today's plants are typically supported by several computer systems linked together by a Local, Wide Area or Satellite Network. The ECS/PlantGuide server makes process data available to any client that has a requirement, regardless of physical location.

The aim of ECS/PlantGuide is to

! Enable a user-frindly access to the key plant data for management use! Ensure consistency and reliability of data for management use

The main focus of a MIS system is data storage and general data availability. This means that important requirements to a MIS database are storage capacity, flexibility, data availability and security. To meet these requirements the ECS/PlantGuide server database has been developed based on the Microsoft SQL server database. The SQL server database has the flexibility to store both process and lab data in a readily accessible format, and has the capacity to store large amount of data. The data archiving facility of SQL server allows the user to store and retrieve data for a period of several years.

In addition, ECS/PlantGuide has the following features in order to fulfill the above mentioned objectives:

! Advanced trending and reporting capabilities! Possibility of designing special reports for ! Special mimic diagrams form the factory level! Data export to various formats e.g. MS-Access, SQL, HTML ect.

The operator can be evaluated against pre-defined weighted- target values of the process control performance.

! Process operator training in an absolute realistic environment,! Increasing operator skills in reaching pre-defined production quantity and quality targets,! Operator skill evaluations,! Increasing operators skills in interaction with and optimal utilisation of a modern control system.! Enabling process engineers and designers in testing their ideas before practical implementations

A typical pay-time of an ECS/CEMulator investment can be justified by the savings in a production stop/waste of one shift in a middle size cement plant of 3000tpd. Thus systematic training of operators in a cement production plant has a direct impact on, not only plant safety and environment protection but also the overall plant economy.

Gas Analysis - Emission measurement and ReportingTradit ional ly Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) on cement plants has been limited to dust monitoring in order to fulfill legislational demands set by the local authorities.

Due to an increasing number of demands on protection of the environment, cement plants must now deal with even greater reductions on emission values and the reporting of these. On the other hand plants are investing in CEM systems in order to burn waste, obtain ISO 14000 certification or adapt to the Cement Sustainability Initiative. Given these possibilities the benefits of the CEM system are:

• Reduce fuel cost• Reduce emission• Burn waste• Obtain waste disposal fee income

The configuration of the CEM equipment must reflect the legislation enforced by the local authorities or a specific production approval for a given plant. In determining the best configuration for a specific country/plant, We can provide you with the most suitable solution by not being dependent on any specific sub-supplier.

CEM calculation and reporting system. Optional integration into FLSmidth Automation ECS control system packages for full data integration and safety. Please see separate ECS detailst for CEM reporting

For sampling, preparation and cleaning of the gas used for analysis highly specialised components must be used. Corrosion is avoided by using heated components or corrosion resistence material. For any of the systems the kiln inlet process gas sets the standard as the most corrosive. The system can be installed in a electrical cabinet GASLoq 1200 or in a pre-sampled housing for easy installation on site GASloq CUBE
