Abstract
Since April thru July 2017, it was reported that the downtimes and cycle times at the Environmental Operation Area of a manufacturing plant had increased, since the instrument and control systems are highly degraded. In addition, it was observed the treatment operations had constant human intervention to execute the process, causing delays to the manufacturing plant. A
Capital Road Map for the EOA Automation Project was developed after a detailed evaluation of the control system actual conditions. A three-phase capital investment road map was established to install a reliable control system, minimize manual
interventions and mitigate downtime & regulatory compliances. Capital funds for first phase were approved. Control System option analysis was performed and DCS DeltaV control System was selected, making the EOA control system the most advance system in the Plant. Key Terms ⎯ Control System, DCS, PLC, Commissioning.
