Cogeneration

• Power supply made dramatically reliable thanks to CENTUM CS 3000 with seven-nines availability
• Visualization of almost all plant data on the same HMI by linking up subsystems via Modbus
• Improved plant performance

• Reduced cabling costs by using a commodity GPRS network infrastructure
• Additional reduction in system cost by making full use of existing components
• Reduction in cost of software by using all web-based technology
• Long-term service contract — no need to worry about a suspension of maintenance services

• Monitoring and control of the entire cogeneration plant including the two once-through steam generators
• Reliable and cost-effective power supply
• Operator-friendly HMI

Nishi Nippon Environment Energy Co., Inc. was founded in 1990 with the concept of a full, safe and comfortable urban life by harmonizing the global environment with energy-savings. Also, as a total energy industry corporation, which is promoting the efficient use of heat energy for the region, it is developing a broad business on the theme of civic improvement in the 21st century by preparing a stable city infrastructure.

• All correct operation procedures are carefully configured in the CENTUM CS 3000 and smoothly in operation
• CENTUM CS 3000 ensures stable supply of electricity and steam to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport

• Yokogawa provided digital transformation solution to TP Utilities power plant under Co-innovation program.
• Operation Management solution digitized shift handover and knowledge base for safe and efficient operations.

• Steady boiler control by CENTUM CS 3000 with dual redundant CPUs and seven 9s availability
• Total plant information integrated into supervisory information system via OPC interface
• Reduced water, coal and other resource consumption

In general, refineries exhibit a very good potential for real time monitoring and optimization using Visual MESA Energy Management System.

Based on our extensive experience, overall benefit in the range of 2% to 5% of the total energy cost can be achieved. Expected project payback is always less than one year.

Industrial facilities where power and steam is produced (i.e., Cogeneration) exhibit a very good potential for real time monitoring and optimization using Visual MESA Energy Management System.

Based on our extensive experience, overall benefit in the range of 2% to 5% of the total energy cost can be achieved. Expected project payback is always less than one year.

Visual MESA was successfully applied to many industrial facilities worldwide, several of them operating steam and power generation networks of different complexity and capacity but all with energy cost savings. 

Optimizing the maintenance cycle is not always straightforward. In some cases, cleaning once a week is sufficient and other processes may require every 8 hours.

Select the correct pH glass and reference type to improve your pH sensor lifetime and you can limit or even eliminate the effects of temperature and pressure on especially the reference sensor.

Learning these four lessons will help you improve your engineering skills and most importantly extend the life of your pH sensors.

The lifetime of a pH sensor has a significant impact on the overall annual costs of a pH measuring loop. Optimizing four key factors will decrease these costs and optimize process control and overall plant efficiency.

Kind of. Calibration itself will not extend the life of a sensor, however, a sensor that is not calibrated properly can cause unreliable measurements - that are often misdiagnosed leading to unnecessary replacements.
