Industry/Application: Chemical - Process Equipment for Tank Farm Storage, Mixing, Distribution
Description: One of our applications deals with receipt of chemicals from trucks and railcars, transfer of chemicals to large holding tanks, withdraw of chemicals from large holding tanks, and mixing of chemicals to produce the desired end product.
The electrical and control system involved includes power distribution, Motor Control Centers (MCC’s), control enclosures with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s), Human Machine Interface (HMI) enclosures, and instrumentation for measuring level and flow. These systems must be designed to function in a Class 1, Division 1 or Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Environment.
Our role in these projects is to design the electrical and control system, fabricate UL508A electrical panels, prepare PLC and HMI software, coordinate the activities of field electricians, and perform system testing of the complete chemical processing system.
