Emerson to install Plantweb at Indian power plant

An Emerson Process Management product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 9, 2008

Emerson Process Management will digitally automate three new 130-MW (3 x 130 MW) thermal units at a captive power plant serving Bhushan Power and Steel in Orissa, India.

The plant provides electricity to Bhushan's 2.5 MTPA (million tons per annum) integrated steel plant.

Emerson will install its Plantweb digital plant architecture with the Ovation expert control system in the three new coal-fired units being built.

It is hoped this will meet the growing power demands of Bhushan's integrated steel plant, which is being expanded to provide additional capacity for long and flat products.

The current power plant consists of one 40-MW unit, one 60-MW unit and two 8-MW units.

The expansion project will begin with the start-up of two 130-MW units in autumn 2008, followed by a third 130-MW unit in 2010.

Emerson's Ovation system will control balance-of-plant processes, steam and water analysis and continuous emissions monitoring for the new power-generating units.

The Ovation system will also interface to the Siemens turbines and Foster Wheeler-designed IJT boilers.

Ovation incorporates embedded advanced control algorithms; a mission-critical, Fast Ethernet network for high-speed communication of plant information; a powerful controller to optimise plant performance; and a full line of analogue, digital and special-purpose turbine and boiler I/O modules.

Emerson will provide 31 redundant Ovation controllers and AMS Suite predictive maintenance software, which streamlines device configuration and commissioning for more efficient plant start-up.

Emerson will also provide 47 Rosemount 3051 transmitters.

Ovation will manage approximately 24,500 I/O points at the three new units.
