The full integration of process and automation design and knowledge is vitally important to ensure a smooth and optimized process operation, minimized risks of production ramp-up delays and downtime periods and to guarantee high standards of health, environmental friendliness and safety .
For Tankhouses, maintaining a stable process by long-term production planning and proactive identification and elimination of disturbances is key to success, and the Outotec® Automation System is the answer. Outotec has several decades of experience in the incorporate metallurgical process and has collected this expertise together in a package that favours the customer’s everyday work. These benefits are gained with high equipment performance and efficiency, ease of operation and maintenance, low consumption of utilities and reagents, fast detection of factors causing disturbances and high and traceable quality of production.
Outotec Proscon® Hydro is a process control package for transferring our knowledge and experiences to our customers. The application includes a modern process control system, based on world-class automation systems and components, process instrumentation and process electrification with all of the required services.
The Wireless Outotec CellSense™ Electrolytic Cell Performance Monitoring System enables on-line and fast discovery of deviations in voltage levels or temperatures due to short-circuiting, flow blockages, busbar washing or other process or safety-related issues. Early and focused reactions to deviations identified on-line bring several significant advances and benefits for tankhouse operations.
Outotec® Tankhouse Information Management System (TIMS) is a new and modern data collection, reporting and management system to integrate Outotec® Material Handling System, Outotec CellSense™ monitoring and process control. Significant benefits are gained in increasing the energy efficiency, product quality and tracing as well as improving maintenance and safety.
