A plant’s operational and financial performance is optimized by using appropriate levels of automation; and DP has designed and implemented an Advanced Automatic Boiler Control solution which controls the complete boiler process. By automatically regulating the boiler load and output, stable boiler operation is ensured. All DP plants incorporate a level of automation which enhances performance and reduces cost. However, automation as a standalone improvement for plants with minimal automation will minimise the number of staff ; reduce human error and significantly and positively impact the performance and lifetime of the boiler. DP offers advanced, customised and patented proprietary automation packages for integration to both new and existing plants; as well as providing the commissioning and operator training to ensure that the benefits are fully realised.
