Design of Distributed Control and Emergency Shutdown System for Urea and Ammonia Plant

Abstract

In modern process industries, the need for automation has become necessary to improve the feasibility of production. Automation reduces the possibility of human error and also ensures accuracy of output. In automation and process industries, DCS is used to control several processes being carried out simultaneously with minimum scope for failure. In this project, we have proposed a design on Distributed Control System and Emergency Shutdown System which controls the processing of urea and ammonia. The software used for the Distributed Control System is Centum VP (Vigilant Plant) and the logic designer tool is used to design the control logics of the DCS and ESD.
