Traditionally,
in a pulp mill, different operations such as woodyard, digester, recovery
boiler etc., is controlled from separate control rooms. By integrating the
management and control systems of the entire production process of the mill
into a single control room the efficiency and productivity of all processes
will be increased. The fully integrated control system will provide
unparalleled connectivity and full plant overview of the whole process and all
devices.
The control center where the control room will be situated, will be designed to
apply the latest advances in ergonomics, design and layout to ensure the
operator environment is attractive, efficient and conducive to cooperation
between all employees at the mill, resulting in one of the best operator
environments in the world.
To this end, all operators will monitor and control the entire mill from eight Extended Operator Workplaces, fully integrated operator solutions that provide process control, access to the right information and unrivaled opportunities for personal intelligent ergonomics, in a single solution.
The order also includes a simulator for testing the control of all processes in
the mill before delivery, and for operator training and process optimization
over time. To ensure that the commissioning of the entire plant is as smooth as
possible, five simulators will be used at the same time before and during start
up.
