The Bentonite Drying Plant Automation Project involved the automation of the existing fluidized bed dryer units, in order to minimize operator intervention, optimize operating parameter stability and provide monitoring / control functionality in the Control Room, ensuring product output uniformity and repeatability.
The following main areas of control / monitoring were studied in detail:
Additionally we monitored other parameters such as flue gas temperature and dew point, fuel temperature, pressure and flow parameters, and feed conveyor speed.
