Total production modernization

Company profile

A large chemical enterprise producing over 1.2 million tons of ammonium nitrate and nitric acid.

 

 

 

Before implementation:

  • Heating of cables and switching equipment due to old/worn electrical facilities. It leads to fires and shutdowns of production sites.
  • In the cost structure, the cost of electricity is at least 40%
  • A global re-equipment of production starts, which will radically change the landscape of the company, including the specifics of energy consumption by 2024.
  • Enterprise management aims to create a “digital factory”

Project results:

  • Increase the speed of reactions on accidents from 2 hours to 2 minutes
  • Reduce shutdowns and average recovery time
  • Build forecast dispatch schedules for consumption
  • Monitor current power consumption of workshops and analyze it
  • Monitor the status of switching equipment
  • Aggregate data for analysis and comparison in purposes of optimizations

Project Prospects:

  • integrate existing commercial metering into the System, refuse from the analogue compare electricity consumption with the load of the workshop (production of final products)
  • associate consumption with repair schedules
  • compare metering data to electricity purchase planning
