Detroit Thermal Boiler Controls Upgrade
FeedForward recently completed startup testing on a 500,000 lb/hr boiler controls upgrade for Detroit Thermal, a provider of heating steam for downtown Detroit buildings. The project includes replacement of Pneumatic Combustion Controls (CCS) and relay logic for Burner Management (BMS). The new CCS and BMS Controls each use fault tolerant ControlLogix processors and I/O connected to Intellution HMI in the central control room. The attached system configuration drawing shows the overall layout. FeedForward's scope of supply on this project includes the following:
- A control system Functional Specification including P&ID's, I/O list, SAMA diagrams, instrument list and graphic displays
- Design and procurement of ControlLogix hardware and software and four enclosures
- A complete I & E construction package for installation of the control system enclosures, wiring, instruments and power
- Onsite installation supervision and startup support
