FeedForward has completed a Yokogawa CentumCS 1000 DCS as an upgrade to an existing Yokogawa Yewpack Mark II DCS. The batch process produces a rheological paint additive through a two-step reaction. The CS Batch 1000 recipe and batch management package, which is ISA S88.01 compliant, is used to operate and monitor the batch process. The unit operations include polymer drying, raw material flow and weight charging, reaction, mixing the polymer with solvent and water, and material transfer. In addition to the batch and sequence logic, the field control station performs regulatory control, discrete control, and interlocks. FeedForward is responsible for the hardware and software configuration, including 10 graphic displays for the operator interface. The scope included a factory test and on-site start up support.
