Intelligent electric actuators provide flow control at South Korean chemical plant

07/04/2022

Over a 100 multi-turn and part-turn intelligent electric actuators have been installed at a new petrochemical site in Daesan, South Korea. The IQ actuators will provide flow control at the plant which produces ethylene, polyethylene and propylene.

该项目是现代石油库和乐天化学物质之间的关节。它被发现在韩国首都首尔西南50英里处。新设施将每年生产75万吨乙烯，750,000吨聚乙烯和400,000吨丙烯。这些化学物质被广泛用于制造塑料和合成橡胶，从而使汽车零件和其他工业材料（例如包装和管道）。执行器已安装在工厂中的裂缝单元中，以控制生产过程中心的原料的油流。他们操作球，门，地球板和蝴蝶阀。

The customer was impressed by other similar Rotork projects within South Korea and there are more than 500 A-range and IQ actuators in an existing plant they own. Stability of operation and local service capability on those projects led to them choosing Rotork for this critical petrochemical site. The customer also highlighted that choosing these actuators resulted in reduced cable, installation and commissioning cost.

Rotork主站提供了一个本地中心，用于监视和控制流控制资产。它是PAKSCAN网络循环的控制接口，能够在三个单独的字段网络中运行多达240个执行器。执行器将通过Rotork领先的PAKSCAN™网络总线系统链接，并通过安装在控制室中的Rotork主机连接，操作两个独立的循环。
