Emerson Digitally Automates Expansion of Guixi Copper Smelter in China
Emerson Process Management has engineered, installed, and commissioned PlantWeb® digital architecture for advanced automation of Jianxi copper Company's expansion of its Guixi Smelter in Jiangxi Province, China. The smelter's annual production capacity will be increased by 300,000 tons of copper and 800,000 tons of sulphate, making Jiangxi the largest copper producer in China. The smelter started up on time in August, 2007.
Automation engineering took place at Emerson's Pudong Engineering Centre near Shanghai. Emerson technicians worked with smelter personnel to integrate the DeltaV system with Rosemount® instruments, Fisher® valves and FIELDVUE® digital valve controllers, and the AMS Device Manager. Emerson was also responsible for final acceptance testing of all products and systems, control system configuration, training, and other on-site services.
The Guixi Smelter Plant of JCL, constructed originally in 1985, is the first copper refinery in China to adopt the international advanced oxygen enrichment and double convection and double absorption technology. Major components for this technology were imported from Japan and Finland and put into operation in 2003. Planning for the current expansion began in 2007 to keep the smelter at the forefront of copper production in Asia.
