Emerson completes digital automation, improves operation of polystyrene plant in Argentina

18-Apr-2008

Emerson Process Management announced production gains and reduced plant downtime through a multi-year digital automation project at Petrobras Zarate, a polystyrene manufacturing facility 80 kilometers north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through the modernization, production rose by 3 to 5 percent - to 66,000 tons per year. The plant's availability is now 99 percent and product reliability is up by 2 to 3 percent. The plant, which produces high impact, general purpose crystal and bioriented sheet polystyrene, is part of Petrobras Energia, an integrated energy company in Buenos Aires.

As Petrobras Zarate's process automation supplier, Emerson provided consulting, staff training, and installation of its PlantWeb® digital architecture, AMS® Suite asset management software, and DeltaV(TM) automation system. The project modernized the plant's high impact and crystal polystyrene facilities, including the water, steam and air utilities and the reactor operations.
