Automation solutions for enhanced efficiency
Since the composition of the raw biomass used in production processes can vary widely, accurate production and consumption data are essential for safe, reliable and profitable operation. This must be complemented by seamless interoperability with the final control elements. These elements eventually perform the necessary safety and control actions that impact the overall plant performance.
Valmet’s automation solutions and Industrial Internet technologies enable companies that produce and use biofuels and biomaterials to improve the efficiency of their operations.
Final control elements, such as automated on-off and control valves, must be capable of handling a wide variety of biomass feed safely and reliably. Through accurate control, on-demand switching, and shut-off, they ensure that the desired process efficiency and product quality are achieved. For example, with a plant-wide Valmet DNA automation system, an optimized mix of rotary and linear control, metal- and soft-seated technologies, as well as intelligent controllers (including positioners and on-off controllers), bio-energy companies can have precise control of their processes and get the data needed to continuously optimize them.
