Emerson Completes Plantweb Expansion at Leading Hungarian Pharmaceutical Company
AUSTIN, TEXAS (February 2, 2006) -- Emerson Process Management announces that it has recently completed a $500,000 PlantWeb® digital plant architecture project at the Gedeon Richter tank farm in Budapest, Hungary. The project is an extension to the company's central tank farm installation which supplies four plants with solvents.
In planning the automation, Emerson's Life Sciences industry experts evaluated Richter's unique process requirements and selected PlantWeb as having technologies best suited to optimize start-up time, and maximize operations and maintenance efficiencies. A key technology contributing to the decision was Emerson's Fisher® Design GX control valve.
Work on the expansion project started in October 2004 and included a DeltaV(TM) digital automation system, AMS(TM) Suite: Intelligent Device Manager software, HART® based communications, a total of 59 Fisher® Design GX control valves with Fisher FIELDVUE® DVC 6000 digital valve controllers, 52 Rosemount® 2088 pressure transmitters and services including engineering and installation.
Designed in accordance with European standards, the GX is a globe-style valve system that can control a wide range of process liquids, gases and vapors. It can be combined with the new integrally mounted Fisher FIELDVUE DVC2000 digital valve controller to provide operations and maintenance savings.
The multi-lingual product configurator supplied free with the Fisher GX valve enabled complete specification of the valve system, simplifying valve sizing, and automating actuator selection. Other integrated options available, include a position transmitter and limit switches.
In the fast changing pharmaceutical and biotech industries, Emerson Process Management's Life Sciences specialists provide a single source of process knowledge, skills, and technology, offering validated and compliant manufacturing solutions, multidiscipline harmonization, process optimization and ongoing performance assurance.
