Today, atlan-tec Systems has gotten the contract for one of the biggest mining-projects in the world. The company will build the training simulator for a plant of acid sulfur in New Caledonia.
Prompt™ Titan
Time response makes process analysis a difficult endeavor. Prompt™ Titan places causes (e.g. temperatures, pressure etc.) and effects (quality, extraction) into one series each. Only then can the causal effects between variables even be evaluated.
In continuous operation plants, product monitoring is particularly difficult. Plug-flow characteristics and stirrer reactor characteristics change for different consecutive containers with continuously changing fill levels. This makes it difficult to find the right causal allocation of analysis values to process parameters. Idle time between process parameters and analyses changes dynamically (with fill levels and flow rates), and certain time ranges of variables have to be calculated as variable and moving average values due to mixing effects.
The consideration of these factors is very complex and requires a procedure model. In addition to holding time characteristics for the devices (reactors, columns, storage containers etc.), this model must also have information regarding the links between the devices, and know which group of process variables are subject to the same time response, and how it can be calculated. Only the combination of the Prompt™ process information system and the Prompt™ Titan product flow monitoring system offers the possibility of a real data-model-based causal analysis and product monitoring in continuous processes.
Outflow tables for all containers allow the calculation of current container volumes and holding times. This information has to be configured once, and is then always made available in the Prompt™ system.
