AdvanTech was selected as the supplier of choice
to develop and implement a Chemical Information
System (CIS) to be installed at several of the
New York based Power Generating Stations. The
supplied CIS systems are used to control and monitor
Boiler Water Chemistry. The supplied CIS consist
of a variety of in-line instruments used to sample
boiler water characteristics (pH, conductivity,
resistively, etc.). These instruments generate
a linear electric signal proportional to the measures
parameter, which is transmitted to an associated
input module. The input module digitizes the received
signal. This signal is then converted to appropriate
engineering units by the CIS processor. The processor
is also programmed to control the water chemistry
by opening and closing valves used to inject various
chemicals in to the water. Several networked industrial
computers (PCs) display the instantaneous chemistry
of the water. In addition, the SCADA software
executing on the PCs generates alerts when a parameter
is detected outside the normal limits. All the
monitored parameters a logged on the hard disk
on a periodic bases. Local or remote authorized
personnel may display the instantaneous or historical
data using trends, bars or circular charts.
