ABB supplies controls for bioethanol plants in Thailand

ABB為泰國生物乙醇廠提供控製係統

Zurich, Switzerland, July 3, 2007 - ABB has supplied System 800xA extended automation, as well as related automation equipment and services, to two major bioethanol plants in Thailand, supporting the country’s efforts to reduce its reliance on oil imports and to mitigate environmental impact by reducing its use of fossil fuels.

瑞士蘇黎世7月3日消息——ABB為泰國兩家主要的生物乙醇廠提供了System 800xA拓tuo展zhan自zi動dong化hua係xi統tong以yi及ji相xiang關guan的de自zi動dong化hua設she備bei和he服fu務wu，支zhi持chi該gai國guo通tong過guo減jian少shao對dui礦kuang物wu燃ran料liao的de使shi用yong，減jian少shao對dui石shi油you進jin口kou的de依yi賴lai，降jiang低di對dui環huan境jing的de不bu良liang影ying響xiang的de努nu力li。

These plants are a crucial part of projects initiated in 1985 by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. They will produce up to 350,000 Liters of 99.5-percent pure bioethanol from sugarcane (molasses) per day for use in the production of gasohol, an alternative fuel consisting of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent premium petrol.

這些工廠是泰國國王Bhumibol Adulyadej在1985年發起的計劃的重要組成部分。它們將在生產乙醇-汽油混合燃料（一種有10%乙醇和90%特級汽油組成的替代燃料）的過程中，每天從糖蔗（糖蜜）提煉生產35萬公升99.5%純度的生物乙醇。

ABB provided the Thai Agro Energy Company and the Petro Green’s biofuel plant with motor control centers, automation systems, field supervision and commissioning services for controlling the bioethanol production process in addition to a range of other services, including the conceptual design, detail engineering and application software programming.

ABB為泰國Agro能源公司和Petro Green公司的生物燃料廠提供了電機控製中心

、自動化係統、用於控製生物乙醇生產流程的現場監測和調試服務，此外還有其他一係列的服務，包括方案設計、具體工程和應用軟件設計。

The Thai Agro Energy Company, based at Dan Chang (Suphan Buri Province), is one of eight major ethanol producers in Thailand with a production capacity of up to 150,000 Liters per day and was commissioned in the first quarter of 2005. Following its success, the Petro Green’s bio-fuel plant in Thailand was successfully commissioned in November 2006 and has a production capacity of up to 200,000 Liters of ethanol per day.

位於泰國素攀省丹昌市的泰國Agro能源公司是泰國八個主要乙醇生產商之一，每天產量達15萬公升，在2005年第一季度調試使用。隨著其成功
，Petro Green公司在泰國的生物燃料廠也在2006年11月調試成功，每天產量達20萬公升。

The automation system at the bioethanol plants is based on System 800xA, ABB’s flagship control system. It provides access to detailed process data and precise control functions across the plant, providing operators with customized data including alarm lists, process graphics, control faceplates and trend displays. The operators access this information via two Process Portal operator consoles and use it to identify root causes of alarms and to analyze the status of plant processes.

這些生物乙醇廠的自動化係統是基於ABB的旗艦控製係統System 800xA。它可以在整個工廠裏訪問具體的過程數據和精確的控製功能
，向操作員提供定製的數據，包括警報列表、過程圖表
、控製麵板和趨勢顯示。操作員通過兩個“流程入口”操作控製台訪問這些信息
，利用它確定引起警報的根源，分析工廠流程的狀況。

The comprehensive operational environment reduces operator response times and maintenance costs. Minor problems in the performance of field instruments, motors or even the control system itself can be detected before they become critical, allowing for more efficient maintenance schedules and avoiding expensive unscheduled shut-downs.

綜合操作環境減少了操作員響應時間和維護成本。現場儀器、電機甚至控製係統本身出現的小問題都可以在變成危急問題之前監測到
，使得維護時間表更有效率
，避免昂貴的計劃外停機。

ABB’s state-of-the-art system interface allows operators to navigate through real-time data from the entire plant in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of processing plants.

ABB的頂級係統界麵使操作員可以在整個工廠間操縱實時數據以便提高加工廠的效率和可靠性。

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 109,000 people.
