Deepak Phenolics banks on Honeywell technology to train operators
Industry News- Jul 11,18
Operator training simulation based on Honeywell UOP’s cumene process technology enables safer and more efficient production
New Delhi, July 11, 2018
Deepak Phenolics Limited (DPL) is leveraging on Honeywell Connected Plant technology to drive more reliable and efficient operations at its phenol and cumene plant in Dahej (Gujarat). DPL is using Honeywell Connected Plant UniSim Operations to train process operators on safe, efficient and incident-free startups and operations.
Honeywell deployed the operator training simulator (OTS) technology two months ahead of schedule, taking only five months from the kick-off meeting to site acceptance test. This was the first time the OTS system was developed on Honeywell UOP’s Q-Max cumene technology, which is based on highly selective, stable and regenerable catalysts. This latest generation of cumene technology provides higher yields, improved product quality and lower utility consumption.
“The collaborative efforts from both companies will result in fewer process upsets and improved environmental performance, while positively contributing to employee health and safety at Deepak Phenolics’ plants. DPL is currently able to effectively train operating personnel on various production and emergency scenarios faster and more efficiently than through other alternatives,” said Rahul Khare, Regional Business Leader, Honeywell Connected Plant.
Customised process scenarios helped field and console operators to understand and practice normal operations and emergency conditions prior to the commissioning of DPL’s cumene plant. The Honeywell Connected Plant solution accelerates knowledge transfer by consolidating an entire lifetime of experience into a concise operator training curriculum.
“Our company has realised significant benefits by optimizing less expensive feed for startup, identifying gaps in controller actions and preparing a smooth start-up procedure with high reliability and minimum hydrocarbon loss. The OTS model delivered to the Dahej facility was customised to our needs and is a best-in-class solution for training operating personnel,” said Jay Shah, Technology Lead, Deepak Phenolics Ltd.
Honeywell Connected Plant is a suite of applications that delivers higher levels of safety, reliability, efficiency and profitability. These proven industry solutions are based on decades of domain knowledge and controls experience. They turn data into actionable insight so industrial manufacturers can optimise operations, predict plant failures and eliminate unplanned downtime. This new level of consistent high performance makes every day the best day of production.
