This oil sands processing facility consists of multiple centrifuges in a variety of manufacturers and size. This area of the plant over the past several years has executed migration from multiple control systems to one central DeltaV control system. However, not all the equipment has been migrated to DeltaV.
The online migration tool which CIMA+ has developed was used to migrate the control system to DeltaV platform without the need to reduce the plant’s production. This tool is exclusive to CIMA+ and simplifies the engineering requirement to migrate complex systems while allowing the plant to maintain production, and the new control system to work parallel to the existing one.
