Chemical, fertilizer

ATG Plant Automation offers specialized services for the chemical and fertilizer sectors, focusing on optimizing complex, and often hazardous, production processes. By providing integrated control and safety systems, ATG helps manufacturers increase productivity, ensure environmental compliance, and enhance the safety of their facilities.

Integrated process control

ATG’s core expertise lies in implementing and integrating control systems that manage the entire production process in chemical and fertilizer plants.

Distributed Control Systems (DCS): For large-scale and complex operations, such as urea synthesis or ammonia production, ATG uses powerful DCS solutions. This provides plant-wide monitoring and control, enabling operators to manage and optimize processes from a central control room.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC): PLCs are used for high-speed, localized control of specific plant equipment, including mixers, reactors, and packaging machines.
SCADA and HMI: ATG designs Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) for real-time data visualization and remote management.

Safety and environmental compliance

Given the highly regulated and potentially hazardous nature of the chemical industry, safety is a primary focus for ATG’s automation services.

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): ATG deploys Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) to automatically detect and respond to hazardous conditions, protecting personnel and assets.
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: Emergency shutdown systems are integrated into the overall control architecture to ensure rapid and coordinated responses to potential incidents.
Environmental monitoring: Automated systems monitor and report emissions, helping clients comply with strict environmental regulations.

Optimization and efficiency

Beyond basic control, ATG leverages advanced technology to improve operational performance and profitability.

Batch automation: The company offers advanced software for managing and optimizing batch operations, which is crucial for specialty chemicals and other products requiring precise formulation.
Real-time optimization: Using advanced algorithms, ATG can implement solutions that dynamically adjust process setpoints in real time to maximize yield, minimize waste, and conserve energy.
Asset management: By integrating IIoT and data analytics, ATG helps clients monitor equipment health and implement predictive maintenance strategies to reduce unplanned downtime and lower support costs.

Full project lifecycle support

ATG supports its chemical and fertilizer clients from initial concept through ongoing operations.

Engineering and design: Providing expert engineering services to design and integrate robust and reliable automation solutions.
Commissioning and maintenance: Managing the commissioning of new facilities or automation upgrades and offering ongoing maintenance services to sustain peak performance.
Training: Comprehensive training programs are provided to equip plant operators and technicians with the necessary skills to operate and maintain the advanced automated systems effectively.
