04.11 AUTOMATION SYSTEM (LEVEL-1)
04.11.01 GENERAL
01. This specification is intended to define the basic requirements for
Automation (Level-1) system of the Coal Handling Plant (CHP) and
Coke Sorting Plant (CSP) and Augmentation in Flux - Fuel Preparation
and Plant Return Fines Handling for SP III (FFP) coming under the 7.0
MTPA Expansion of BHILAI Steel Plant (BSP) with a view to achieve
smooth, efficient, safe, integrated and reliable operation of the process.
02. Monitoring, Control, Interlocking and Sequential functions for the entire
Coal Handling Plant and Coke Sorting Plant and Augmentation in Flux -
Fuel Preparation and Plant Return Fines Handling for SP III will be
achieved through PLC based Level-1 automation system.
03. Coal Handling Plant
A common dispatcher cum control room (D-2) under package no. -
062, is being arranged by the employer for operating the entire coal
blending, crushing and transportation from existing & new silos to
existing batteries (10 nos.) and new battery (1 no.) with a provision to
install the automation equipment of proposed CHP package-064 as
shown in the attached Automation Configuration Drg. No. -
MEC/S/9101/11/E9/55/01/064.01/R1). Contactor will provide PLC-4
with all hardware and software and integrate the offered system with
that of Pkg 062(New Coal Handling Plant).
To understand the interfacing points, enclosed Material flow diagram
(Drg No-MEC/S/9101/11/17/55/01/064.12, Sheet 1&2) and a
schematic drg (Drg. No.-MEC/S/9101/11/E9/0/00/00/064.03) may be
referred.
The Contactor will furnish assignment drawing and space requirement
to the employer to keep the provision in the Despatcher-D2.
04. Coke Sorting Plant-
Control, Monitoring, Interlocking and Sequential functions of new
drives and equipment proposed for Coke sorting plant covered under
this specification as per technological layout and material flow
diagram with new automation. Proposed CSP will receive material
from CDCP (for COB#11), Existing Coke Sorting Plants CSP-1
through Conveyor KA1 and KA2 which in turn after crushing &
screening material will transport to Stock House of BF#8 and SP-III
through C-line conveyor (Pkg064) in line with technological material
flow diagram.
For operation of Coke sorting plant, a separate new Dispatcher will be
provided by the Contactor with dedicated PLC based automation
