Utilização das ferramentas de automação para otimização e controle de processos utilizando como estudo de caso uma seção de filtração com filtro de lâminas

Abstract

Automation has proved itself to be increasingly necessary to expand the production efficiency of an industrial area. It has many advantages in all extent of the industrial environment because it intends to raise the production, reduce costs, improve safety, working conditions and process control, among others. This study aims to evaluate the gains from the use of automation tools for optimization and process control utilizing as study a filtering section with a leaf filter. For this purpose, the automation tools were configured and the system was tested after their implementation. The results obtained were very satisfactory and is expected by the end of the project more gains in relation to the improvement of the section productivity, better security conditions for the operation, process analysis through graphs of data collected and stored in the system, etc.
