Aplicabilidade do Sistema Digital de Controle Distribuído (SDCD) no Processo Eletrolítico com Células de Mercúrio.

Abstract

In industrial processes, it is extremely important to keep under control some of the main process variables. Measuring and control instruments allow you to control these variables with greater accuracy than if they were manually controlled by a human operator. The Digital Distributed Control System (DCS) is an equipment of industrial automation that has as its primary function the control processes in order to allow an optimization of industrial productivity, structured in the reduction of production costs, improved product quality, accuracy of operations, operational security, among others. The objective of this work is to describe the importance of automating a chemical plant / Electrolytic which the process is completely manual. The implementation of DCS in this electrolytic process will improve unit reliability to, avoid constant intervention of the human being in the process, reducing operators numbers to monitor and control process variables thus eliminate the removal of employees from exposure to mercury (Hg) between other chemicals of the process and increasing the control and efficiency of the plant.
