Emerson Process Management completed a DeltaV SIS burner management system (BMS) migration project in Sasol’s integrated chemical plant in Sasolburg, South Africa.
Sasol selected Emerson and its local business partner, Aveng Automation and Control Solutions (A&CS), to migrate the old system to Emerson’s DeltaV SIS for burner management during the plant’s annual scheduled shutdown this year. It fulfilled Sasol’s objective to fully comply with the South African National Standards (SANS) accreditation 329, which sets the safety standards for industrial thermoprocessing equipment.
Emerson’s Burner Management application allows the furnace to go safely through all relevant states, from startup to operation and shutdown when needed. It comes with IEC 61508 TÜV certified function blocks that simplify logic configuration, testing and troubleshooting. An intuitive, graphical control environment helps operators understand furnace conditions in real-time, place burners and igniters in and out of service safely and initiate other actions to maintain safe operating conditions.
