Press Release: Emerson helps bioethanol plant in Turkey realize start-up and operational gains
Emerson's project engineering and PlantWeb® architecture enable TARKİM plant to start up a month early and produce almost thirty percent above target levels
AUSTIN, TEXAS (May 8, 2008) – Emerson Process Management has announced start-up and operational gains following completion of the second year of operation of its PlantWeb® digital automation architecture at a new bioethanol production plant operated by TARKİM in Mustafakemalpaşa-Bursa, Turkey.
Bioethanol is the world's largest source of renewable energy, and its use has the added advantage that crops used for feedstock help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by absorbing CO2 emissions during crop growth. The new plant processes grain, usually corn and wheat, to produce ethanol to be used as a fuel additive. Rapid startup of the plant was critical and the contribution made by Emerson during the startup phase meant that TARKİM was able to start up one month earlier than scheduled. This provided cost savings of €220,000 and helped book early revenues.
The plant has been operating for over two years and during that time there have been no off-specification product or quality concessions made. During this operational period, the reliability of the plant has been outstanding with only two or three unexpected shutdowns. The PlantWeb architecture has contributed to a 28 percent increase in production at the plant from the planned level.
The control system at the new bioethanol plant is based on Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture. This includes a DeltaV™ digital automation system communicating with 381 field instruments, 108 control valves and 124 on/off valves using HART communications protocol. There are over 1200 input/output points. Emerson also supplied redundant controllers and power supplies.
Emerson field devices include intelligent Rosemount® pressure and temperature transmitters, Fisher® control valves, and Fisher FIELDVUE® digital valve controllers. Micro Motion® intelligent Coriolis flowmeters are used to measure slurry and syrup flow at the plant and Emerson's AMS® Suite: Intelligent Device Manager software was also included on the project.
Operating in a highly competitive global market, accurate process control is very important for TARKİM as this directly effects productivity and consequently control of the unit price. “Emerson's PlantWeb digital architecture has made a big contribution to minimizing production losses,” said Levent Kalin, TARKİM factory manager. “There are literally hundreds of limits for parameters which are set by the DeltaV digital system. These are checked regularly and alerts generated for any that are outside limits. When there is a problem, a fast solution gains us time for production. Consequently, our unit costs are approximately 10 per cent lower than we expected.”
The ethanol production process consists of several operations performed in series. Consequently, downtime at any unit impacts on the output from the others. With unscheduled downtime being a critical factor, AMS Device Manager is used to help identify potential problems before they develop into events that could close the line.
“We were pioneers when we entered this sector,” said Ahmet Tüzün, TARKİM general manager. “Our global aim is to become an expert and pioneer company not only in bioethanol but widely in the biofuel sector; to keep our existing position and to expand the sectors we serve not only in Turkey but also in other geographical territories. Based on the success of this project we would want Emerson to continue as our partners.”

Press Release: Emerson Introduces 4-Wire Intelligent Analyzers with Advanced Digital Communications Capability
Rosemount Analytical® Model 1056 analyzers now available with HART and PROFIBUS DP
IRVINE, Calif., May 5, 2008 — Emerson Process Management announces two new versions of its Rosemount Analytical® Model 1056 analyzer. The new Model 1056-HT and 1056-DP 4-wire, dual-input analyzers include complete HART and PROFIBUS DP digital communications capability for full operations and maintenance advantages in plants using the digital protocols.
The HART-enabled analyzer allows remote calibration, continuous monitoring of four live process variables and configuration from Emerson's AMS® Suite or DeltaV™ host application, legacy DCS, or SCADA system. The full complement of diagnostics allows plants to estimate the life of in-process sensors and perform required maintenance on a timely basis.
The Model 1056 is a multiparameter instrument allowing single or dual inputs in any combination of pH/ORP/ISE, resistivity/conductivity, percent concentration, chlorine, oxygen, ozone, temperature, turbidity, pulse flow and 4-20mA current input. The instrument has a large display and intuitive menu screens with advanced diagnostics and help screens. The device is extremely easy to use. Ease of installation is facilitated by modular boards, removable connectors, and easy-to-wire power, sensors and analog outputs. Seven languages for user menus are included with every analyzer.
"The new Model 1056-HT and 1056-DP complete our digital communications offering," said John Wright, vice president of marketing. "Our customers can now select this easy-to-use multiparameter workhorse instrument for any liquid analytical application and leverage two of the most popular digital communications protocols available on the market. We're responding to demand for digital communications worldwide from end-users and OEMs in our extension of this immensely popular instrument."

PAT Tools for Accelerated Process Development and Improvement
“Just where am I supposed to look for information on mammalian cell culture so I can scale up our laboratory results to production quantities? No one publishes any or their “top secret” results so I’ll have to resort to trial-and-error techniques to find our optimal running conditions. I just know that our CEO will be breathing down my neck wanting results – yesterday. It looks like it will be a rough couple of months ahead.”
That situation is perhaps a fair cause for complaint today. Now; however, help is on the way. A recent article in BioProcess International magazine discusses how Emerson has joined up with Broadley-James and the University of Texas to develop and publish models for the optimization of mammalian cell cultures. Authors Greg McMillan, Trish Benton, Yang Zhang, and Michael Boudreau have published their methodology in, “PAT Tools for Accelerated Process Development and Improvement (873KB PDF).” By running just a few tests to identify model parameters, it will be possible to quickly find optimal operating conditions. These tests are ongoing but promise to produce tools and models for arriving at optimal cell manufacturing conditions in record time. Look for more results from these tests to be published soon.
