Corrosion Control in Fertilizer Plant Control Room
Fertiliser plants are controlled by sensors and actuators linked via complex distributed control systems (DCS) to the control/server rooms. These complex systems are complicated webs of electronic cards and electrical components which drive fertiliser plants to run 24 x 7. This ensures enhanced quality, speed of production and cost-efficiency. Corrosion control in fertilizer plant control room is crucial to maintaining the smooth functioning of these systems.
Corrosion Affecting Smooth Fertiliser Production
Corrosion in electronic cards and electrical components, due to the presence of corrosive gases, can severely disrupt the smooth operation of a fertilizer plant. This issue is particularly relevant in the corrosion control in fertilizer plant control room, where compounds and by-products of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in electrical/electronic circuits can lead to significant operational challenges.
Main Culprits for Electronic Corrosion in Fertiliser Component
Gaseous compounds are an inevitable constituent of the fertiliser production process. They are the primary reason for corrosion in electronic cards and electrical components in control and server rooms. Effective corrosion control in fertilizer plant control room requires the monitoring and regulation of these corrosive gases and by-products to prevent their entry into critical areas. The corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulphide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, chlorine, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia and ozone are harmful not only to the machine but also to the employees. When inhaled for a prolonged duration, employees feel ill-health, vomiting, and nausea resulting in decreased efficiency and an increase in absenteeism.
Operations managers in fertiliser industries are therefore focusing on supplying clean air, free of airborne contaminants to their control rooms.
Gas Phase Filtration System – The Most Effective Way of Corrosion Control in Fertilizer Plant Control Room
Bry-Air Gas Phase Filtration Systems protect electronic equipment and devices from the threat of abrupt failures due to corrosive gases. It reduces downtime by removing corrosive gases through the process of adsorption and chemisorption. It is designed to maintain the ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 standard, IEC standards and various other environmental standards followed by electronics manufacturers, ensuring comprehensive corrosion control in fertilizer plant control room.
These GPF systems also neutralise odourous gases and make the environment comfortable for humans, further contributing to effective corrosion control in fertilizer plant control room.
Bry-Air: A Step Ahead, Always
Bry-Air is the only Gas Phase Filtration Company in India having its own R&D and Testing Lab for granular media and chemical filters. Backed by world-class technology and systems, the laboratory is capable of testing the performance of impregnated/non-impregnated loose granular media and impregnated/non-impregnated air cleaning devices such as chemical filters, under one roof. The tests are conducted as per ISO/ASHRAE Standard 145.1 and BSR/ASHRAE Standard 145.2/ISO Standard 11155-2 guidelines. The core objectives of the tests are to assess the performance and efficiency of loose granular sorptive media and chemical filters in any particular application.
