Operational need
The operating sequence relied on manual intervention and required a more dependable response after interruptions.
Assessment
CES reviewed how the pumps and controls behaved during normal operation, faults and restarts.
CES response
The control strategy was revised around practical operating conditions, including automatic restart and safety behaviour.
- Reviewed the operating sequence
- Developed the control approach
- Implemented and tested the automation changes
Result
The control changes improved the system’s restart behaviour and reduced avoidable manual intervention within the operating requirements addressed by the project.
Operational valueImproved restart behaviour reduced avoidable manual intervention and helped the operation use staff time more effectively.
