Implementation of the first investments took place in 1994 when it implemented low-emission burners' control system on boiler OP 230 No. 7 and launched control and instrumentation equipment of electrohydraulic turbine controller 13 UP 55 on unit no.2.
In 1997 work was undertaken on the boiler No. 5, related to environmental protection - were control and instrumentation equipment was made on low-emission burners. The company APS S.A. participated in execution of automation associated with the construction of precipitator and completed the automation system for DEPAC ash transport, modernized a 110 kV switching station and the exchange of analog safeguards into digital ones (REF, REL-ABB).
Next years brought collaboration in scope of execution of low-emission burners on boiler No. 8, 6, and ignition burners on all steam boilers.
The important and interesting works in 2001 include design, prefabrication, assembly, software, and start-up in scope of control and instrumentation equipment and control system in the power unit BC 50 No. 2 in EC Białystok S.A..
Automation of the object was based on Honeywell products . Three drivers and a visualization system were used - PlantScape.
The applied main system co-operates with other suppliers' systems connected via MOD-BUS network:
- turbine driver - Unimat prod. by IASE
- ignition burner driver - 5 controllers series S7-200 Siemens
- special measurement system for the turbine set TNC2000 by Technicad
- reduction-cooling station controller S5-135 by Siemens
- synoptic panel controller by ZPAS
In July 2003 we implemented the control and supervision system over the work of newly constructed turbine set TZ4 - 24 MW by ALSTOM.
APS S.A. performed the installation of control and instrumentation equipment, control circuits and safeguards of auxiliary drives and circuit safeguards of turbine set generator No. 4, together with auxiliary equipment, and fan cooling station in scope of supply of equipment and materials, installation, commissioning and start-up.
In 2003 the company APS participated in preparation of technical documentation, supply of hardware and software and implementation and commissioning of the modernized system MicroSCADA CSC-100 for the purposes of control and supervision of operation of the electrical unit in EC Białystok S.A..
Automatyka-Pomiary-Sterownie S.A. has provided comprehensive operation of automation systems in Elektrociepłownia Białystok S.A. since 1994.
In year 2006 the heat and power plant Elektrociepłownia Białystok S.A. began implementation of a comprehensive program of modernization and automation of existing facilities, aimed at upgrading the technical solutions, increasing the availability of equipment and systems, increasing the efficiency of energy conversion processes, as well as simplifying maintenance and rationalization of employment. Within the frameworks of the program has been implemented the new DCS-class (Distributed Control System) quality control and supervision system, made by Honeywell, together with modification of individual systems and process equipment. The investment was completed in 2009. The following installations were modernized during the works:
- Unit BC-50 No 1;
- Unit BC-50 No 2;
- Unit BC-50 No 3;
- Water and sewage management;
- Oil management;
- Slag removal;
- Ash removal;
- Carburizing;
- Heat unit.
The company Automatyka-Pomiary-Sterowanie S.A. participating in the process of comprehensive modernization of Elektrociepłownia Białystok S.A., at power units No. 1, 2, 3 and non-unit devices independently or as a subcontractor of other companies, performed the following works, e.g.:
- implementation of DCS-class control and supervision system
- modernization of the electrical system,
- modernization of instrumentation systems,
- modernization of physical and chemical measurements,
- modernization of water and sewage management,
- modernization of the coal, ash and slag handling.
Within the frameworks of the program has been implemented the new DCS-class (Distributed Control System) quality control and supervision system, made by Honeywell, together with comprehensive modification of individual systems and process equipment. The whole project was divided into a number of tasks. As a result of modernization, unit operator systems were integrated within a distributed DCS system, as well as systems outside the unit, such as carburizing, oil management, ash removal, slag removal, compressor room, Central Heat Disposition and water and sewage management.
The process of implementation of DCS system distributed over several years has integrated unit operator systems No. 1, 2, 3, 4, as well as non-unit systems: carburizing, oil management, ash removal, slag removal, compressor room, Central Heat Disposition and water and sewage management. DCS system made by Honeywell Experion PKS was used for automation of the facility. The system architecture allows for distribution of information about the production process across the enterprise and remote process control. The purpose of the DCS system was to increase the efficiency, safety of the manufacturing process and lowering production costs.
