SCADA expands and optimises biodiesel production process

Source : controlengeurope.com

Fox Petroli, an Italian biodiesel producer, has optimised and expanded the production process at its Vasta plant by investing in Progea Movicon SCADA. The company chose this system because it was quick to develop, offered great flexibility, and had a proven track record of reliability. The investment is part of the company's focus on developing new forms of fuel that provide greater protection to the environment. The latest result of this focus is a new biodiesel, BIOFOX, an ecological fuel obtained from rapeseed oil, which reduces harmful emissions from car engines. The overall automation, control and monitoring system for BIOFOX was developed by the ESEA Group, a specialist in factory automation solutions. It has been designed to monitor and supervise the whole plant, which is divided into nine process sectors corresponding to nine reactors that produce biodiesel, using a reaction process that begins with the main raw material: rapeseed oil.
