Drive technology and automation systems Bhushan Power&Steel, India
Nov 4, 2009
Bhushan Power&Steel Co. ordered drives and automation system for expansion of the company's compact hot rolling mill in Orrissa, India. The scope of supply also includes two reactive-power compensators for electric arc furnaces.
In Orrissa, a federal state of India, Bhushan Power&Steel has been operating a compact hot rolling mill with an annual capacity of 0.8 million metric tons since April 2008. The plant is being expanded in order to double its capacity and also to enable rolling of thinner steel strips with a minimum thickness of 1.2 mm.
To this end, the hot rolling mill is to be equipped with a second caster, a sixth finishing stand and a second coiler. Siemens is to supply and install the associated drives and automation system specially developed for hot rolling mills. For the first construction stage, Bhushan had already decided in favor of drives and automation systems from Siemens. Moreover, the reactive-power compensation equipment for the drives and the electric arc furnaces are supplied.
The automation solution for the new parts of the plant is a uniform, integrated system with a high degree of standardization. Integrated diagnostic functions ensure a high level of transparency, simple operator control and the ability of the operating personnel to react quickly in the event of a fault. The open communication protocols will facilitate additions to the plant in future.
Commissioning is scheduled for July 2010.
