After that, an E&I contractor was selected, along with a number of smaller contractors, to carry out this assignment. This resulted in a connection database with all connections, from which all drawings and relevant information can be generated to create overviews and thus know exactly how the new control systems should be connected. A complete overview was made of all the connections of the control system in SPI (SmartPlant Instrumentation) from INtools. Hexion sought cooperation with KH Engineering for this project.

At the same time Hexion wanted to upgrade the control rooms including the workstations, to give their operators a modern, comfortable and state of the art workplace. That is why Hexion was looking for a party that could manage this replacement.
Ensuring that, both during and after the replacement of the control system, all processes work exactly as planned and as before requires a great deal of effort. Numerous instruments are connected to the control and security system, which ensures the desired control and protection of the process. Naturally, safety comes first and all processes must run as planned. Globally, the company prefers to work with one operating system and the Emerson system was chosen. One of the innovations Hexion recently wanted to implement was the replacement of the control system (DCS) and security system (IPS) of one of their plants.
The factories have been in operation for several decades and are constantly being renewed. The site in Rotterdam-Pernis is one of the world’s largest production sites with 300 permanent employees, five continuous plants and its own on-site Research & Development Lab. Chemical company Hexion produces thermosetting resins that can be found in all kinds of end products, such as cars, wind turbines, electronics, aeroplanes and buildings.
