ABB为泰国生物乙醇厂提供控制系统

Zurich, Switzerland, July 3, 2007 - ABB has supplied System 800xA extended automation, as well as related automation equipment and services, to two major bioethanol plants in Thailand, supporting the country’s efforts to reduce its reliance on oil imports and to mitigate environmental impact by reducing its use of fossil fuels.

瑞士苏黎世7月3日消息——ABB为泰国两家主要的生物乙醇厂提供了System 800xA拓展自动化系统以及相关的自动化设备和服务，支持该国通过减少对矿物燃料的使用，减少对石油进口的依赖，降低对环境的不良影响的努力。

These plants are a crucial part of projects initiated in 1985 by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. They will produce up to 350,000 Liters of 99.5-percent pure bioethanol from sugarcane (molasses) per day for use in the production of gasohol, an alternative fuel consisting of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent premium petrol.

这些工厂是泰国国王Bhumibol Adulyadej在1985年发起的计划的重要组成部分。它们将在生产乙醇-汽油混合燃料（一种有10%乙醇和90%特级汽油组成的替代燃料）的过程中，每天从糖蔗（糖蜜）提炼生产35万公升99.5%纯度的生物乙醇。

ABB provided the Thai Agro Energy Company and the Petro Green’s biofuel plant with motor control centers, automation systems, field supervision and commissioning services for controlling the bioethanol production process in addition to a range of other services, including the conceptual design, detail engineering and application software programming.

ABB为泰国Agro能源公司和Petro Green公司的生物燃料厂提供了电机控制中心、自动化系统、用于控制生物乙醇生产流程的现场监测和调试服务，此外还有其他一系列的服务，包括方案设计、具体工程和应用软件设计。

The Thai Agro Energy Company, based at Dan Chang (Suphan Buri Province), is one of eight major ethanol producers in Thailand with a production capacity of up to 150,000 Liters per day and was commissioned in the first quarter of 2005. Following its success, the Petro Green’s bio-fuel plant in Thailand was successfully commissioned in November 2006 and has a production capacity of up to 200,000 Liters of ethanol per day.

位于泰国素攀省丹昌市的泰国Agro能源公司是泰国八个主要乙醇生产商之一，每天产量达15万公升，在2005年第一季度调试使用。随着其成功，Petro Green公司在泰国的生物燃料厂也在2006年11月调试成功，每天产量达20万公升。

The automation system at the bioethanol plants is based on System 800xA, ABB’s flagship control system. It provides access to detailed process data and precise control functions across the plant, providing operators with customized data including alarm lists, process graphics, control faceplates and trend displays. The operators access this information via two Process Portal operator consoles and use it to identify root causes of alarms and to analyze the status of plant processes.

这些生物乙醇厂的自动化系统是基于ABB的旗舰控制系统System 800xA。它可以在整个工厂里访问具体的过程数据和精确的控制功能，向操作员提供定制的数据，包括警报列表、过程图表、控制面板和趋势显示。操作员通过两个“流程入口”操作控制台访问这些信息，利用它确定引起警报的根源，分析工厂流程的状况。

The comprehensive operational environment reduces operator response times and maintenance costs. Minor problems in the performance of field instruments, motors or even the control system itself can be detected before they become critical, allowing for more efficient maintenance schedules and avoiding expensive unscheduled shut-downs.

综合操作环境减少了操作员响应时间和维护成本。现场仪器、电机甚至控制系统本身出现的小问题都可以在变成危急问题之前监测到，使得维护时间表更有效率，避免昂贵的计划外停机。

ABB’s state-of-the-art system interface allows operators to navigate through real-time data from the entire plant in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of processing plants.

ABB的顶级系统界面使操作员可以在整个工厂间操纵实时数据以便提高加工厂的效率和可靠性。

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 109,000 people. 

ABB是电力和自动化技术领域的全球领导厂商，致力于为工业和电力行业客户提供解决方案，以帮助客户提高生产效率，同时降低对环境的不良影响。ABB集团的业务遍布全球100多个国家，拥有大约109,000名雇员。
