Peak Industrial Electrical undertook the electrical and instrumentation scope for the entire processing plant. The project scope included a plant-wide DCS system which controlled all electrical equipment and instrumentation via a Profibus network, connecting the various elements of the plant control system. This project was particularly sensitive as the hybrid biological waste process plant converts organic waste into energy and therefore combines a modern materials handling facility with a hazardous area-classified gas collection system and flare. The installation was subject to a three-stage HAZOP study resulting in a separate safety PLC system to operate in conjunction with the plant process control. The cables and equipment installed in hazardous areas were subject to independent certification to ensure compliance with the latest requirements for intrinsically safe, EXD and EXE rated installations.
