Focus on: Boilers, Burners & accommodate up 960 points for monitoring. After it’s plugged into the system, it automatically registers the presence of modules and processes their data into the Omniflex Data Interchange table for the Conet Network to access. “We’d already proven the reliability of our Maxiflex systems in other departments at Sasol, so they knew they were getting trusted technology,” explained Ian Loudon, head of international sales and marketing at Omniflex. “The scale of the project – with over 130 panels and thousands of data points – was ideal for our architecture. With CONET and Maxiflex, distance and volume were not a problem.” Results With a new system in operation, Sasol’s plants no longer required manual inspections. Previously, 48 field controllers had to check everything every morning, whereas one person can observe remotely from a control room. Instead of the five hours it took previously, Sasol personnel can identify problems within five minutes, spotting errors earlier and freeing up staff to perform other tasks. In addition, the data acquisition builds up a bank of historical information where trends can be identified to spot if panels are underperforming, allowing Sasol to take preventative action, leading to less downtime and a more efficient process. Maintenance technicians can see panels’ status and every trip and signal from the control room. This monitoring has led to implementation of a standardised system across its East and West plants, providing full visibility across every substation with an upgraded alarm and trip detection system for electrostatic precipitators. Final installations will be completed in 2025 to futureproof the site. “I’d rate the project a nine out of ten. It’s doing exactly what we wanted. My bosses are happy which means I’m happy too,” added Oosthuizen. “What impressed me most was how helpful and responsive Omniflex were – even though they weren’t on site, we always got the support we needed,” Oosthuizen concluded.
