WATER TREATMENT PROJECT

Brazos Power Station in south metropolitan Houston is a new power plant. The water treatment process and systems serving this plant were designed by Paterson Candy NA. Emerson Process Management's Overland Park Office lead the effort to provide a comprehensive Control System as well as a majority of the process skid packages.

The Control System utilized a PLC platform and HMI Package by Allen-Bradley. The entire Water Treatment Plant is controlled and operated from a single PLC and Operator Station located on the plant floor.

Emerson's scope included a number of critical items:

• Engineering and Design of (11) Process Skids. This included both mechanical and Electrical Engineering disciplines.
Fabrication of the skids in our FABCON shop, located in St. Louis.

• Development of the Plant's Control System philosophy in conjunction with Paterson Candy NA.
  
• Design, Configuration, and Supply of the PLC-based Control System.
  
• Design and Supply of all the instrumentation associated with the Water Treatment Systems.
  
• Engineering, Design and Supply of all the Variable Speed Drives packaged in Electrical Panels fabricated in our FABCON shop.
  
• Startup and Commissioning Services for all of our scope of supply.

The expanded Scope of Supply proved to be extremely beneficial to the overall projects' success. Being involved in basically all aspects of the Plant's critical systems allows us to keep to schedule and maintain continuity between disciplines.
