Electronic Corrosion Prevention in Fertiliser Plant
Fertiliser plants are controlled by sensors and actuators linked via complex distributed control systems (DCS) to the control/server rooms. These complex systems are complicated webs of electronic cards and electrical components which drive fertiliser plants to run 24 x 7. This ensures enhanced quality, speed of production and cost-efficiency.
Corrosion Affecting Smooth Fertiliser Production
Corrosion in the electronic cards and electrical components due to corrosive gases causes hindrance in the smooth functioning. Corrosion is mainly caused by the compounds/by-products of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in electrical/electronic circuits which has the potential to disrupt the smooth functioning of a whole plant.
Main Culprits for Electronic Corrosion in Fertiliser Component
Gaseous compounds are an inevitable constituent of the fertiliser production process. They are the primary reason for corrosion in electronic cards and electrical components in control and server rooms. It is vital to monitor and control the concentration level of these corrosive gases/by-products entering the control rooms. The corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulphide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, chlorine, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia and ozone are harmful not only to the machine but also to the employees. When inhaled for a prolonged duration, employees feel ill-health, vomiting, and nausea resulting in decreased efficiency and an increase in absenteeism.
Operations managers in fertiliser industries are therefore focusing on supplying clean air, free of airborne contaminants to their control rooms.
Gas Phase Filtration System – The Most Effective Way of Removing Airborne Molecular Contamination
Bry-Air Gas Phase Filtration Systems protect electronic equipment and devices from the threat of abrupt failures due to corrosive gases. It reduces downtime by removing corrosive gases through the process of adsorption and chemisorption. It is designed to maintain the ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 standard, IEC standards and various other environmental standards followed by electronics manufacturers.
These GPF systems also neutralise odourous gases and make the environment comfortable for humans.
Bry-Air: A Step Ahead, Always
Bry-Air is the only Gas Phase Filtration Company in India having its own R&D and Testing Lab for granular media and chemical filters. Backed by world-class technology and systems, the laboratory is capable of testing the performance of impregnated/non-impregnated loose granular media and impregnated/non-impregnated air cleaning devices such as chemical filters, under one roof. The tests are conducted as per ISO/ASHRAE Standard 145.1 and BSR/ASHRAE Standard 145.2/ISO Standard 11155-2 guidelines. The core objectives of the tests are to assess the performance and efficiency of loose granular sorptive media and chemical filters in any particular application.
