Energy savings arising from use of a distributed computer-control system. A demonstration at Tait Paper, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire

Abstract

In 1986, Tait Paper commissioned and started up a new high capacity paper machine, PM4, which was installed in a purpose-built machine house. The decision was taken to control the new machine and the stock preparation plant from a distributed computer-control system (DCS). The DCS has overall control of the integrated process, and includes a comprehensive on-line information system. This system includes associated data storage and archiving facilities, together with provision for development of user-defined (and written) software programmes for calculated and derived values of energy and materials` usage and cost. The cumulative financial benefit of the energy saving over the four complete years of paper machine operation was Pound 704,500. (author)
