Customer Requirements:
Anglogold Ashanti owns and operates the Sunrise Dam Gold Mine in Laverton, Western Australia. Anglogold enlisted the services of KAPP Engineering to provide design, programming and commissioning for the integration of a new re-activation kiln to the plants existing control system. The existing system consists of a network of 4 x Allen Bradley 5 Series PLC’s with a fully redundant CITECT server network with 7 x display clients. The CITECT network was also required to retrieve vital operational information from the Re-activation Kiln PLC for display purposes (Allen Bradley Compact Logix).
 
Solution:
KAPP Engineers designed and implemented logic for a Carbon Discharge Sequence which involved the discharge of high temperature carbon from the re-activation kiln for further processing. The sequence involved a timed operation for a transfer pump and a number of valves which were configured via a CITECT display client.

Feed into the re-activation kiln was via feed bins that were monitored and displayed on the CITECT display client with necessary alarms to alert the operator on bin low and high levels.

As per the clients requirements the CITECT system was configured to poll the Kiln PLC and display appropriate information on the operational status of the kiln. Remote operation of the Kiln was also incorporated for use via CITECT.

KAPP Engineers made appropriate PLC modifications on site via Allen Bradley’s RSLogix 5 software suite. The plant was in constant operation throughout the upgrade with 0% downtime.
