| Customer Requirements: |
| After successful completion of the previous
Re-activation Kiln upgrade, KAPP Engineering was approached
once more by Anglogold Ashanti to integrate a new standalone
fire fighting system into their existing on site fire fighting
facilities. The upgrade included the addition of alarm conditions
from the standalone system into the PCS and the monitoring and
management of two water tanks used to supply water to a sprinkler
system in the event of a fire. KAPP Engineers were required to
design, program and coordinate the on-site installation and
commissioning with Petro Min Engineers. |
| |
| Solution: |
KAPP Engineering designed and commissioned logic
to control and monitor two water tanks used to feed the fire
facility sprinkler system. This involved controlling when to
increase the volume of water stored in the tanks so as to ensure
that water is always available to the sprinkler system both during
and outside of operation.
A custom page was added to the Citect SCADA system to allow
operators to monitor every aspect of the fire fighting system with
ease. This includes displaying the status of the following;
• Sprinkler system health
• Water tank levels
• Water pump health
• Alarm conditions
All Allen Bradley PLC 5 and Citect SCADA modifications were
made on site with 0% downtime. KAPP Engineering also provided
documented code on all modifications made in accordance with
quality control procedures.
