      Case Histories
     Objective:  Improve makeup water quality for operation
    within the boiler facility. 
    Solution:  Implement water treatment facility upgrades for
    improved control of filters, softeners, dealkalizers, boiler chemical feed,
    and auxiliary water treatment equipment.  Steam Plant Systems has
    completed projects for several customers involving design engineering,
    project drawing, PLC logic development, HMI interface configuration,
    equipment manuals, and startup. 
    Objective:  Custom engineered burner management
    system for critical operations. 
    Solution:  Design and build a redundant system for avoidance of
    boiler outages due to flame safety system component failures.  All
    critical components were designed with full redundancy for reliable
    operations.  In addition, major components are field replaceable
    without requiring boiler shutdowns. 
    Experience:  Fireye, Siemens QUADLOG 
    Objective:  Provide integrated boiler control &
    flame safety for critical operations. 
    
    
    Solution:  Using available control technology and in-depth knowledge of
    NFPA codes, design a system which meets the unique requirements of both
    boiler control and flame safety without sacrificing ease of use or common
    software platforms.  Steam Plant Systems has accomplished this goal on
    several projects for customers in the power generation, pulp & paper,
    semiconductor, institutional steam distribution, and chemical industries. 
    Experience:  Siemens APACS+ and QUADLOG 
    Objective:  Fast track installation of leased
    boilers for new powerhouse. 
    Solution:  Steam Plant Systems mobilized an engineering team for
    design and drawings required to install the boilers and key auxiliary
    equipment.  Completed package included drawings for boiler
    installation, 400 psig steam systems, feedwater systems, condensate return,
    makeup water, HP drains, 480 VAC electrical, and instruments/controls. 
    Objective:  Modernize outdated boiler control
    systems. 
    Solution:  In a typical year, Steam Plant Systems will complete several
    of these projects, ranging in size from single loop controls on small
    commercial boilers to large distributed control systems spanning an entire
    industrial site.

    Objective:  Modernize outdated chiller control
    systems for five (5) 5000 ton chillers. 
    Solution:  Install an Ethernet based system with PLC-5 chiller
    controls (Ethernet based), SLC-500 safety controls (DH+), and industrial
    computers running RSView software.  The system has been on-line and
    operating successfully for over six years. 
    Experience:  Allen Bradley PLC-5, SLC-500, RSView Software. 
    Objective:  Retrofit outdated controls in two (2)
    remote hydro-electric stations. 
    Solution:  Install new PLC control system in each of the two (2)
    stations with fiber-optic communications between the two sites. 
    Provide HMI interface using redundant I/O servers, client workstations, and
    remote operation via T1 line and additional client stations located 100
    miles from the main site. 
    Experience:  Allen Bradley SLC-500, Intellution IFix Software
