Brooksby Incinerator PLC Systems and Scada Modifications

Tender description

Incinerator Software Rewrite, Comprehensive Testing and Hot Commissioning works. The scope of works is detailed below: • Main, Hydraulic and Bin Lifter Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Modification and Testing • SCADA System Software Modification and Test with PLCs • Develop new HMI Screens for Hydraulic System • Confirm operation and communication of all Control systems, PLC's and HMI's • Check automatic operation of all system components: Fans, pumps, instruments, kiln rotation, filer unit, CEMS, loading equipment etc. • Confirm that all sensors and feedback are received at the control PC. • Full Incinerator Operational Testing • Hot Commissioning Works • Operational and Performance Qualification Activities • Staff Training • Update of Functional Design Specification (FDS) documents Rationale To ensure the Brooksby Building meets its full operational requirements and satisfies SAPO4 licensing conditions, which are necessary for benefits realisation, full functionality of the incinerator is essential. A complete rewrite of the control software will enable Pirbright to safely understand, operate, and maintain the incinerator going forward. The incinerator is a critical component of the building, particularly as it operates across the containment barrier. Ensuring the incinerator is fully functional and capable of reliable automatic operation is therefore a key priority. Without this capability, the building cannot be safely or effectively brought into use for SAPO4 activities, nor can licensing requirements be met. ## Contract award
