Together with our planning partner, EPC, a modern, modular facility concept was designed and implemented, working with such renowned firms as List, Biazzi and Krauss Maffei, all leaders in their fields.
About 330 main arrays with approx. 840 field instruments enable all of the
usual polymer synthesis processes to be carried out in the synthesis section,
with the exception of ultra-high pressure polymerisation. Pressures of up
to 100 bars, temperatures over a range from -25 to 350°C and working volumes
of up to 650 litres can be achieved.
In view of the technical and research character, great emphasis is placed on
the automation and monitoring of processes. For this reason, a state-of-the-art
process control system with fieldbus technology and comprehensive archiving
possibilities is used.
In the processing section, not only is the compounding and processing step
evaluated and optimised, but the necessary periphery, e.g. workpiece output,
is highly automated too.
