Refurbishment of Palinpinon-I Control Systems

Abstract

With the advent of distributed control system and computer-based monitoring system in industrial plants such as geothermal plant operations, a reliable and high availability hybrid control system has been used in the Palinpinon-I Fluid Collection and Reinjection System (FCRS). With the new control system, the monitoring and control of various FCRS process and equipment parameters has become more efficient.

Compared with the conventional single and dual loop controllers, the new hybrid control systems used in Palinpinon-I FCRS provides powerful dual processors in implementing all logic and control functions of the FCRS. With the newly implemented hybrid control systems, Palinpinon-I FCRS control system availability is almost 100%.
