SCADA & Deluge System Installation at LPG Bank – Metso Outotec, Alwar (Rajasthan)
Background
Metso Outotec India Pvt. Ltd., a leading player in sustainable technology and engineering solutions, operates an LPG bank at its Alwar manufacturing facility to support various industrial processes. Given the critical nature of LPG storage and handling, safety and automation were top priorities. The client sought a reliable partner to integrate advanced fire safety systems and real-time monitoring to meet both operational needs and stringent safety regulations.
Agnim Engineerz, known for its expertise in fire protection systems and industrial automation, was engaged to execute the project from supply to commissioning
Challenges Identified
- Hazardous Area Safety Compliance:LPG is highly flammable, requiring systems to meet NFPA/Indian standards for hazardous zones.
- Integration of SCADA with Fire Protection:Ensuring seamless communication between safety devices and the control interface.
- On-site Space & Layout Constraints:Installation within an operational LPG bank without disrupting ongoing plant activities.
- Time-Sensitive Delivery:Completion was required within a limited downtime window to avoid production losses.
