Kawartha Ethanol Success
Kawartha Ethanol partners with Siemens to achieve their goal of expanding their production facility and to equip it with the latest technology.
Ensuring minimal downtime and a smooth upgrade
Kawartha Ethanol Inc. is an Ontario-based firm that operates an ethanol production facility that primarily produces ethanol and high-quality alcohols from corn. The production facility is capable of producing 80 million litres of fuel-grade ethanol per year. Kawartha's objective is to expand their production facility and to equip it with the latest technology. This is why Siemens was selected to upgrade the Simatic PCS 7 V8.0 to the latest version and will transform the existing DeltaT Library to Standard APL Library. The expansion of the plant includes Siemens Process Instrumentation (P,L,F,T) and the supply of Motor Control Centers.
“Our process includes hundreds of Siemens instruments, measuring flow, level, pressure, and temperature. All feeding back to a centralized DCS system via a Profibus network. We rely on the accuracy and dependability of this system to ensure we operate efficiently and safely.”
