Key directions of automation of petrochemical production

Abstract

Abstract The article reveals the role of automation of the main systems of petrochemical production: technological processes, security systems, information management, and electrical equipment. The purpose of the article is to determine the main directions of automation in the petrochemical complex. Based on the study, it is shown how industrial automation affects gross national product growth by optimizing production and logistics operations, labor efficiency, increasing equipment productivity, improving research and development and product development. For example, if the cost of reconstruction is 2-6% of the total cost of a petrochemical enterprise, the resulting effect of automation is estimated at 15-30% of the increase in operational efficiency. It is concluded that integrated control automation systems regularly design, upgrade, and provide comprehensive support for the availability of complex technical systems throughout its life cycle.
