The distributed
control system (DCS) contract was signed on Saturday in the Arak Unit of PRTC
between the company and Sabtech in the presence of the CEO of National Petrochemical
Company (NPC), Behzad Mohammadi.
Based on
the deal, DCS of refineries and petrochemical plants will be upgraded jointly by
Sabtech and PRTC and will be gradually localized in Iran.
Speaking on
the sidelines of a ceremony to sign the deal, the NPC CEO said PRTC had signed
a contract with a domestic company for developing DCS systems.
DCS is
regarded as the heart of a petrochemical plant which controls production and
safety conditions.
A distributed control system (DCS) is a computerised control system for a process or plant usually with a large number of control loops, in which autonomous controllers are distributed throughout the system, but there is central operator supervisory control.
