Control & Instrumentation

This is the main area in which IL operates. The company was set up to meet the Control & Instrumentation requirement of Process industries of India.  The company dedicates itself to this task with full sincerity to ensure rapid economic development of the country based on timely commissioning of various projects and satisfactory operation/ maintenance of already commissioned projects at a high level of efficiency, availability and plant utilization factor as far as the Control & Instrumentation is concerned.

IL’s Process control market can be segmented in to Industrial categories such as Power generation, especially Thermal Power Plants, Mining & Metallurgy including Iron & Steel production, Non-Ferrous metals like Aluminum and Copper / Zinc Smelter & Refineries, Petrochemicals including Oil & Gas Production, Chemicals including Pharmaceuticals & Water treatment plant, Cement, Paper, Fertilizers etc.

IL has been a saga of success through hard work, vibrant ethos and high level of team spirit. A strong turn-key capability has been established through expertise in System design, Engineering, software development, Manufacturing, Testing, Installation, Commissioning and after sales service.  

IL can take pride of having supplied Control & Instrumentation Systems on turn-key basis to over 200 Thermal Power stations in Power sector( almost all Electricity Boards & NTPC plants), almost all Steel sector projects ( Bokaro, Bhilai, Rourkela, Durgapur of SAIL, Nilanchal Ispat, Vizag Steel plants, Jindal steel and other private steel plants etc.), and state of the art Digital Control system and other products to Refineries, Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals and Chemical plants ( IOCL Barauni, Guwahati, Mathura, Haldia, Panipat, NRL, BRPL, MRL, HPCL,BPCL, IPCL Vadodara / Nagothane, ONGC Mumbai, GAIL etc.), IL has also entered in to areas like Oil well Instrumentation, Marine Instrumentation etc. to supplement Companies growth.

Thermal Power Plants: IL is the only Indian company which has the privilege of   supplying & executing C&I jobs on turn-key basis for thermal power units ranging from 30 MW to 500 MW through out the country and overseas. IL has also successfully executed the speedy ‘Restoration’  of  the several units which were damaged due to some unfortunate incidents. Thus IL has proven capability of executing not only  new Power Projects but also in upgrading of the old C&I system with the State-of-the-art technology. For the large projects IL has supplied DDC System of world-renowned manufacturers like ABB, Seimens, HF Controls, Emerson  and Max Controls.

PADO

Instrumentation Limited (IL) has successfully diversified in the field of Latest software based packages for optimization of power plant for which PADO (Performance Analysis, Diagnostics & Optimization software) has been implemented in RRVUNL, 250 MW Unit No. #1 of Chabra Thermal Power project. Similar packages are already implemented in other units of RRVUINL.

PADO the Performance Analysis, Diagnostics & Optimization software is an online decision support system which is time tested and has been very widely deployed to maximize the energy efficiency during power generation. It has several modules each one of which contributes positively and in its own way in improving efficiency.

TRAINING SIMULATOR

Instrumentation Limited (IL) has also achieved mile stone in providing Training to Power Plant Operation plant for safe & efficient operation of Power Plants, for which Operator Training Simulator Systems are successfully installed at RRVUNL Kota & Suratgarh Thermal Power Stations.

As per the study conducted by EPRI, USA benefits of Simulator training in terms of availability, thermal performance, component life and environment compliance savings, average Rs. 2.00 lakhs per MW per year. In the Indian context, for nearly 70,000 MW of Thermal Power, the annual savings would be Rs. 1400 Crores, presuming that the operational efficiencies of thermal Power Plants are as good as that in US.

The major functions are:

  • Train and enhance Operator Skills for New Plants, Retrofit of New Control Systems ,Assignments in New Units

  • Training on same type of Operator interfaces is provided as in the real plant.

  • Any type of emergency condition can be created to train Operators in emergency handling

  • Training schools and training departments in different power utilities
