Levaco

Leverkusen, Germany

Digital transformation for a deep view into the reactor

Levaco produces chemical intermediates - components such as defoamers and surfactants that make products water-soluble - in its reactors
In the course of a major rebuild of a reactor, SIMATIC PCS neo was implemented as superordinate control system to regain transparency and provide deeper insight into the whole plant, access all information from several locations and also enable remote access.
Processes can now be changed and optimized much safer and faster, and the possibilities for quick fine-tuning have a positive impact on quality.
