Digital devices help improve bitter blending

摘要

Digital plant architecture incorporating a DeltaV digital automation system with HART communications and intelligent devices from Emerson Process Management have enabled Pernod Ricard Nordic, a market leader within the Northern European spirits market, to increase the accuracy and speed of recipe changes. This has led to improved production efficiency and product consistency, as well as reduced waste at a new bitters blending facility in Aalborg, Denmark that was previously located at Dalby. As part of a project to consolidate production at its Aalborg site, Pernod Ricard Nordic installed a new blending facility to replace one located elsewhere in Denmark. As the main automation contractor (MAC), Emerson was responsible for the front-end engineering and design (FEED), and the implementation of the new automation system. PlantWeb digital plant architecture, incorporating the DeltaV digital automation system with HART communications and intelligent devices, was installed.
