Emerson to Modernize Romanian Power Plant with Digital Automation Technology; Emerson's PlantWeb to Help Enhance Availability, Reliability and Performance.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 2004 Emerson Process Management, a business of Emerson (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) The emanation of energy from everything in the universe. Although the EMR from electrical and electronic devices is typically measured for practical, every-day situations, every object, including humans, emanates energy. ), announced today that it has been awarded a contract by Electrocentrale Bucuresti for automation that will give its Bucharest West Power Plant in Romania unprecedented insight into plant operations to help boost plant availability, reliability and performance. Power providers and process manufacturers in Central and Eastern Europe The term "Central and Eastern Europe" came into wide spread use, replacing "Eastern bloc", to describe former Communist countries in Europe, after the collapse of the Iron Curtain in 1989/90. are rapidly adopting proven and industry-leading digital automation technologies. Electrocentrale Bucuresti will use Emerson's PlantWeb(R) digital plant architecture to modernize the Bucharest power plant, installing proven FOUNDATION(TM) fieldbus communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry that networks intelligent field devices with the Ovation(R) expert control system. "Rehabilitating the hot water boilers at Bucharest West is necessary to ensure the plant is able to provide hot water to Bucharest during peak demand times," said Voiculescu Marian, general manager for Bucharest West Power Plant. "We expect the installation of Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture to reduce the operational and maintenance costs and to increase the availability of the plant." Emerson's PlantWeb architecture has delivered superior automation and savings of more than 30 percent in installed costs across a range of process manufacturing The manufacturing industry that uses process control systems. See process control. industries. Major engineering, wiring and commissioning savings are expected with the Bucharest West Power Plant modernization, and follow-on savings will be driven by innovations like the asset management capabilities of PlantWeb, which use predictive intelligence to optimize plant performance and reliability. "With more than 3,800 installations operating around the globe, the PlantWeb approach is proven across a number of process industries," said John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. "As this project demonstrates, our power industry customers also understand the value, and are anxious to capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1. To turn (an opportunity) to one's advantage; to take advantage of (a situation); to profit from; as, to capitalize on an opponent's mistakes s>. the operational results and competitive advantages that are possible through PlantWeb's predictive intelligence."
