All these equipment elements are controlled by a centralized Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA). The entire project has been designed and developed using the latest technology and in accordance with the most up-to-date regulations such that the process strictly fulfills the ATEX regulation for working in explosive atmospheres, and the SIL 2 regulation for personnel protection.
