A feed system that regulates the flow of solution fed to the borax crystalliser through PLC-integrated automatic proportional control. Feed systems of this kind are used so that the stream entering the crystalliser is measured and repeatable. Within the feed system scope, process design, equipment fabrication, site piping, electrical and automation integration and commissioning were delivered as one package.
Equipment fabrication covers laser cutting, stainless welding and precision machining, and flow control runs through PLC and SCADA integration. The system was installed at Eti Maden's borax production site in Kütahya in 2018.
