What automation equipment is available in the chemical industry?

The chemical industry widely uses various types of automation equipment to improve production efficiency, ensure safety, and reduce energy consumption. The following are the main types of automation equipment and their functions:
1. Reaction and process control equipment
Used for automated control of chemical reaction processes, ensuring precise and controllable reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.).
Reactor type equipment: including electric heating reactors, steam reactors, jacket reactors, etc., supporting automatic temperature control and pressure regulation.
DCS/SIS system: using distributed control system (DCS) and safety instrumented system (SIS) to achieve full process automatic control and interlocking protection, preventing safety accidents such as overpressure and leakage.
Sequential control and batch system: Program control of multi-step reaction processes, suitable for fine chemical production such as coatings, additives, lithium battery materials, etc.
2. Material handling and conveying equipment
Realize automated feeding, transportation, and batching of raw materials, reduce manual intervention, and avoid dust pollution.
Powder automatic batching system: By combining industrial PC+PLC+weighing sensors, high-precision dynamic weighing and formula control are achieved, supporting multiple remote/local operation modes.
Powder closed conveying system: composed of dust-free unpacking, closed conveying, and quantitative feeding, to prevent toxic or flammable powder leakage.
Liquid filling and packaging line: The fully automatic weighing filling machine, combined with capping, labeling, coding, and sealing equipment, achieves automated packaging of chemical products.
3. Separation and purification equipment
Used for automated operation of key processes such as solid-liquid separation and distillation purification.
Centrifuges and filters: such as horizontal spiral discharge settling centrifuges and rotary drum vacuum filters, used for solid-liquid separation in PTA plants and lubricating oil production.
Ultra pure water equipment: integrated reverse osmosis+pretreatment process, automated control of water quality, suitable for electronic grade chemical production.
Distillation tower control system: The continuous distillation unit is equipped with functions such as automatic liquid level control, tower temperature and heat medium interlocking, and refrigerant interruption alarm.
