| Popis: | Modular construction of process and mechanical skids is becoming commonplace in onshore installations located in harsh or remote environments where construction and labor costs have a major impact on determining the method of construction and selection of equipment. By locating and wiring more equipment on a module, significant cost and schedule savings can be achieved when the module is brought to the site for final installation. This paper will consider different design scenarios of modularized electrical systems in hazardous areas, and compare the cost savings as well as ease of installation, safety, construction and operations with modular installation methods of motor control centers in the hazardous area. Data from plants under design will be presented and compared for traditional plant design versus modular low voltage motor controls. The paper will also address the negative impacts that arise from this design and present input from a maintenance, control, safety and operations perspective. |
