From March 16th to 17th, the Second China Petrochemical and Petrochemical Engineering Research Association sponsored the second petrochemical major instrument automatic control technology summit forum held in Shanghai.

Lu Lianhai, deputy director of the China Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Research Association, said that with the advancement of China's petroleum and petrochemical major engineering projects, the major production processes of large-scale petroleum and chemical companies have basically achieved automatic control, with an automatic control rate of more than 98%. However, the key integration software in the petrochemical field still relies mainly on imports. The core technology is still controlled by the hands of a few developed countries. There is still a certain gap between the performance of domestic instrumentation and international brand-name products, and the consumption of energy and material in China's petrochemical companies is " There is still a big gap between the application of "three wastes" emission and instrumentation control technology.

In view of the current status of China's automation technology, Xia Dehai, honorary chairman of the Automatic Control Engineering Design Committee of the China Instrument and Control Society, said that the task of the automation industry in China is to serve the green economy. The targets of the service are energy saving and emission reduction, and new energy sources such as wind power, solar energy, and bioenergy. . Experts attending the meeting stated that while vigorously developing high-end instrumentation with independent intellectual property rights, China must develop Internet of things and smart grid technologies, and strengthen the security of automation systems.

In addition to the main forum exchange, this forum also set up sub-forums such as energy-saving emission reduction and instrumentation automation technology, safety instrumentation, network security and equipment maintenance and diagnosis, and integrated control systems, and instrumentation new products, new technologies, and applications. The participants exchanged ideas on the design, application and maintenance of control systems such as DCS (Distributed Control System), PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and network security and safety instrumentation systems.
