    [ Star Enterprise of Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] ReNew ELP, an advanced recycling company in the UK, chose Emerson (NYSE:EMR) as its digital automation partner for its new plastic recycling plant in Deeside, Northeast England
    .
    Emerson's automation technology and software help the innovative hydrothermal treatment process to operate safely and efficiently, convert waste plastics into raw materials for the production of new plastics, and reduce waste and pollution
    .

    At present, many post-consumer plastic wastes, including flexible plastics and multi-layer plastic packaging, such as plastic films, plastic cans, plastic buckets/basins, and pallets, are "non-recyclable" in traditional mechanical recycling methods, and ultimately require Dispose of through landfill or incineration
    .
    According to data from the World Economic Forum, 95% of plastic packaging materials, valued at US$8-120 billion per year, will lose economic value after the first use
    .

     

    "ReNew ELP can convert scrap plastics into fossil substitute raw materials, to a large extent, avoid unnecessary disposable use of plastic products , realize the recycling plastic economy of raw materials, create value, and reduce waste
    .
    " ReNew ELP management Director Richard Daley said, “The key to achieving these goals is to build the first commercial-scale factory and use this unique hydrothermal platform.
    Emerson is a long-term partner we have found to create advanced automation models and Promote the planning of more factories throughout Europe

      The ReNew ELP plant will use a breakthrough advanced recycling process called HydroPRS™ (Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling System) to convert plastic waste into valuable initial chemicals and petroleum raw materials for production through supercritical steam (high pressure and high temperature) , And use it to make new plastics and other materials
    .

     

      "The HydroPRS process is currently undergoing life cycle assessment by Warwick Manufacturing Group to study its impact on the environment, global warming potential (GWP), and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from incineration of plastic waste treatment to advanced recycling," Daley said.
    "Preliminary investigation results show that compared with garbage (incineration), this process requires less energy and significantly reduces the global warming potential, which is conducive to obtaining fossil light oil products and helps to find a feasible path to achieve zero emissions
    .
    "
     

      As the main automation contractor, Emerson is responsible for deploying complete automation and control solutions to ensure safe and efficient production operations with minimal operator intervention
    .
    Emerson’s project deterministic program can realize the digital implementation of the project and achieve budget and on-schedule delivery; the operational deterministic program helps ReNew ELP achieve higher performance and greater profit during the entire plant life cycle operation process
    .

     

      Roel Van Doren, President of Emerson’s Global Sales Group, said: “Emerson has the ability to support the environmental sustainability goals of industrial companies by improving efficiency, expanding the use of clean energy, emission capture, and improving waste management
    .
    ” “Through collaborative project engineering, develop advanced With digital solutions and life cycle services, Emerson will help ReNew ELP create a solution that supports sustainable development and helps advance the goal of protecting resources
    .
    "
     

      In this automation solution, Emerson will provide integrated control and safety systems, including DeltaV™ distributed control system and DeltaV SIS safety instrumented system for process control, emergency shutdown, and fire and gas detection
    .
    Emerson’s Plantweb™ digital ecosystem combines wired and wireless networks supported by advanced measuring instruments to visually manage process operation data and equipment health
    .
    The automation system will adopt widely used control valves, on-off valves and pressure control technologies suitable for severe and general working conditions, and deploy a series of asset management solutions to improve equipment reliability, process availability, and increase Production, while minimizing the time for operators to perform manual inspections on site
    .

     

      The factory is expected to be put into operation at the end of 2022.
    In the first phase, a recycling production line (four in total) will be built, each of which can process 20,000 tons of plastic waste per year
