Produced by the EMIT Group between 2017 and 2018 in an area adjacent to the port of Beirut, the Coral Composting Treatment Plant manages an incoming flow of 750 tonnes per day of organic fraction selected mechanically from solid urban waste.
The process consists of the following areas:
Receiving the organic fraction selected mechanically upstream
Composting the organic fraction in 37 bio-tunnels equipped with forced aeration
Refining, in order to produce compost for use in agriculture or environmental remediation projects
Recovering metalsTreating exhaust air extracted from the bio-tunnels
Thanks to a close-knit, specialist team of technicians and by virtue of the expertise gained over hundreds of automation projects, in this case, as in all the initiatives in which it is involved, FAST played a fundamental role in the success of the project, confirming itself as a reliable, essential partner for international initiatives.
The automation system is based on architecture with centralised PLCs and SCADA in the control room, and I/Os distributed throughout the plant via the Profinet network.
The contribution made by FAST took the form of supplying:
- LV power and distribution panels
- Control and monitoring system (PLCs, RIOs, SCADA)
- Field and control network
- Control and monitoring application software
- Testing and commissioning
