Superior Controls has successfully completed the programming,implementation, and validation of a DeltaV based automation system for a 5.1MW Cogeneration System at BiogenIdec. The DeltaV distributed control system was configured to monitor and control several new Central Utility Plant Systems including a 60K PPH Heat Recovery Steam Generator, two 50K PPH Auxiliary Boilers, a 1.2K Ton Steam Absorption (13.8KVolt) Combustion Chiller, and the 5.1MW Solar Turbine Generator. Four Rockwell, ControlLogix PLC controllers were also utilized to provide local control and feed critical process data to the DeltaV DCS System. The newly expanded six story Cambridge-based BiogenIdec building houses the new equipment.

Joe Musiak, Associate Director at BiogenIdec, said, "We selected Superior Controls because of their experience with DeltaV and cogeneration facilities in general. Also, their large engineering staff and emergency response service was a factor."
