USDA Design and Build Project Moves Along

Posted: Tuesday 5th of May 2009 04:41:15 PM

MILLSTADT, Ill. - A current project being handled by In-Land Technologies Service (ITS) for the National Centers for Animal Health (NCAH) is moving along well and has already garnered positive feedback well before the project's 2007 installation date. 

           

            The project involves the installation of a new waste water treatment plant at a NCAH site in Ames, Iowa.  ITS is responsible for providing programmable logic controller hardware and process control system software for the new plant.  

           

            Travis Muskopf, a project engineer and manager for Sachs Automation, the ITS partner in this project, recently gave a ringing endorsement as to how the project is proceeding.

           

            "I firmly believe that the client was impressed and more than satisfied with the product he is going to get, both on the hardware and software side of the design," Muskopf said.  "I am a happy customer myself for all that ITS has done to get us to this point."

           

            And while ITS is pleased to hear the compliments while the project is in process, they know it is no time to rest on their laurels.  The massive Iowa project consists of storage tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, cook tanks and vent tanks. 

 

The hardware and software being designed and built by ITS will allow operation and remote monitoring of all of this equipment from a designated control room.  Plant operators will use desktop computers to view an overall operations screen depicting the system.  In addition, multiple sub-screens were developed to give the operators the ability to monitor and control every aspect of the process. 
           

"On projects like this we know we have to stay focused," said Mike Krisby, electrical engineer for ITS.  "We started the project this past March and we'll be responsible for startup and commissioning of the project in early 2007, so there's still a lot of work to do."

           

            It's all part of the process for ITS, a company known for full-spectrum service in plant automation and custom fabrication services.  From design to commissioning, ITS has been a respected partner for regional, national and international companies since 1989.
