    Planned Objectives

  • To establish a mayonnaise plant in addition to the existing control system
  • To install a Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) system in addition to the existing control system
  • Scalable and flexible solutions that can be easily changed and expanded

    Challenges

  • Upgrading the existing complex control system
  • Upgrading the control system in an active production facility
  • Ensuring that the solution is scalable for future expansions

    Results

  • The planned objectives were achieved by Mekanet. The additional system planned for mayonnaise production was integrated into the existing control system, and this integrated system was still open to changes planned for the future.

Case

The Medoil project is a project we completed in collaboration with our Dutch partners iAutomation and SELO, and the end user is in Tunisia. Our project has 8 boilers for different purposes. Mayonnaise production was planned in this process. In the first design phase, works within our scope were carried out, such as E-plan drawing, control panel supply, pneumatic configurations, and purchase and assembly of equipment inside the control panel. Later, a CIP (Cleaning In Place) panel was included in the project for external cleaning. The assembly of the CIP panel was also carried out in our workshop in Izmir. Afterwards, the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) process was completed by Mekanet Enerji team in Netherlands. During this process, cabling, panel assemblies, IO tests and pneumatic system installation were carried out.

In the first design phase, we were responsible for E-plan drawing, control panel supply and purchase of equipment inside the control panel. Later, the designs and drawings were revised by Mekanet Enerji according to customer requests. After the assembly was carried out in our workshop in Izmir, the panels were sent to Netherlands for FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) phase.
