2. All the terms below mean exactly the same thing • SCADA = Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition • HMI = Human-Machine Interface • Process Visualization software • DCS console software SCADA/HMI/Visualization/DCS console is a class of software that presents data available at DCS (Distributed Control System) or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in a form that a human can understand. The plant personnel can also manipulate the settings of DCS/PLC directly from such SCADA systems, as a modern alternative to a traditional control room. SCADA systems come from independent software houses or from DCS vendors. The most popular independent SCADA systems are Intellution’s FIX, OSI’s PI, and Wonderware’s Intouch. All state-of-art SCADA systems are compatible with Microsoft Excel.

23. SAVINGS The savings that can be achieved by using the integration of SCADA with Chemstations software will be result of: • Running the plant with high quality product, less pollution, and faster using the existing equipment • Online optimization of the production • Maintaining better product and production documentation, according to FDA and other procedures/standards • Reducing the duration and cost of start-up • Limiting shutdowns only to planned ones • Avoiding breakdowns and unpleasant failures • Optimizing, calibration and tuning the control system in short period of time • Training operators to higher level of understanding

24. SAVINGS EXAMPLE We are talking about substantial savings. We have a client that makes and operates many 5 kt/y units for on-site production of Chlorine Dioxide. This is one the smallest production capacities at which continuous processes are operated. This technology was mastered by the client who had been using CHEMCAD and a SCADA system for several years. Yet, applying the SCADA2CC has brought the client additional savings estimated to $70,000 yearly per each of aforementioned small units.

25. ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION We have understood from works we have done under secrecy agreements with some of our clients that: • For a well operated advanced plant producing commodity chemicals and already using SCADA systems for several years, the savings could be estimated to 1 – 1½ % of operating cost • For a commodity chemical manufacturer who has just started using SCADA systems, the savings could be at least 1½ - 3% of the operating cost • For a large plant such as Oil Refinery already using SCADA systems for several years, the savings could be estimated to 0.2 – 0.5% of the operating cost • For a large plant such as Oil Refinery that has just started with SCADA systems, the annual savings could be at least 0.5 – 0.8% of the operating cost

26. WHAT ARE THE OTHER SAVINGS? • If you could deliver the product with better specifications, and every production unit could be better controlled…What are the savings? Ask yourself • If you could quickly change to make another product with existing equipment, especially if you need to follow the FDA rules and get the FDA acceptance… What are the savings? Ask yourself • If you could get a large contract based on better production planning, better documentation, and better product qualityWhat are the savings? Ask yourself For some it could be 50% savings, and for some 5%. We believe 10% of savings first year will returnmany times the investment in CHEMCAD and the SCADA integration
