Abstract

In this Paper, we have Improved the Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate using the Design of Automated Measurement Systems. The Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate uses a Large Weight. The Quality of a Product Depends Highly on the Proportion of the Raw Material Input in the Production Process. Therefore, it is Very Important to Accurately Measure the Amount of Raw Material. For Automation Design, Load Cell Sensor which can Measure Large Weight Accurately and PLC Technology which is most used in Automation Process are Applied. The Content of Aluminum Oxide in the Aluminum Sulfate Produced before the Automation Design Varies from 8.023% to 8.250%. However, after Automation Design, the Amount of Change from 8.09% to 8.19% was Greatly Reduced. As a Result, we could Reduce the Quality Defect rate Due to Weighing Errors and Reduce Safety Accidents by Applying Automation System.

본 논문에서는 자동화 계측 시스템 설계를 통하여 액상황산알루미늄 제조 공정을 개선하였다. 액상황산알루미늄 제조과정은 대용량의 무게를 사용하며 제품의 품질이 생산과정에서 투입되는 원료의 비율에 높게 의존하기 때문에 정밀한 중량 분석이 매우 중요하다. 자동화설계를 위하여 대용량의 무게를 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 로드셀 센서와 자동화 공정에서 가장 많이 활용되는 PLC 기술을 적용하였다. 자동화 시스템을 사용하기 전에 생산된 황산알루미늄에 포함된 산화알루미늄의 함량은 8.023% ~ 8.250%의 변화가 나타났으나 자동화 시스템 적용 이후에는 8.09% ~ 8.109% 로 변화폭이 크게 감소하였다. 그 결과 계량오차에 의한 품질 불량률을 감소시킬 수 있었으며 물과 재이용수의 부정확한 투입으로 인한 반응제품의 역류 현상과 같은 안전사고를 감소시킬 수 있었다.
