Project NameAutomation & Control System for 100 TPD Hydrogenation Plant
Case Study: Chemical / Process - Hydrogenation
Turnkey Automation for 100 TPD Hydrogenation Plant - PLC, SCADA & Panel Manufacturing
Complete turnkey automation - control system engineering, in-house MCC panel manufacturing, PLC logic, SCADA deployment, and site commissioning - for a 100 TPD hydrogenation plant in the Philippines.
Project Overview
Project Information
Hive Automation provided a complete, turnkey automation and control solution for a 100 TPD Hydrogenation Plant for Ricor Mills Corporation, Philippines - covering the entire project lifecycle from control system design and in-house panel manufacturing to PLC and SCADA software development, testing, and on-site commissioning at the Philippines facility.
The hydrogenation process involves continuous reactor temperature and pressure control, hydrogen feed management, catalyst monitoring, and emergency shutdown - all of which were integrated into a unified PLC and SCADA system.
All MCC cum Control Panels were designed and manufactured entirely in-house at our Ahmedabad facility to ensure quality compliance and faster delivery timelines.

System Architecture
Technical Architecture
Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500 series PLC platform with distributed I/O selected for continuous process control, interlocks, and plant-wide integration.
SCADA system for real-time process monitoring, operator control, alarm handling, and trend logging across the hydrogenation process.
In-house manufactured MCC Cum Control Panel combining motor starters, protection relays, power distribution, and field terminations in a single fabricated enclosure.
Delivery Scope
Scope of Work & Key Deliverables
- Control system design - P&ID review, control philosophy, instrument list, and I/O schedule
- In-house MCC Cum Control Panel manufacturing - motor control, protection, and power distribution in a single fabricated panel
- PLC programming - sequence logic, temperature and pressure control loops, interlock and ESD logic
- SCADA system deployment - real-time process monitoring, alarm management, and trend logging
- In-house Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of complete system
- On-site commissioning at Ricor Mills, Philippines
Project Impact
Challenge & Outcome
Challenge
Delivering a turnkey automation solution - including in-house panel manufacturing - for an international client in the Philippines required tight engineering documentation, rigorous FAT, and careful packaging and logistics for panel shipment before site commissioning.
Outcome / Result
The 100 TPD Hydrogenation Plant was commissioned at Ricor Mills Philippines in October 2022. Full turnkey delivery - from control system design to in-house panel manufacturing, PLC and SCADA programming, and on-site commissioning - was completed on schedule.
