RusVinyl Company Profile


RusVinyl LLC is a Russian-Belgian joint venture operating a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Integrated
Plant near Kstovo, the Nizhniy Novgorod region.
RusVinyl PVC plant uses the cutting-edge European technologies (BAT Best Available
Techniques) that assure the necessary range of PVC with low process costs, and will comply with
the most rigorous environmental requirements of the Russian Federation. The plant capacities are
300 kilotons of PVC- suspension, 30 kilotons of PVC- emulsion and 225 kilotons of caustic soda.
The hardware and soware suit for Critical Engineering Infrastructure Monitoring System (CEIMS)
is designed to monitor technological processes and ensuring proper equipment functioning directly
in potentially hazardous facilities. CEIMS transmits the status information through communication
channels to duty dispatcher services (DDS) for further processing so to assess, prevent and
eliminate the accident consequences in real time, as well as provide the emergency information,
including terrorist attacks and the related forecast to public duty dispatch services (PDDS).
The CEIMS is intended for:
Reducing human and material losses in case of an emergency, fire
Automated real-time status monitoring of critical technological, life support, security, fire
protection, and communication systems for ensuring personnel, population, and environment
safety
Real-time reporting to municipal PDDS on pre-emergency or emergency state of technological,
life support, security, fire protection, and communication systems, as well as terrorist attacks
Informing appropriate services and departments (emergency, DDS, emergency rescue) through
municipal PDDS of carrying out certain rescue operations and eliminating accident, fire and
emergency consequences.

Challenges
Safe operation of the hazardous facility came to be important at the building construction stage.
Thereby, CEIMS was meant to provide the following features:
Forecasting and preventing emergency situations
Continuous data collection, transmission, and processing
Generation and transmission of formalized operating data to DDS
Generation and transmission of formalized emergency messages to PDDS
Automated or forced public notification on emergency
Automated or forced notification of services responsible for object safety
Automated or forced launch of alerting or emergency response systems for specific purposes or
objects
Emergency registration and documentation.
The customer set the main technical requirements, comprising redundancy based on the server
platform cluster, support for Linux OS and , and high CEIMS reliability through backing up
servers, controllers, computer-process interfaces, and data channels.

Solution
At the design stage, RusVinyl was considering several options for implementing the CEIMS, such as
alternative SCADA-based hardware and soware suites. In the end, they settled upon the Automated
Site Safety Monitoring System suite (rus. SAMBO) based on AggreGate soware for it was more
complete than the others as per customer requirements.
SAMBO is a scalable modular solution structured by object size, complexity and capacity. The solution
oers the following benefits:
Continuous safety-critical parameter value change monitoring for controlled systems and
engineering (load-bearing) structures
Sending emergency notifications to the Russian System of Prevention and Response to ES
Personnel decision support at the levels of Operations Control Duty Desk and Russian System of
Prevention and Response to ES
Reporting the site safety status to personnel and visitors.
SAMBO solution was implemented by Insight engineering corporation on a turnkey basis with
pre-installed AggreGate server and client soware. At the system commissioning stage,
COM/DCOM interfaces were configured for AggreGate to receive data via OPC, while the SOAP
soware module using secure IPsec VPN connection was also implemented for reporting to
regional emergency services.
At the project development stage, access to OPC data was provided by using Matrikon OPC
Tunneller. Furthermore, there were additional modules developed for connecting AggreGate to
PDDS via SOAP and generating XML messages for local ministries of emergency situations.

Benefits
AggreGate SCADA/HMI solution implemented on all-level Linux servers solved the import
phase-out problem and allowed to develop the new SAMBO system thanks to a large number of
drivers and interfaces available in AggreGate.
Monitoring of safety systems, communications, and automatic process control systems provided
ecient prevention of emergencies, fire, terror threats, and not only.
By means of the ecient emergency alerting system, the risks of environmental damage, financial
losses and losses among personnel have gone down dramatically. The solution largely contribut-
ed to technological process stability and correct safety system operation.
Ultimately, the AggreGate-based SAMBO hardware and soware suite allowed RusVinyl to lower
insurance expenses in potentially hazardous facilities and acquire an all-in-one automated moni-
toring and emergency alerting system.
