Plant Safety

The optimal and user-friendly design of control rooms is a significant contribution to enhancing plant safety. Today, chemical plants are controlled with computer-based process control technology. The goal is to give the people in the control rooms exactly the information they need. After all: Especially in situations of malfunctions or during start-up and shut down, too much information can lead to information overload of the control staff.

So Degussa has drawn up detailed recommendations and checklists on the equipment and design of user interfaces for process control systems.
