Valmet is to deliver a control room simulator to Nordic Ren-Gas, a green hydrogen and e-methane developer in Finland.

Valmet’s delivery will also be equipped with the Valmet DNA automation system, which is aimed at proving and testing all central control room functions in a simulated and risk-free environment.

The target is to supply the complete central control room and have the final acceptance test at the end of 2024.

“Our project target is to build a pilot system to ensure and validate the central control room concept including functionalities and interfaces. This will also help us to test our operational strategies in running our multiple production facilities together as a whole portfolio. The choice for Valmet DNA automation system has been a thoroughly selected one. We wanted to develop our own way of working and with the full-scale simulator, we can build our operations to be ready to offer the services as optimal as possible from day one. The digitalisation enables new methods to testing and developing, so that not only our technology but also our people can be ready from the start,” said Aleksi Sipilä, automation manager at Nordic Ren-Gas Oy.

“The simulator is equipped with Valmet DNA automation system, which integrates energy and production optimisation, advanced process controls, and information management systems. With the simulator, Nordic Ren-Gas Oy can optimise and test the data driven operational strategies in a realistic environment. The simulator also offers an effective way to train the operators for various scenarios and situations in a risk-free environment. This delivery demonstrates Valmet's commitment to provide innovative and sustainable solutions for the hydrogen and Power-to-X sectors,” said Jyri Kaivosoja, senior product manager, automation systems at Valmet.
