The Industrial Control System MQP is sponsored by Babcock Power Services (BPS) and aims to create the logic and HMI screens used to control the burner management system of an industrial waste-to-energy boiler. Main Project goals: 1.) Create & Standardize Burner Management System for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) stoker. A complete system following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. 2.) Develop Boiler Control System using Rockwell Automation’s Logix Designer program. 3.) Design Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens using Rockwell’s Studio 5000 Design Software. 4.) A fully validated control system can be packaged for sale to industrial customers by BPS.
