Application of Wireless Communications in Chemical Production Process Control

Chemical production has lots of characteristics such as inflammability, susceptibility to explosion, strong corrosivity, continuity and needs harsh operation. Although temporary open wire may solve the problem in the short term, trouble spot will increase when it is corroded due to the particular chemical plant surroundings. Thus, chemical plant will be in danger because of lack of process parameters monitoring which causes many production halts even accident from place to place. WSN, after Fied Bus Technology, is revolutionary technology in lowing installation cost and broadening the applied range of IPMCS which has become another hot point in the sphere of control in chemical industry. As a stretch of cable network, wireless technology will not be substituted for Fied Bus Technology.
