Lopez Sugar Chooses Yokogawa CS3000 DCS

Lopez Sugar Corporation (LSC) joins the ranks of sugar mills to use Yokogawa Centum CS3000 DCS for its seeding and refinery vacuum pans.

This is LSC's first major automation project as part of its long term plan to address their competency in the sugar market. The award also marks the debut of the CS3000 R3.04 in the sugar industry.

The project was won over from the competition, after the end-user talked to other sugar factories using Yokogawa DCS. In the beginning, the end-user had accepted the packaged process solution of the competitor, but having heard of other Yokogawa users of the ease to operate and ease to modify, together with the local availability of after sales support, Lopez Sugar decided to choose CS3000. The CS3000 R3.04 would be the platform on which the succeeding phases over the next five years will be integrated.
