Comeca - Hydrogen
To ensure the service continuity of your hydrogen production, we offer a global supervision of your installation. The information flows are shared between process control and electricians, enabling predictive maintenance of the engines.

Comeca designs and installs control systems that operate autonomously while monitoring safety critical data. The supervision system provides a local and remote view of the site and key processes and alerts personnel to any system anomalies.

Smart Automation
Our automation solutions provide integrated and safe control of the entire hydrogen manufacturing and storage process. As an experienced partner to the O&G industry, we have experience in process technology as well as in the automation of potentially explosive applications. As hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, explosion protection requirements must be taken into account at all stages of the process.

Smart Automation
In accordance with our customers’ functional safety and hazardous area assessments (ATEX) our solution is based on using safe PLCs (FailSafe) and safe remote I/O modules with appropriate SIL certification to meet a number of safety instrumented functions (SIF).
Our solution has a fully integrated automation system. All functions are available on a single platform. This automation base is supplemented by the HMI interfaces (including ATEX) required for site operation, local touch panels and a Scada supervisor.
Our components are certified explosion-proof or intrinsically safe for use in applications with potentially explosive atmospheres.

System availability is crucial in the process industry so measures to increase it must include use of redundant architectures to guard against failure of automation components. For a redundant system, a pair of redundant controllers is recommended.
Our solution uses two redundant controllers that both run the same PLC program. An additional high-performance network connection between the two controllers ensures the necessary data synchronisation. Only one of the two controllers addresses the fieldbus components at any given time, the programs are executed on both controllers with the same database. If one controller fails, the second controller seamlessly takes over, avoiding site downtime and data loss.

GemStart is a digital motor protection relay widely used in the oil industry. It is a valuable addition to the protection and control of motor starters for hydrogen production. It provides access to a wide range of information about electric motors, both on the process control side and on the electrical preventive maintenance side.
GemStart is a digital motor protection relay widely used in the oil industry. It is a valuable addition to the protection and control of motor starters for hydrogen production. It provides access to a wide range of information about electric motors, both on the process control side and on the electrical preventive maintenance side.
The GemStart5 digital protection relay provides the three primary functions of control, protection and monitoring for all direct-fed asynchronous electric motors from 110VAC to 24kVAC. With a modular approach and a wide choice of power supplies, extensions and visualisation facilities, all users will find the combination that best suits their needs at the best price.
GemStart5 integrates seamlessly with Comeca’s withdrawable motor switchboards. Circuit design is simplified, project implementation time is minimised and flexibility is optimised through simple configuration parameters. Commissioning time is minimised and system protection is ensured by accurate and easy-to-use self-adjustment functions. The drawers can be replaced or added while the switchboard is powered up: the fixed part memory module (PAMM) stores the settings and the event history and automatically communicates this information to the replacement motor feeder.

GemPro is the configuration and control software for GemStart5 protection relays. This software can be installed on any computer or tablet compatible with Windows® operating systems. The connection to the GemStart5 is made on the front face with a cable or with a Bluetooth link.
GemView5 is a supervision tool with SCADA functionalities that can be adapted to all projects. It animates the synoptic diagrams of the electrical installation and allows the monitoring of all the equipment with, in particular, the reporting of alarms, the drawing of curves, the faithful representation of electrical switchboards and many other functions.
By providing more information and delivering it much earlier, the digital motor protection relay avoids most emergency maintenance and unwanted production downtime.
Curative operations (sometimes at night or at weekends, when the teams are reduced) then become preventive operations.
The job is changing by taking the time to observe and analyse data to adopt a predictive approach. This makes it easier to coordinate and take advantage of planned production stoppages to concentrate on preventive maintenance operations. This is a virtuous circle.
The service provided by digital protection is to ensure continuity of service and production by giving complete and early information to the electrician maintainer and more synthetic information to the process operator.
The electrician can display on his electrical switchboard or on his terminal all the information, alarms, status, measurements and history that are useful to him. He can choose to "overload" himself with information to improve his preventive or predictive approach.
For process control, the information is more synthetic because the most important information is the availability of the engine when running or stopped, as well as its percentage of load. An additional indication may be that the motor is "at risk", i.e. that it has left its reliability zone although it is still perfectly functional. This indication alone, which may include a number of alarms, allows the process to be moderated or a back-up motor to be considered.
