Independent review of technical specification for the upgrade of a distributed control system on two 400MW coal fired generating units. Scope included boiler controls, burner management, data acquisition and historical archiving, and balance of plant controls.

Prior to forming VASPAC Inc. in 2001, Mr. Snowden was Engineering Manager, Utilities Business Unit, at Elsag Bailey Canada from 1994 to 1999. Under Mr. Snowdens stewardship, several large Distributed Control Systems (DCS) were designed, assembled, tested, and shipped all over the world from the Elsag Bailey facility located in Burlington, Ontario. As well as system design, assembly, and testing, project scope typically included application design, implementation, and factory testing by process simulation for boiler control systems (BCS), burner management systems (BMS), balance of plant (BOP) controls, data acquisition systems (DAS), human machine interfaces (HMI), and historical data archiving.
