Based on the experience in erecting an automated extraction plant, this paper discusses why automation is used in an extraction plant, process design and the choice of automation level, the choice of a microprocessor, demands on system hardware, the use of a micro‐processor for security control, the cost of automation, maintenance costs for an automated system, and personnel factors when planning to use automation.
