Why Focus On Filtration Skids? 1
• Filtration Skids are one of the larger unit operations / process equipment skids that cross all
industry verticals
– Plant Utilities: Clean water for boilers, water for injection, drinking water, wastewater treatment, etc.
– Filtration skids are usually controlled by PACs, PLCs and embedded control
– Most Filtration skids must interface to supervisory control system (DCS or PAC)

Top 20 Filtration Skid Suppliers Worldwide 1
• Suppliers (e.g. Siemens, GE, Koch, Pall, etc.) offering filtration skids with improved
performance and longer warranties
– Based on their knowledge and ownership of the filter technology
– While most filtration skid control code design is mature and done with basic PLCs, suppliers
will still consider some of the control algorithms to be intellectual property
• Filtration Skid OEMs are segmenting their offerings into basic low cost (component
class) skids and customized, high-end skids
– Especially on the cookie cutter, low-cost systems…control system acquisition price is very
important
– The more custom / larger skids tend to require more elaborate SCADA systems and utilize
more advance control systems
• With reduced engineering staffs, time saving tools for design and implementation are
becoming more critical
– E.g. faceplates, code libraries / AOI’s, ease of integration / data collection for VFD’s,
transmitters, valves, etc.

Rockwell Automation Positioning 4
• Filtration: /fil·tra·tion/ (fil-tra´shun) the act of changing a fluid by passing it through a filter or
other material that prevents passage of certain molecules, particles, or substances.
• Membrane Filtration - A semi permeable membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through
that are smaller than the membrane pores, while rejecting other molecules that are larger than the
membrane pores
(Confidential – For Internal Use Only) Copyright © 2010 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 26
Crossflow Filtration 6
• Crossflow Filtration
– The liquid to be filtered is pumped tangentially across
the membrane surface
– As the liquid moves across the membrane, rejected
components will continue to be washed away while
good parts of the liquid will pass through the membrane
as clean permeate
– Remaining concentrate is returned to the tank to be
recycled across the membrane to create more clean
permeate

Competitor 2: Emerson
Focused on Industry Domain Expertise and 7
End User Process Control System Spec
Strengths Weaknesses
• Marketing of DeltaV and Ovation Process • Limited Access to Training for OEMs
Control Systems • While they are strong on Main Process Operation control,
• Comprehensive Process Library and process balance of plant skids are not feasible due to lack of
control capabilities scalable control system
• Large Installed base in Power, O&G and – Very Expensive Solution for most Filtration Skids
Expanding in Life Sciences – Hardware can be competitive but controller tag licensing
• New S-Series I/O touts Electronic Marshalling becomes very cost prohibitive for skid OEMs
and has single point I/O module granularity • Not a complete automation supplier
• Can provide Control Hardware at prices • OEM Cannot test skid as fully functional before shipping
competitive with other control system – Only Half • Weak local inventory in most cities
the DCS Cost Story though • Lack of technical resources available – College Students,
• Complete Line of Transmitters Trade Schools, Large SI Community, Distributors, etc.
RA tactics to beat Emerson:
• Emerson leverages end user to pressure OEM in to installing I/O on skid and divulging Intellectual Property (control
know-how), allowing Emerson or their integrator to write skid control program on end user’s main control system
– RA Leverages OEM Team, local distributors, Colleges & Trade Schools, Large SI Community to let OEM and End User
choose delivery partner.
– By using PlantPAx solution based on a cost effective, scalable, open communications platform, skid ships fully functional
and can easily connect to most supervisory systems – exchanging information and follow control references, if needed.
• RA provides complete DCS functionality in a multi-disciplined (process, discrete, high speed, motion, etc.) scalable
architecture that offers true plantwide control from one control platform.
