bulk liquid terminal facilities around the world. Standardising on Emerson’s DeltaV digital automation system will help Vopak meet growing demand for reliable liquid oil, gas, and chemical storage and terminal services – demand driven by increasing global energy usage and geographic imbalances between production and consumption. Terminal automation contributes greatly to operational success in safety, health and the environment, effectiveness and efficiency. Te process control systems will help Vopak reduce project lead time, improve strategic planning and project execution, and operate terminals more efficiently (Fig. 1). Under the agreement, Emerson will design,
configure, and implement digital automation systems for new automation projects at Vopak terminals, as well as provide on-going support services for new and existing automation systems. Vopak is the world’s largest independent tank storage provider with 83 terminals in 31 countries. Emerson’s selection builds on a long-term relationship that also includes the implementation of its Syncade Logistics software at Vopak’s fuel distribution terminal at Amsterdam Westpoort in the Netherlands.
Coal seam gas to LNG Australia Pacific LNG has selected technology developed by Honeywell Process Solutions’ (HPS) advanced solutions business to deliver a data consolidation and reporting technology framework. Te solution, built on Intuition Executive, will support the production, operations and asset management functions of its world class coal seam gas (CSG) to LNG project. Origin - the upstream operator of the Australia
Pacific LNG Project - is currently the largest producer of CSG in Australia, supplying gas to power stations to produce electricity with lower greenhouse gas emissions. Te Australia Pacific LNG project will supplement domestic gas production and deliver cleaner energy to a world market. Honeywell’s Intuition Executive is software for enterprise-wide information integration and real-time visualisation. It combines information and graphics to help users make better decisions and drive intelligent operations by managing, monitoring and optimising production and operations.
HPS’ CGS operations monitoring solution is a configurable data consolidation, analysis and reporting environment built on Intuition Executive. It easily scales and is flexible to meet the demands typical of the rapid expansion of field and facility
infrastructure in emerging CSG operations. Australia Pacific LNG is a joint venture project
between Origin, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec that includes development of existing CSG fields in the Surat and Bowen basins and construction of a gas transmission pipeline from the gas fields to an LNG facility being developed on Curtis Island in Gladstone. Honeywell also has been selected by Staatsolie
Maatschappij Suriname, the state-owned hydrocarbon and sustainable energy company, to upgrade the safety and control system at its Suriname refinery to its integrated control and safety system (ICSS) solution.
Te upgrade is being designed and implemented within the context of the Suriname refinery expansion project, which will double the capacity and expand significantly the range of products and fuels, with a special focus on the satisfaction of the domestic transportation market.
Yokogawa in Saudi Yokogawa Electric subsidiary Yokogawa Saudi Arabia has been selected as the process control system supplier for the Rabigh Ⅱ project in which Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical have decided to invest. By expanding the ethane cracker and building
a new aromatics complex, the project will use an additional 30 million standard ft3/d of ethane and approximately 3 million t/y of naphtha as feedstock to produce a variety of high value-added petrochemical products. Each plant will be brought on stream as it becomes available for operation, beginning the first half of 2016. Yokogawa will supply its flagship products, the CENTUM VP production control system and the ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system, for the petrochemical complex. Tis, says the company, is an indication that
Yokogawa’s business partners acknowledge its success in the Rabigh I project and have full confidence in Yokogawa’s capabilities. With phases I and II combined, this is the largest
project for which Yokogawa has been selected in the Middle East. Since the foundation of Yokogawa Saudi Arabia in 2006, the company has strengthened its engineering capabilities in the kingdom through the course of several mega projects. Yokogawa says its success in these projects has earned the customer’s confidence in its local project execution capabilities, leading to the decision for the Rabigh Ⅱ project to be fully executed in Saudi Arabia, at the company facilities in Dhahran Techno-Valley. ●
