Clean fuel demand Honeywell has announced that the Antipinsky refinery in Tyumen, Russia, will use its Experion process knowledge system (PKS) to control plant processes and general refinery facilities as part of the third stage of construction there. Commissioning of the plant will double the refinery’s capacity to 7.5 million t/y, helping meet the growing demand for clean fuels and other oil products in Russia and the European Union (EU). Deploying Experion PKS is part of an initiative
to create a single, central operations centre at the refinery. As an additional part of this initiative, Honeywell will supply up to 60 additional workstations to the refinery, which will be installed in the unified refinery control centre. “Tere is significant demand for Antipinsky
refinery products, both in the region and throughout Russia and the EU,” said Leonid Sorkin, general manager, Honeywell Russia. “Honeywell’s advanced process automation systems will help the business grow efficiently and safely.” Te new construction is part of the refinery’s plan
to increase its capacity of crude oil processing and to enable manufacture in the next year of products that meet the EU Euro 5 emission standards. Te project also includes the construction of a water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, steam generation
plant and other general refinery facilities. Tis phase of construction is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Also in Russia, Honeywell has signed an
agreement with NK Rosneft, a Russia-based oil and gas producer, to be main automation contractor for the construction of its new refinery at Tuapse in the south of the country. Honeywell will deliver a comprehensive set of
services to equip the Tuapse refinery with a single integrated production control system – Experion PKS. With this, the refinery will be able to improve both the efficiency and profitability of its production process. Honeywell will also provide assistance during the design and commissioning stages of the project.
Better boundary management Invensys has signed a multi-year, multi-million Dollar contract with KBR to supply its SimSci PRO/II simulation software. Under the terms of a corporate licensing
agreement, Invensys will provide PRO/II steady-state simulation software to help KBR accurately model its process technology, used in both the designs KBR provides to its customers and the technology it licenses to the hydrocarbon processing industry. In addition, Invensys will provide on-site guidance to assist KBR during transition from the previous model. “Before agreeing to standardise on PRO/II
software, KBR needed new functionality to support them while they transitioned from a previous simulation tool,” said Tobias Scheele, vice president, design, simulation and optimisation for Invensys.
Rolls-Royce lands COSCO supply vessel contract R
olls-Royce has won an order to provide an integrated design and equipment package- including automation and control - for two offshore supply vessels to be built at COSCO’s Guangdong shipyard in China for the Singapore-based Chellsea Group, a provider offshore oilfield services. Te two Rolls-Royce UT 771 WP platform supply vessels will be the first vessels in Asia featuring the striking wave piercing bow designed to pierce through the waves in rough seas, making it possible to keep a more constant speed, reduce fuel
consumption and increase on board safety. Te vessels will be added to the fleet of two UT-vessels operated by Chellsea today.
Anders Almestad, Rolls-Royce
president – offshore, said: “Tis new design has been developed in co-operation between Rolls-Royce, the ship owner and the yard. Teir viewpoint has been vital to our design team in this project.” Te delivery from Rolls-Royce will comprise ship design and an extensive integrated systems package including MTU-engines, propulsion system, power electrical system, bulk
handling system, deck machinery, automation and control system as well as dynamic positioning system that use satellite technology to automatically maintain the vessels’ position without anchoring. Te two vessels are scheduled for
delivery in 2015. Te contract includes an option for additional four vessels. Tere are 22 Rolls-Royce UT-
vessels under construction in China at present. Of these, four UT-vessels are under construction at the COSCO Guangdong yard and four at the COSCO Zhoushan shipyard. ●
