GSEC of Seoul, Korea, has awarded Invensys Process Systems a multimillion dollar automation contract to provide an integrated process control, safety, asset management, and plant information system solution for the grassroots Laffan Refinery.
Once operational in 2008, the refinery will process approximately 146,000 barrels per day of gas condensates from the adjacent Qatargas and Rasgas LNG liquefaction facilities, making it one of the world's largest condensate refineries.
"Important grassroots refinery projects such as the Laffan Refinery don't come along very often and Invensys is honoured to have been selected as automation supplier," said Ken Brown, president of Invensys Process Systems.
"Once again, Invensys' proven track record in successfully implementing projects of this scale anywhere in the world, combined with our ability to deliver a well-integrated process control, safety, asset management, and plant information solution, were key factors."
The Invensys automation systems at the new Laffan Refinery will be interfaced to existing Invensys systems at both the Rasgas and Qatargas.
Invensys will supply Foxboro's latest Mesh Control Network-based I/A Series process control system technology; Triconex triple-modular-redundant technology for both the safety instrumented system and the fire and gas protection systems; condition monitoring; as well as advanced refinery and offsites applications. |
