Invensys
introduces Global LNG Business and Technology Centre
Posted: 22 March 2004
Will deliver high-impact technology and business solutions
across the LNG value chain to maximize asset utilization, minimize
risk, and reduce costs
Invensys announced the formation of the company’s Global
LNG Business and Technology Centre. The charter of the new worldwide
center is to work hand-in-hand with end users and global engineering
companies to deliver the full spectrum of Invensys’ innovative
automation and information solutions across the LNG value chain.
The solutions are designed to help improve reliability, ensure
safe operation, maximize asset utilization and performance; minimize
risk; and reduce costs in new and existing liquefaction plants,
LNG carriers, and regasification terminals.
“The global LNG industry is clearly entering an exciting
growth phase that will present LNG producers, transporters, and
distributors with new opportunities and new challenges that —
in some cases — will force these companies to re-think the
way they do business,” said Mike Caliel, president of Invensys
Process Systems.
“Invensys has already made a significant technical contribution
to the LNG industry. Our SimSci design tools, Foxboro control systems,
and Triconex safety systems are well-proven in global LNG facilities.
Foxboro is a leader in shipboard custody transfer systems. And we’ve
earned a reputation for excellence in large-scale LNG project management,”
said Caliel.
“The Invensys Global LNG Business and Technology Centre will
build upon this proven domain expertise, plus the company’s
broad technology and services portfolio, to develop and implement
new and innovative automation and information solutions designed
to help the global LNG industry meet its full potential for growth
and profitability.”
Invensys’ innovative solutions portfolio includes a unique
Design and Diagnostic methodology that enables the company’s
LNG industry consultants to more effectively aggregate and analyze
“as is” situational data and transform it into actionable
recommendations for business and process optimization. Working in
conjunction with Microsoft to leverage Microsoft .NET, BizTalk Server
2000, and other Microsoft technologies, Invensys is also pioneering
a powerful new real-time information environment that seamlessly
connects plant automation and information systems to business systems
to enable more effective collaboration and real-time decision support
across the LNG enterprise.
Headquartered in Singapore, the Invensys LNG Business and Technology
Centre will leverage a network of satellite centers located in Montreal,
Houston, and elsewhere. These centers will focus on developing,
deploying, and supporting business and technology solutions for
liquefaction, marine, and regasification. Additional resources will
be drawn as needed from Invensys’ other sales, support, and
technical centers around the world, thus enabling Invensys to deliver
consistently high-quality solutions and responsive support to LNG
customers anywhere in the world.
