Oil Hellas chooses Honeywell
Posted: 8 April 2004
Corinth Refinery to increase control and monitoring capabilities
Through Honeywell TPS System
Honeywell Process Solutions announced today a $4.3 million contract
with Motor Oil Hellas (MOH) in Aghii Theodory, Greece to expand
the control and safety systems at the company's 100,000-barrel-per-day
refinery in Corinth.
The system expansion is part of a refinery-wide project to comply
with new European Union fuel specifications starting in 2005.
Through this project, the refinery will reinforce its ability to
control and monitor the new processes, while ensuring the safety
of daily operations.
"We have worked with Motor Oil Hellas since 1999 and are looking
forward to further strengthen our relationship through this new
opportunity," said Jerry Walker, Honeywell Process Solutions'
Vice President of Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Honeywell's
technology will provide MOH with cost-effective tools for optimizing
process performance, improving employee productivity and getting
better results overall from the resources they already have in place."
The contract includes Honeywell process control systems, High-Performance
Process Managers, Fail-Safe Control (FSC) systems, engineering,
on-site services and project management.
The project will be conducted in two phases. The first phase includes
the revamp of existing process units. To satisfy the needs of these
revamped units, Honeywell will add new modules to expand the existing
distributed control and safety management systems. Existing configuration
and operator interfaces will be modified properly according to the
revamping activities. The second phase is related to the construction
of new units - the Mild Hydrocracker, Hydrogen production, Sulfur
recovery, Utilities and others. A Honeywell distributed control
system designed with the same standards as the existing one will
control the new units. Four fully redundant Fail-Safe Control systems
will manage the emergency shutdown functions.
