Noordgastransport
selects Honeywell to automate gas treatment plant
Posted: 14 April 2004
Experion will integrate with emergency shutdown system
to improve safety, efficiency and reliability
Honeywell Process Solutions announced Noordgastransport B.V. has
selected the Experion(tm) Process Knowledge System (PKS) and Fieldbus
instrumentation for its gas treatment plant in Uithuizen, the Netherlands.
Honeywell is responsible for managing the upgrade project and providing
hardware and software engineering services. Experion will replace
the plant's single-loop control and relay-based Emergency Shutdown
System (ESD).
"We chose Honeywell as the supplier for the entire upgrade
project because it offers an integrated automation solution with
emergency shutdown and Foundation Fieldbus," said Mr. Willem
Van der Plas of Noordgastransport.
The automation solution includes a redundant Experion system consisting
of two redundant C200 controllers with full Foundation Fieldbus
instrumentation, and a fully redundant Fail-Safe Control (FSC) system
for ESD and marshalling cabinets. Start-up of the project is scheduled
for July 2004.
Established in 1973 to transport gas from the offshore L10 block,
Noordgastransport B.V. owns a major natural gas transmission pipeline
system in the Dutch North Sea. The company also owns the onshore
gas treatment plant at Uithuizen, where natural gas liquids are
extracted from the gas stream, and a nearby railcar loading facility.
