We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Emergency Shutdown System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Control system is passed fit for marine duties from
Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Centum CS 3000 integrated production control system has received a Software Conformity Assessment Certificate from Lloyd's Register Asia for use in marine
vessels".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Integrated control system to boost gas production from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation): "A new integrated ABB control system for a North Sea gas platform will help BP expand production and tap new sources of gas".
In February 2006, we covered the news from Invensys
- take a look at Scada system to revamp Austrian gas supply
which says: "Invensys Process Systems Austria has won a contract to supply a Scada system based on its I/A Series hardware for a major site revamp being carried out by OMV Austria Exploration and Production".
Take a look also at the news release from Invensys Foxboro, Control system installed at Lithuanian refinery,
as well as BP Exploration signs for control and safety from Yokogawa UK,
and Process system ordered for Dutch treatment plant from Honeywell Industry Solutions.
