Process knowledge system goes offshore
Brunei Shell Petroleum has chosen Honeywell's Experion PKS Process Knowledge System for monitoring, control and safety shutdown operations at its Well Jacket-2 platform off the coast of Brunei.
The integrated process control system will help Boehringer Ingelheim to capture and manage information to safeguard and increase quality, safety, productivity, profitability and overall operational effectiveness.
The scope of this project is significant.
While a typical batch installation is up to 200 phases, the new Boehringer Ingelheim facility runs more than 2000 phases.
To automate processes and optimise operations throughout the facility, Honeywell implemented Experion and advanced software applications.
Experion will encompass about 90 redundant controllers, approximately 20,000 I/O points, more than 2000 phases combined with more than 1000 batch operations and unit recipes to be handled and a significant amount of local operator stations.
Honeywell software applications TotalPlant Batch, Uniformance Process Historian Database, Fail Safe Controller (FSC) and Asset Manager PKS will be linked by Experion to provide total plant information, communication and control.
TotalPlant will provide integrated batch automation, and will guarantee compliance with the industry's highest reliability and regulatory requirements.
Honeywell's Fail Safe Controller (FSC) and Asset Manager PKS applications provide safety-critical supervisory functions and automate plant asset management.
