Emerson Completes Digital Automation Engineering and Design for $12 Billion Liquefied Natural Gas Project in Qatar
Emerson Process Management announced the completion of digital automation engineering and design for the $12 billion Qatargas II facilities expansion, one of the world's largest Liquefied Natural gas (LNG) projects. Emerson, the Main Instrumentation and Controls Contractor (MICC) for the project, has begun integration and testing of the digital automation system, and will install its PlantWeb digital architecture, assist with the expansion project commissioning and start-up, and provide operator training.
The Qatargas II expansion, a joint venture of Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil and Total, will add onto the existing Qatargas site at the Ras Laffan Industrial City, which has three operational LNG units - or trains - producing 8 million tons of liquefied gas annually. Phase one of the QG-II expansion includes Liquefied Natural Gas train number 4, scheduled to begin delivery of 7.8 million tons LNG per annum to the United Kingdom in mid 2008. Train number 5 is then scheduled to produce an additional 7.8 million tons per annum nine months later. These LNG liquefaction trains are two of the largest in the world.
Post start-up services by Emerson will include a multi-year commitment to furnish and manage hardware and software for plant automation systems; safety instrumented systems, training simulation, plant-wide data historian, transmitters, valve positioners, and advanced control solutions.
