F&G and ESD for gas compressing unit

Scope of work:

Procurement, assembling FAT, commissioning, SAT for:

- PLC rack (SIL 3, HIMA), operator station (PcVue)

- PCS rack (Atlas Copco)

Procurement installation and SAT for:

- Fire & Gas System with SIL 3, Shut down valves

- Integration of flow meter skid

The software development was based on configuration specifications and technical requirements, design by SIS SA and approved by Atlas Copco Romania and OMV Petrom.

Next stage of the project will be the up-grade of the ESD system for cover the process up-grading from 1 compressor to 2 compressors.

 

Description:

The application was developed for the monitoring and safe operation of a methane gas compression station, facility that represents a strategic unit both for the secure operation point of view and also relative to the prevention of accidental gas or possible fire sources. Because of the high temperature conditions inside the casing special mounting systems were used.
