BP公司選定愛默生公司作為升級其三大美國煉油廠自動化合同的主要供應商

AUSTIN, Texas--Feb. 10, 2006--Emerson Process Management, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR), and BP International Ltd., one of the largest oil and gas producers in the United States, today announced a contract naming Emerson as the main automation contractor for the replacement of aging process automation systems at BP's three largest U.S. refineries.

德克薩斯2月10號消息—愛默生公司屬下業務的愛默生過程管理公司，與美國最大的石油和天然氣生產商BP國際有限公司今天共同宣布簽署合同，選定愛默生公司作為替換BP公司在美國的三個最大煉油廠老化的過程自動化系統的主要自動化供應商。

The contract covers 18 units at three BP U.S. refineries -- Whiting, Ind., Texas City, Texas, and Carson, Calif. Combined, these facilities refine about 1 million barrels of crude per day, or about 7 percent of total U.S. refining capacity. The upgrades are part of BP's ongoing commitment to improving facilities in North America.

合同覆蓋了BP美國三個分別位于印第安納、 德克薩斯和加利福尼亞的工廠的18個設備。這三個工廠每天大概可以提煉一百萬桶的原油，占全美國提煉總量的7%。這些升級是BP公司正在對北美工廠改善的一部分。

Under the contract, new digital automation and control systems will be installed in 18 different production units at these refineries, resulting in improved efficiency and reliability in the refining process. Critical units to be upgraded include fluid catalytic cracker units, cokers, ultracrackers and alkylation units.

合同規定，新一代數字自動裝置和控制系統將安裝在這三個工廠18個不同的生產設備上，用于提高提煉過程中的效率和可靠性。關鍵單元的升級包括液態催化裂化裝置設備、煉焦器、超加氫裂化裝置以及烷化設備。

As the main automation contractor, Emerson will be responsible for the front-end engineering design, detailed design, and implementation of the new digital systems.

作為自動化的主要供應商，愛默生將負責這新數字系統的前端工程設計、詳圖設計以及工程的實施。

In addition to process automation, networking the systems with intelligent measurement instruments and digital valves will enable Emerson's PlantWeb® digital automation architecture, providing a platform that also supports asset management applications to help the refineries optimize performance.

除了過程自動化，帶有智能測量儀器和數字閥的網絡系統將安裝愛默生的PlantWeb®數字自動架構，從而也提供了一個支持資產管理應用的平臺，用于幫助煉油廠優化性能。

Emerson will work with BP to set the standards, processes and implementation procedures for the upgrade projects. Other control system elements such as field measurement devices and control valves will be replaced as needed.

愛默生將同BP公司協作，共同制定標準、步驟以及施工程序。其他控制系統組成部分例如現場測量裝置以及控制閥等將視其需要而更換。

"Following an extensive evaluation of the supply market and available technologies, BP has taken a strategic decision to introduce Emerson digital control systems into its refining base," said Patrick E. Gower, Refining Vice President, U.S. Region for BP. "The powerful combination of Emerson's proven DeltaV systems, PlantWeb technology and a compelling value proposition positioned Emerson as the supplier of choice for this program and now resets the baseline for this sort of project."

BP公司美國區副總裁Patrick E. Gower 說：“在對市場需求和要利用到的技術進行廣泛估計之后，BP公司作出了一個戰略決定，引進愛默生數字控制系統到其提煉基地。愛默生DeltaV系統、PlantWeb技術以及令人稱道的價值主張的強大聯合，使其成為我們為此個程序選擇的供應商，現在，正在為此項目重新安排基線。”

"We're excited that BP is continuing its commitment to developing its relationship with Emerson by upgrading these important refineries with our PlantWeb digital architecture," said John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. "This contract highlights the combining of our main automation contracting expertise and digital technology to help BP upgrade the three sites to smart refineries, and gain the maximum value from our automation systems and asset management software. Emerson may well play a vital role in engineering other necessary instrumentation and control systems for BP as these projects get under way."

愛默生過程管理公司總裁John Berra指出：“我們對BP公司通過采用我們的PlantWeb數字架構升級這些重要的煉油廠來繼續發展同愛默生的關系感到非常興奮。這個合同匯萃了我們主要的自動化專門技術以及數字技術用于幫助BP公司將這三個地方的廠升級為智能煉油廠，而且利用我們的自動化系統和資產管理軟件獲取最大的價值。隨著BP公司這些項目的開展，我們將在其他必要使用儀器和控制系統工程方面扮演一個很好的重要角色。”
