Invensys to Upgrade DCSes at Malaysia LNG Plant

英維思為馬來西亞LNG工廠升級DCS系統

May 21, 2010 - Invensys Operations Management signed a US $12.4 million contract to upgrade and modernize a distributed control system (DCS) for Malaysia Liquefied Natural Gas Sdn. Bhd. (MLNG). The major upgrade will provide a continuously current DCS, sustain the productivity and safety of MLNG’s liquid natural gas operations in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The project is expected to be completed by 2014.

5月21日消息——英維思運營管理簽署了一項價值1240萬美元的合同，為馬來西亞液化天然氣有限公司（MLNG）實施分布式控制系統（DCS）的升級和現代化。該主要升級將提供一個可持續更新的DCS，以保持MLNG在馬來西亞Sarawak州Bintulu的液化天然氣運營業務的生產力和安全性。該項目預計將于2014年完成。

“We are proud to be selected for this large-scale complex DCS migration with superior technology, proven migration methodologies and deep project expertise,” said Terence Chan, vice president and managing director, Invensys Operations Management, ASEAN, Japan and Taiwan. “This upgrade is key to help MLNG meet growing demand and its vision for world-class safety and productivity excellence.”

英維思運營管理東盟、日本和臺灣地區副總裁兼董事總經理Terence Chan表示：“我們憑借高超的技術、經過驗證的遷移方法和深入的項目專業技能贏得了這一大型、復雜的DCS遷移項目，我們對此深感自豪。這一升級對于幫助MLNG滿足日益增長的需求以及實現其擁有世界級的卓越安全性和生產力的愿景非常關鍵。”

MLNG has used Invensys Operations Management’s Foxboro I/A Series DCS throughout its operations for many years and the current contract calls for upgrading all of MLNG’s existing distributed control systems to newer Foxboro I/A Series CP270 models. The CP270 DCS provides twice the capacity and three times the performance of older controllers, improving cost effectiveness in demanding environments. This newer Foxboro series are fault tolerant and perform regulatory, logic, timing and sequential control, as well as data acquisition, alarm detection and notification. Providing the highest availability of any critical control system in the process industry, the I/A Series solution is engineered for non-stop operation, with fault tolerance residing at all levels of the system, from process controllers to redundant field networks and fieldbus modules.

多年來MLNG一直在所有運營中都使用英維思運營管理的Foxboro I/A系列DCS，而目前的合同要求將所有MLNG現有的分布式控制系統升級到更新的Foxboro I/A系列CP270模式。CP270 DCS提供相當于上一代控制器兩倍的容量和三倍的性能，在苛刻的環境中提升成本效益。新的Foxboro系列擁有容錯和性能調整功能、邏輯、時間和順序控制功能，以及數據采集、報警檢測和通知功能。該I/A系列解決方案能夠為流程工業中任何重要的控制系統提供最高的可用性，并且為了連續不停頓的業務運營而設計，其容錯功能置于系統的所有層面，從流程控制器到冗余現場網絡和現場總線模塊。

“LNG trading volume is projected to significantly increase during the next 10 years as countries worldwide aggressively adopt it as a more environmentally friendly energy resource and as industrializing nations continue to demand reliable access to it,” said Medan Abdullah, managing director, MLNG. “We need a scalable, new-generation DCS to help us to sustain our role as a major LNG player, as well as reduce costs and help us maintain the safety and integrity of our operations. This upgrade will extend the life of our plant control system, equip us with the necessary gateway for future technology enhancements and enable us to achieve safety and productivity excellence.”

MLNG董事總經理Medan Abdullah表示：“隨著全球各國積極地將液化天然氣作為更加環保的能源、以及各工業化國家對于可靠的液化天然氣獲取的持續不斷的需求，在未來10年，液化天然氣交易量預計將大幅提升。我們需要一個可升級的、新一代的DCS，以幫助我們保持作為主要LNG廠商的地位，同時減低成本并幫助我們維持運營業務的安全性和完整性。這一升級將延長我們工廠控制系統的生命周期，使我們掌握未來技術提升的必需方法，并可以讓我們能夠實現卓越的安全性和生產力。”

Along with the Foxboro I/A Series DCS, MLNG also uses Invensys’ field instruments and advanced applications, such as the company’s SimSci-Esscor operator training simulator and Triconex safety systems.

除了Foxboro I/A系列DCS，MLNG還使用英維思的現場儀表和先進應用程序，例如SimSci-Esscor操作員培訓仿真系統和Triconex安全系統。

The Bintulu LNG Complex houses the MLNG, MLNG Dua and MLNG Tiga plants. It has a combined capacity of about 23 million tonnes per year, and together with ancillary facilities which include six LNG storage tanks and two loading jetties, and it is currently one of the worlds largest LNG production facilities from a single location.

Bintulu LNG綜合大樓包括MLNG、MLNG Dua和MLNG Tiga工廠。其擁有大約2300萬噸的綜合年產量，以及包括六個LNG存儲罐和兩個裝載碼頭等配套設施，是目前全球最大的單一地點LNG生產設施之一。
