Invensys to Upgrade DCSes at Malaysia LNG Plant

英维思为马来西亚LNG工厂升级DCS系统 

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——英维思运营管理签署了一项价值1240万美元的合同，为马来西亚液化天然气有限公司（MLNG）实施分布式控制系统（DCS）的升级和现代化。该主要升级将提供一个可持续更新的DCS，以保持MLNG在马来西亚Sarawak州Bintulu的液化天然气运营业务的生产力和安全性。该项目预计将于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.”

英维思运营管理东盟、日本和台湾地区副总裁兼董事总经理Terence Chan表示：“我们凭借高超的技术、经过验证的迁移方法和深入的项目专业技能赢得了这一大型、复杂的DCS迁移项目，我们对此深感自豪。这一升级对于帮助MLNG满足日益增长的需求以及实现其拥有世界级的卓越安全性和生产力的愿景非常关键。”

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.

多年来MLNG一直在所有运营中都使用英维思运营管理的Foxboro I/A系列DCS，而目前的合同要求将所有MLNG现有的分布式控制系统升级到更新的Foxboro I/A系列CP270模式。CP270 DCS提供相当于上一代控制器两倍的容量和三倍的性能，在苛刻的环境中提升成本效益。新的Foxboro系列拥有容错和性能调整功能、逻辑、时间和顺序控制功能，以及数据采集、报警检测和通知功能。该I/A系列解决方案能够为流程工业中任何重要的控制系统提供最高的可用性，并且为了连续不停顿的业务运营而设计，其容错功能置于系统的所有层面，从流程控制器到冗余现场网络和现场总线模块。

“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董事总经理Medan Abdullah表示：“随着全球各国积极地将液化天然气作为更加环保的能源、以及各工业化国家对于可靠的液化天然气获取的持续不断的需求，在未来10年，液化天然气交易量预计将大幅提升。我们需要一个可升级的、新一代的DCS，以帮助我们保持作为主要LNG厂商的地位，同时减低成本并帮助我们维持运营业务的安全性和完整性。这一升级将延长我们工厂控制系统的生命周期，使我们掌握未来技术提升的必需方法，并可以让我们能够实现卓越的安全性和生产力。”

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还使用英维思的现场仪表和先进应用程序，例如SimSci-Esscor操作员培训仿真系统和Triconex安全系统。

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综合大楼包括MLNG、MLNG Dua和MLNG Tiga工厂。其拥有大约2300万吨的综合年产量，以及包括六个LNG存储罐和两个装载码头等配套设施，是目前全球最大的单一地点LNG生产设施之一。
