Automation for Gas Processing Plants, Gas Stations and Terminals
Since 2014 TDL has worked on the control and safety systems of PetroVietnam Gas facilities: the Dinh Co Gas Processing Plant, the Phu My and Ba Ria gas distribution stations with the Long Hai and Phuoc Hoa block valve stations, and PV GAS Vung Tau Terminal (Thi Vai). The work covers compressor controls and vibration monitoring, a heater, shut-off valves and closing signals, shutdown systems and ICSS, station SCADA and the loading arm HMI. The projects below are grouped by equipment.
By equipment
Gas compressors and turbo expander
At Dinh Co, the SLC 500 controls of gas compressors
K-01 ,K-02 andK-03 and of the CC01 turbo expander replaced with redundant ControlLogix and PanelView HMI, the turbo expander with Ex-p and Ex-e panels certified for Zone 2 by a DNV (DNV GL) notified body; the obsolete governor air/fuel control of compressorsK-01A ,K-01B andK-02 /03 integrated into the existing ControlLogix system.Vibration monitoring
Allen-Bradley XM vibration monitoring modules on DeviceNet, vibration sensors and Emonitor software supplied and installed for gas compressors
K-1011A /B/C/D at Dinh Co.Project references
Heaters
The controller of heater
E-401B , a water bath heater with two burners at Phu My Gas Distribution Station, upgraded to MicroLogix 1100 in a flameproof and dust-protected local control panel for Zone 1/2 and Zone 21/22, with FAT with the client before shipment.Project references
Shut-off valves and closing signals
The inlet shut-off valve system at Phu My Gas Distribution Station installed and programmed across the AADvance safety system and the ControlLogix process control system; at Ba Ria and the Long Hai and Phuoc Hoa block valve stations, the
HS-804 ,HS-805 andHS-807 closing signals made redundant on 1715 redundant I/O.Shutdown systems and ICSS
The
PLC-5 / HIMA system at Phu My Gas Distribution Station replaced with an ICSS on redundant ControlLogix and AADvance, with new control panels and engineering control desk; at Thi Vai, the firmware of the SC300E shutdown system upgraded, with site tests coordinated with the system vendor's team.Station SCADA and piping monitoring
The
PLC-5 / RSView32 piping monitoring control system at Ba Ria Gas Distribution Station upgraded to redundant ControlLogix with FactoryTalk View SE server and clients and EtherNet/IP DLR remote I/O, reusing and reworking the existing panels.Loading arms
The RSView32 HMI of the loading arm system at Thi Vai replaced with FactoryTalk View SE on new workstations, linked to the existing redundant
PLC-5 controllers through DH+ to EtherNet/IP converters, with SAT and72-hour monitoring after cut-over.
