New TUV certified SIL2 temperature transmitter
ABB has extended its range of HART temperature transmitters with the addition of a dual-compartment version, that offers independent SIL2 certification from TUV
This enables petroleum and petrochemical customers to access information quickly and in the right context, so they can manage all aspects of their operation more effectively.
These systems use, as their foundation, the System 800xA operations and engineering environment and integration capability.
Several of the pilot site deliveries will also include System 800xA High Integrity for integrated control and safety.
The Terminal Automation Systems will connect to the Petrom corporate ERP system, as well as integrate various third party systems and devices throughout the network of sites included in the pilot project for true enterprise-wide access to and control of these operations.
At each site, the automation system will control the movement and track quantities of gasoline and other petroleum products from the pipeline, to and from trucks, rail cars and ships.
This project is part of the Petrom/OMV on-going effort to have a unified terminal automation solution across their installations in Central and Eastern Europe.
Petrom chose ABB for these sites because of their experienced project resources and ability to deliver, as well as state-of-the-art product technology and architecture in an established and proven system solution.
Other important factors included ease of system configuration and the ability to integrate with other systems within Petrom.
The first site is scheduled to start the commissioning phase in September 2007.
Petrom is Romania's largest oil and gas group with an annual refining capacity of 8 million tonnes.
It also owns 593 gasoline filling stations in Romania.
Petrom is 51% owned by OMV Group of Austria, the leading oil and gas group in Central Europe.
