The new Yanmar "ECO Diesel" range of low NOx and fuel-efficient high performance marine engines has been developed incorporating an AMOT custom-designed self-actuating temperature control valve
Petronas was implementing a rejuvenation project for its Miri terminal and decided to use old water pumps from the fire station in a new facility at the terminal.
This comprised one motor and two diesel driven units and 15-year-old relay type local control panels which needed replacement.
Petra, working with AMOT, secured the turnkey contract with Petronas to relocate all three units, and supply and install the new control systems.
This included converting the motor unit to diesel and replacing all the LCPs and field instrumentation with new AMOT products, plus a full mechanical overhaul of engines and pumps.
For the control systems, AMOT supplied local control panels that were certified for Zone 2 installation, using the restricted breathing protection method.
Restricted breathing is a protection technique normally applied to small enclosures, but AMOT has successfully developed this capability for large control systems, thus enabling a more cost-effective solution than using flameproof or intrinsically safe protection.
Despite a very tight schedule of five months since the terminal rejuvenation was already underway, the project work was completed successfully in time.
This included an AMOT service engineer attending site for a three week period to supervise installation, complete commissioning and handover for the three units of new LCP and the field instrumentation. Request a free brochure from AMOT ...
