The control system will consist of an integrated distributed control, emergency shutdown, operations data management and enterprise asset management solution.
We are pleased to be working with Invensys for this project," said John Priest, of Simon Carves.
Through the contract, Invensys will provide an InFusion Operations Data Management System (ODS), Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system, Triconex emergency shutdown, and an Avantis integrated asset management system.
The contract also includes provision of the open source PACTware user interface, which will enable PTT engineers to configure, commission, and manage all major intelligent field device communications protocols, including HART, Profibus, and Foundation fieldbus.
Among the factors contributing to the PTT decision to implement the InFusion system were the Invensys ability to integrate its products tightly and cost-effectively, the promise of a single point of responsibility for integrated project management, and overall reduced risk in project delivery.
The new plant will be located at the PTT PE existing complex in Map-Ta-Phut as part of its cracker complex.
It will incorporate Basell Lupotech technology.

The new plant is due on-stream in the first quarter of 2010, using ethylene supplied from the adjacent PTT PE ethane cracker plant as its raw material.
