PORI, Finland, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced it will provide its
Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) automation
controls and tank gauging systems for Finland's first liquefied natural gas (LNG)
import terminal to efficiently supply natural gas to marine vessels
and industrial facilities in Finland, helping to replace other fuels that
have higher emissions.
The cleaner-burning natural gas will help these vessels and
facilities meet emissions regulations in the Baltic Sea and
Nordics. Honeywell technology is currently being used in about 40
similar LNG import and export terminals around the world.
Additionally, Honeywell's Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI)
will connect and power comfort, safety and security systems within
the terminal itself, creating a productive environment for workers.
With tight integration between Experion PKS and EBI, operators will
have one interface to access and manage all process and facility
technology, which improves site-wide visibility and efficiency.
"Honeywell's technologies offer Skangas Oy an all-in-one
solution that will help make their new facility efficient and
productive from day one," said Pieter Krynauw, vice president and
general manager of Honeywell Process Solutions' Projects and
Automation Solutions business unit. "This fully integrated
technology will help the terminal maximize its operations with
accurate and on time information, precise measuring technologies,
safety and security."
This will be the third LNG terminal for Skangas, one of the
largest suppliers of small-scale LNG in the Nordic countries. The
company operates similar facilities in Sweden and Norway to provide customers with natural gas
for shipping, industrial and heavy-duty land transport needs. The
Pori LNG terminal will have a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters and
will be completed in the second half of 2016. Honeywell's tank
gauging systems will be used on tanks provided through the Spanish
engineering company FCC Industrial E. Infraestructuras Energeticas
S.A.U.
"Demand for LNG in Finland
continues to rise for industrial, shipping and heavy-duty land
transport companies," said Tommy
Mattila, Sales and Marketing director, Skangas. "It is
critical that this terminal operates at the highest level of
efficiency."
Honeywell technologies that will be used at the facility
include:
- Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS), the heart
of the Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS), which offers
more than traditional distributed control systems (DCS) by unifying
people with process, business requirements and asset management by
enabling integration of all process control, safety systems and
automation software.
- Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) is a building management
system that provides a single point of access to information and
resources that help monitor, control and protect a facility. EBI
will connect fire detection, intrusion detection, access control,
video surveillance, and heating and cooling equipment at the new
Skangas Oy terminal, and seamlessly share data with Experion
PKS.
- Terminal Manager automates all operations at a bulk liquid
terminal, including key monitoring and controlling functions such
as product receipt, gate access control and loading.
- Safety Manager integrates process safety data, applications,
system diagnostics and critical control strategies, and executes
defined safety applications in a fully redundant architecture.
- SmartRadar FlexLine is one of Honeywell's portfolio of high-end
radar tank gauges for the assessment of tank contents, tank
inventory control and tank farm management.
- Portable Enraf Terminal is a portable device that enables
access and reading of Honeywell Enraf tank gauges regardless of
weather or operating conditions.
