ISTANBUL, Turkey, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) Process Solutions (HPS) announced it will provide an
integrated control and safety system for the strategically
important Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) in
Turkey.
The system will ensure reliable and safe operations of
compressor stations along the entire length of the pipeline. The
Southern Gas Corridor is a critical part of the European Union's
strategy to enhance its energy security. The TANAP system will be
able to transport up to 31 billion cubic meters per year of
Caspian and nearby regions'
natural gas.
"Honeywell has a long history of working with critical energy
projects in Turkey," said
Orhan Genis, president of Honeywell
in Turkey and Central Asia. "This important project will
help to secure a supply of natural gas not only to this country but
across Europe."
The 1,850-kilometer long TANAP will carry natural gas from
Turkey's eastern border with
Georgia to its western border with
Greece. According to Eurogas,
demand for natural gas in Europe
will grow at about 2 percent a year through 2030.
"Honeywell's integrated solutions will enable TANAP to detect
and resolve operational issues early, enhancing reliability for
this important project," said Pieter Krynauw, vice president and
general manager for HPS' Projects and Automation Solutions
business. "Honeywell provides automation controls and safety
solutions for almost 94,000 miles of natural gas and liquid
pipelines, including many of the world's longest systems."
Honeywell will provide the project with fully integrated control
and safety solution products, technology, engineering and support.
It includes the distributed control system (DCS), emergency
shutdown system (ESD), and an extensive fire and gas solution
consisting of safety systems, fire alarm panels, and a full range
of process and non-process area detectors and devices).
Honeywell's system integrates all process control and safety
systems and automation software under a single unified architecture
at TANAP Stations. The system improves operators' visibility and
situational awareness to detect, avoid and respond to incidents
that could endanger people, the pipeline or the environment. It
will also help TANAP provide uninterrupted supply through the
pipeline.
The TANAP project employs some of Honeywell's leading
technologies:
- Experion® PKS (Process Knowledge System) advanced
automation platform and software applications help improve business
performance and peace of mind. Drawing on data from across the
pipeline, Experion PKS helps operators make fast effective
decisions to improve safety, reliability and efficiency.
- Safety Manager, Honeywell's safety solution, integrates process
safety data, applications, system diagnostics and critical control
strategies to detect and prevent dangerous conditions. As well as
automatic, safe emergency shutdown, Safety Manager will also give
TANAP tools for root-cause analysis to drive improved system
performance.
- The XLS80 Fire Alarm Control Panel with an intelligent,
flexible design and a user friendly interface for the highest
safety standards and reliability.
