关于客户
Sinopec Hainan Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd, is a subsidiary of Sinopec, one of China’s largest energy and chemical companies. It operates 17 sets of oil refining and petrochemical production units. The company is located in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone in the northwestern part of the Hainan Province. In 2003, they embarked on their new refinery project, which was commissioned and put into operation in 2006. The petroleum products it produces are sold to the mainland and widely exported around Southeast Asia.
挑战
Sinopec Hainan Petrochemical needed to digitize its processes to improve the plant’s operation and maintenance levels. Prior to that, projects often deployed control systems from different vendors which was not conducive to the efficient development, maintenance, management, and upgrade of the systems, and made digital operation and maintenance scenarios, such as centralized monitoring of all field data, seem out of reach. Nowadays, cost along with operational and maintenance considerations have led companies to prefer integrated bidding for joint installations. This was the case with Hainan Refining & Chemical and the reason that they looked for a main automation system supplier with strong engineering capabilities and a complete DCS, supported by a safety system.
解决方案
Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure for Oil, Gas & Petrochemical architecture enabled safe, reliable, stable, and efficient operation and production at the plant, but its complete automation system also lays a solid foundation for future digital transformation and upgrades. The solution included a complete set of EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS I/A, EcoStruxure Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS), fire alarm and gas detection system, and compressor control system (TMC). The SIS provides continuous safety interlocking and protection for key units in the plant, performs process monitoring, and stops safely when necessary. The fire alarm and gas detection system addresses the ever present threat of fire and toxic, highly flammable gas. It also provides a critical emergency shutdown function. In addition to software and hardware solutions, Schneider Electric also served as the main automation supplier, providing Hainan Refining & Chemical with turnkey engineering services covering system integration, project management and execution, third-party procurement, and expert technical support.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
