System shows integrity
August 1st 2009 The latest version of ABB's System
800xA High Integrity safety system
(SIL 3 rated) is now operating on
StatoilHydro's massive Troll A
offshore gas production platform.
The system went live on 5th June and
will control emergency shut down
applications on the platform, located
70km off the coast of Norway.
The Troll A platform produces
about 75 million standard cubic
meters (scm) of natural gas per day,
plus 10,000 barrels per day of natural
gas liquid (NGL) condensates.
System 800xA High Integrity will
provide emergency shut down
applications, to protect the personnel
on the platform, processes and
production assets, as well as the
environment. At the same time, it is
integrated with the platform's ABB
automation systems to help Troll A to
run at peak efficiency, with minimal
interruptions. More articles from ABB Limited: |
