So, now it is 2017 and we see the oil price finally rising to levels that will encourage more confidence in our industry but it does rely on oil producers sticking to their promises and/or demand increasing, which is doubtful. Of course no-one in OPEC wants the prices to go too high since this will allow the US shale oil to flow again and so we still see a need to utilise good asset management methodologies by way of predictive maintenance etc. to lower life-cycle costs and that means more brownfield upgrade projects. We also need to share technical and procedural knowledge around the region and perhaps this is why Oman will now host an ISA Automation event like the ones we have seen in recent years in Qatar, Saudi and UAE. Indeed, by becoming part of the global ISA community, automation leaders and practitioners within, Oman will now benefit from access to global standards, education and technical forums that will all help to optimise the use of automation in industry. The exhibition and conference being held this month in Muscat is a perfect way to encourage knowledge sharing, not only between endusers and vendors, but also between end-users themselves. we have always felt that, due to the involvement in PDO by Shell, PDO have been one of the technological leaders in the region and events such as this will help to keep this reputation alive and keep Oman at the forefront of the automation industry in the region. We look forward to meeting you there. Kind regards,
Mo Loch President and CEO, DMS Global Director Industry Relations, International Society of Automation (ISA)

Kuwait to Partner on the Duqm Refinery Project Oman Oil Company’s plans for awarding the Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts for the Duqm refinery have fallen behind the schedule following IPIC’s withdrawal from the joint venture company owning the project. The joint venture company between OOC and IPIC, Duqm Refinery and Petrochemical Industries Company (DRPIC), was founded in 2012. It is understood that the new direction of the project to include petrochemicals did not fit with the Abu Dhabi-based International Petroleum Investment Company‘s investment strategy leading the company to terminating the investment agreements it signed earlier for the project. Yet, to help achieve its goals of securing investments for the proposed refinery and petrochemical complex, the state oil firm Oman Oil Company (OOC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kuwait Petroleum International (KOI), the international subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) to cooperate in the development of the 230,000 barrels per day capacity grassroots refinery that is planned to be located in Duqm, central-eastern of the Sultanate of Oman. The Oman Oil company asserted that the Duqm Refinery is part of vast industrial zone, dubbed Duqm Special Economic Zone, that is announced as the Sultanate's biggest single economic project and is in alignment with the Sultanate’s vision to diversify its economy away from oil and gas production. The State of Kuwait believes that its investment will help in achieving KPC’s agendas of investing in strategic international markets, as well as contribute in building strong economic ties between Oman and Kuwait. The refinery will be built with an investment

estimated at $6 billion to be divided on 2 EPC contracts. The larger EPC contract consists of all the equipment and structures required to process the crude oil, while the second contract comprises the associated facilities, offsites utilities, tankage and civil buildings. In November 2015, seven pre-qualified applicants, comprising of joint ventures, alliances, and sole entities totaling to 15 international companies were invited to bid for 2 EPC contracts. The joint venture that eventually bid for the contracts includes CB&I BV/CTCI Corp JV, Daelim Industrial Co./ Hyundai E&C / Hyundai Engineering Co. JV, JGC Corp / GS E&C Corp. / Saipem JV, Petrofac / Samsung Engineering Co / Chiyoda Corp JV and TR / Daewoo E&C Co. JV. The awarding of both the contracts is expected to take place during the first quarter of 2017, however, no preferred group has been announced yet. Galfar Engineering & Contracting completed the site preparation work in mid-2016, while the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) was completed by Foster Wheeler in late 2015. France’s Technip is the Project Management consultant. Duqm Petroleum Terminal Company (DPTC) will build a Liquid Jetty to handle ships bringing in crude for processing, and carrying refined fuels and petrochemicals for export markets. Natural gas for the utilities necessary to operate the plant will be supplied via a pipeline that Oman Gas Company (OGC) is laying from Saih Nihayda in central Oman to the Duqm SEZ. Petrojet has recently been awarded a construction contract for the pipeline. Central Utilities Company (CUC) or Marafiq will develop and operate Seawater Intake facilities associated to the refinery.

The highly automated facility attached to the terminal will provide real time information to customers using Electronic Data Interface. State of the art facilities available for storage and distribution of liquid as well as dry bulk can capture high loading / unloading rates, ensuring quick turnaround time. The services that will be offered by the terminal will include tank storage for oil and petrochemical products, dry bulk storage for Pet Coke and Sulphur, receiving product by pipeline, ship to ship transfers, additive injection, blending & circulation, measuring & sampling and shipping documentation. This will be supported by the marine infrastructure represented by five deepwater jetties capable of handling full range of liquid vessels, a deep-water jetty for dry bulk cargo capable and a draft alongside 18 metres. In February 2015, the Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (SEZAD), on behalf of DPTC, started the prequalification stage for the DesignBuild contract to build the develop the terminal. Few weeks later, SEZAD announced that it has revised the implementation plans for the terminal project as one DB package and the project will
be rather split into two packages: Package 1 is to include the dredging and reclamation, marine/ jetty structure and a quay wall extending up to 3 kilometers, while Package 2 is for Topside Facilities including Tanks, dry bulk handling facilities, loading and unloading facilities, civil buildings and the associated utilities. SEZAD invited the prequalified firms in November 2015 to bid for the EPC contract of Package 1 and received proposals in mid-June 2016. The $422 million EPC contract was awarded to Royal Boskalis Westminster in mid-January 2017. Package 2 EPC tender announcement date is set for January. DPTC will finance Package 2, while package 1 is to be funded by SEZAD. The strategic location and dedicated deepwater berths will make the terminal an ideal hub connection in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and East Africa.

Function Head of Control and Automation Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) President ISA Oman
Dear Friends and Colleagues, The International Society of Automation (ISA) is a not-for-profit professional association that sets the standard for those who apply engineering and technology to improve the management, safety and cybersecurity of modern automation and control systems used across industry and critical infrastructure. Founded in 1945, ISA develops widely used global standards, certifies industry professionals, provides education and training, publishes books and technical articles, hosts and provides networking and career development programs for its 40,000 members and 400,000 customers around the world. The larger the society, the larger the benefits and so it is important that ISA increases its presence within countries that are heavily involved in industry that uses automation. By becoming part of the global ISA community automation leaders and practitioners within a country will benefit from access to global standards, education and technical forums that will all help to optimise the use of automation in industry. Local ISA sections host a number of technical seminars/meetings and dinners that are sponsored by instrumentation and automation vendors keen to share their knowledge and technologies to the benefit of both members and vendors. ISA also hosts conferences and exhibitions. Many industry/trade shows, especially in Oil and Gas, are aimed at the technologies that are not relevant to automation whilst ISA’s conferences and exhibitions are focussed on this and nothing else. There are also the training courses that will benefit members. There are options for computer-based training but also for instructor-led training where the instructor can come to the members or where members go to the instructor or, if membership can support it, ISA training centres can be set-up within a country. Automation | January 2017

Defining the Automation Profession By Eric C. Cosman Keywords Process Automation, Competency, Competency Models, Cybersecurity Overview Automation professionals typically come from the chemical, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering disciplines. Regardless of their backgrounds, similar skills and competencies are required. However, these competencies are evolving in the face of changing technology and automation professionals may find it difficult to move from one industry to another because of different perceptions and the lack of common definitions and expectations.

The importance and contribution of automation as a profession is often not well understood or appreciated. The automation profession must increase its efforts to reach out to and engage stakeholders to raise awareness of the importance of automation and the contributions of the profession.
While the automation profession can be both highly engaging and offers excellent opportunities, technical graduates today tend to be attracted to other, more glamourous-appearing industries. As a result, the automation profession must increase its efforts to reach out to and engage stakeholders in industry, academia, and the public to raise awareness of the importance of automation and the contributions of the profession. Representatives from the Automation Federation and partner organizations conducted a workshop at the 20th annual ARC Industry Forum in Orlando to highlight recent developments and accomplishments in this area. These include developing competency models for automation and cybersecurity that can be used as tools to develop the next generation of automation and engineering professionals. The National Consortium for Mission Critical Operations (NCMCO) has developed a curriculum that prepares graduates for employment in a wide range of positions in information technology (IT), operations technology (OT), and maintenance. In the academic world, the objectives of the American Association of Community Colleges include developing common terminology related
Although automation is a well-established recognized area of expertise, it has never risen to the level of a separate engineering discipline. The specific competencies expected and required are largely the same across different industries. The competencies expected of automation professionals are evolving in the face of changing technology. For example, the increased use of general-purpose information technology (IT) components has resulted in the need for new configuration and support skills, as well as the tools and techniques required to address automation system security. Competencies overlap to some degree with other expertise areas such as information technology design and operations and cybersecurity. The result is that the importance and contribution of automation as a profession are often not well understood or appreciated, leading to challenges in recruitment and career development. Automation professionals may find it difficult to move from one industry to another because of different perceptions and the lack of common definitions and expectations. To improve this situation, the automation profession must increase its efforts to reach out to and engage stakeholders in industry, academia, and the public to raise awareness of the importance of automation and the contributions of the profession. Defining the Profession The Automation Federation is addressing this challenge by working with organizations and other initiatives in the public and private sector to develop a clearer definition of the automation profession
Automation Federation Workshop Representatives from the Automation Federation and partner organizations conducted a workshop at the 20th annual ARC Industry Forum to highlight recent developments and accomplishments in this area. The workshop included presentations on several related topics. Competency Models Identifying automation-related competencies is essential in defining the profession. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a general framework that can be used to develop competency models for use in specific areas. The Automation Federation is working with partners to develop competency models, certificates and other tools to define the needs and skills of automation professionals. These models are formal documents that clearly define what a person needs to know and be able to do to perform well in an occupation—the knowledge, skills, and abilities required. They are developed through research and industry validation; and, once completed, are promoted, maintained, and updated. The

The global demand for skilled and experienced automation professionals continues to grow across most industry sectors. In the process industries, these professionals typically come from the chemical or industrial engineering disciplines, while other industries may call on electrical or mechanical engineers. Regardless of the source discipline or disciplines, similar skills and competencies are required.
The Automation Federation has defined automation as “the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services.� Applying this definition, the automation profession includes everyone involved in creating and applying technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services; and the automation professional is any individual involved in creating and applying technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services. In a related effort, the Automation Federation has developed a set of resources that are available to those interested in contributing to and promoting the profession.

industry experts and representatives from the US Department of Labor to develop a competency model for Automation that serves as a pathway for building the next generation of automation and engineering professionals. Recognizing that maintaining automation systems safety and security is part of the responsibilities of the automation professional, this model also includes elements related to process safety and cybersecurity. The content of the model is based on a variety of sources, including the Guide to the Automation Body of Knowledge from ISA, licensing requirements for professional engineers, and various professional certificates. The academic community, industry, and government are using this tool to address this critical shortage of trained professionals. The Automation Federation and the US Department of Labor have developed formal competency models for use by industrial automation professionals While process safety has been a discipline in its own right for some time, increased attention to industrial system security is driving changes to the skills and competencies required in industrial automation. There is a growing realization that processes that have not been made secure from a cybersecurity perspective may also be potentially unsafe. This provides much of the imperative for improvements in industrial cybersecurity.
Automation | January 2017

Industrial automation cybersecurity has also become a significant issue over the past several years. While the automation competency model contains some pertinent elements, a separate competency model is devoted entirely to cybersecurity. The Automation Federation has contributed enhancements to this model to help differentiate between the needs for operations and business systems. Operations or automation systems employ different communications protocols and are subject to different drivers. Associated Activities The workshop speakers also described several other related initiatives and activities. The National Consortium for Mission Critical
Operations (NCMCO) provides mission-critical job skills training to the nation’s workforce. Its approach is to collaborate with business and industry groups such as ISA and the Automation Federation to ensure a demand-driven approach to educational offerings. The consortium’s goal is to develop an associate’s degree in mission-critical operations as a first step towards a bachelor’s degree. Its Mission Critical Operations curriculum prepares graduates for employment in a wide range of positions in information technology, operations technology, and maintenance. The National Consortium for Mission Critical Operations (NCMCO) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) are also addressing the need for improved training and career development in the automation profession. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) represents approximately 1800 community colleges in the US. The association is focused on program initiatives for workforce planning and development in a variety of expertise areas, including automation and cybersecurity. The Lumina Foundation has funded one such initiative. Its objectives include developing common terminology related to certification and new methods for approaching prospective employers. Recommendations Based on ARC research and analysis, we recommend the following actions for owneroperators and other technology users: •
Consider using the available formal competency models as tools to support development of careers in automation and cybersecurity
•
Investigate available certificates to help confirm professional competency in these areas
•
Collaborate with academic institutions and peer organizations to define needs and suitable curricula

The objective of this article is to give an audience of primarily process design engineers a detailed view of the problem areas relating to a typical slate of process analyzers found in a large grass roots project. The examples are mostly related to gas processing, and sulfur recovery unit operations familiar to this group. There are many specialty sub‐suppliers to the sulfur recovery and gas processing industry and many of them display and present materials at conferences

The market figures are based on all industries and by far the chemical process industries (CPI) dominate, accounting for ~70% of all process analyzer applications with utilities and pharmaceutical sharing the balance. Considering only the CPI portion USD 2.85 billion is spent on maintenance, USD 1.75 billion on analyzers, USD 560 million on systems integration and USD 450 million on sample handling systems per annum.

It is difficult to have a perspective of the process analytical industry from the vantage of any one company or enterprise or even for the combined experience described above. In this regard it was fortunate to have access to a recent paper as well as a panel discussion from four highly regarded analytical professionals taking a self‐critical look at our industry. These two sources (the four resource companies and the technical review paper) were invaluable for describing trends and to point out the challenges as well as some of the self‐inflicted sins of our own profession.

There is a revolution in spectroscopy with multi‐component measurement capability competing with GCs. • Analyzers that are close‐coupled to the process (“by‐line”) requiring very little integration are becoming common. Size and weight matter. The “New Sample System Initiative” (NeSSI) allowing for smart sample systems, smaller footprint has gained a modest market acceptance.

uneconomical to supply a shelter for only 1 or 2 analyzers. One third of all analyzer systems are over‐ designed; one third is under‐designed; perhaps one third is adequate. Sample systems are not optimized for the analytical technology or process application. Many sample system components are still not “fit for purpose. It is difficult and expensive to design analytical systems to meet multi‐national hazardous area requirements, global harmonization would be welcome. Most process analyzers are not required for process control but are used for process automation. The full capability and features of a process analyzer are rarely utilized, for example; overrange measurement, COS and CS2 in tail gas, COS in TGTU absorber off‐gas, combustibles in fired heaters (with O2 measurement) as well as ethernet and web enabled communications which have safety benefits.
3) The Seven Deadly Sins of Process Analyzer Applications 3.1) Lack of Knowledgeable Analyzer Engineers at the FEED and EPC Stages A problem in the process analyzer industry is the amount of time it takes to acquire an adequate engineering skill set to be able to address the wide variety of disciplines involved in a typical project. The majority of the qualified analyzer engineers are employed at the systems integration level and relatively few at the EPC and practically none at the front end engineering design (FEED) level. Some examples of how this impacts a project; •
It is hard to buy a bad analyzer, as long as it is properly specified for the stream conditions. It is hard to buy a bad analyzer system, as long as project teams incorporate the design requirements necessary to make the systems work. • The price of the shelter and HVAC now dominate the price of the analyzer system. It is
From the perspective of the system integrator, a key point is that all drawings and documentation have to be approved by EPC engineers. It can at times be beyond their capability and the SI vendor needs to get these items in place at site. In addition, it becomes very difficult to manage the analyzer scope because many of the tie‐in points fall into other disciplines, many types of engineering are required at the EPC level and not all of them are familiar with analyzers. Instrument data sheets that are out of date: It is not uncommon to see instrument data sheets that are dated 10 years or more with

•
If analyzer engineers had to pick one single problem area that is universal it would be piping design. It is not so much that mistakes are made, it is that they are most always impossible to correct or remedy after the fact. Piping design is done well in advance and most often construction completed by the time an analyzer specialist recognizes a problem. Not to trivialize the issue but every AIT (Analyzer‐Indicator‐ Transmitter) looks the same to a piping engineer when in reality a pH measurement is quite different from a close‐ coupled “by‐line” analyzer, is different from a gas chromatograph in a house.
Process Analyzers
•
only minor revisions in between. The result is typically a change order at the detailed engineering phase by the system integrator and in fact many SIs recognize this at the quote stage but prefer to take advantage of it in post order. No provision for recent advances in the field of process analytics. Related to the above, the temptation to define a measurement using a single analytical principle, Gas Chromatography being an example. The process GC is quite simply over applied as a default especially when a GC vendor is doing the SI. It is accepted in the industry that competition amongst analyzer vendors has encouraged technology advances, led to improved performance and cost improvements.2 New technologies with a proven track record still get passed over because it was not used in the last project ten years prior. In defense of the above, the analyzer industry does not provide sufficient information to evaluate the performance of different technologies for different applications. Relative to spending on DCS and discrete devices there are proportionally many more instrument and DCS engineers than analyzer engineers at the EPC level. Critical evaluation of sample system design for specific applications is lacking. Most sample systems are designed based on duplicating previous projects with new features added haphazardly.
A list of problem areas; • Process piping design is not optimized for analyzer system installation. Standardized sample tap designs have not been developed for analyzers in a similar fashion as standard designs for temperature, pressure, flow and level transmitters. • Although the proper location of analyzer sample taps on process piping is generally understood, standardized practices for selecting these locations are not widely published or used. • Access to analyzer sample taps is usually problematic. • And the question remains, how do we establish standard practices and design specifications for process analyzers so that they are implemented properly by process instrumentation and piping designers?
The Cost: •

The Cost: • Mostly minor. The price paid is usually in terms of a compromised location that has to be lived with for the life cycle of the analyzer, possible HS&E implications. The Remedy: • Review by an experienced analyzer engineer at the early stages of the FEED and then again at the detailed engineering phase. • Bring in specific vendors to solicit their views and list of best practices.

3.3) Award of the Systems Integration Contract, Compromises at an Early Stage It is the opinion of the authors that a great deal more of the basic and detailed design decisions are left to the responsibility of the analyzer system integrator than with any other technical component in a project. The main reason is there are insufficient analyzer engineering resources at the FEED and EPC level to exercise full oversight.
•
As noted elsewhere in this paper, many large gas processing and olefins projects are GC centric and for that reason only the major GC manufacturers are able to competitively bid. If the only tool you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail. Nearly all analyzer projects are lump‐sum fixed‐ price and are the general rule in the industry. Margins have been tightened and there are more vendors chasing fewer dollars. It is an environment where: •

The Systems Integrator looks to supplement their revenue stream in the form of change orders, extending the hand over period or facilitating a maintenance contract for long term maintenance. The reluctance of the systems integrator to purchase specialized sample handling from the analyzer vendor. A recent example in the Gulf region where the SI was adamant to supply their own heat traced lines for SRU tail gas. Their lines were not capable of the 155o C heat duty for SRU tail gas and plugged. The SI prevaricated for eight weeks, left the site and it took six weeks to get the correct lines installed. The Superclaus® SRU was without a tail gas analyzer for 14 weeks and the SI was out of pocket for the correct sample lines. It is an obvious economic and sales driven decision for the systems integrator to try and increase the portion of SI work as cost adders

to their project (vs. value added by the analyzer vendor) once they commence. Competition among SIs on integration work is very keen and with lower margins. The industry trend is to make the design of the sampling system, HVAC and communication systems complex to increase the balance of “manufactured” items within the integration portion. The result is then to overkill the sampling system and over‐design certain portions to “grow” the margins. When the EPC is awarded and the budget gone the EPC team sacrifices good analyzers for an oversized HVAC. There have been many situations of the SI buying cheap analyzers, poorly installed but delivered in shelters with +/‐ 1 °C ambient, 60 to 70 % RH which is triple costs vs. a +/‐ 2 °C, 50 to 80 % RH. Also, typically the GC vendor is part of a large field instrumentation group and they have conflicting communications protocols. If field instruments are chosen with X protocol it has a direct influence on the selection of the GC vendor. Hence the SI may not provide the best specific analyzers since they need to communicate through a protocol (closed architecture) instead of some minor work required to do the gateway to a standard open protocol. The analyzer selection process then becomes a victim of the sales strategy from the instrumentation vendor. The situation has to be lived with it but sometimes creates issues that are pushing to select the wrong or inappropriate analyzer. Commercial considerations pushes the selection of specific closed protocols while the analyzer world outside of GC calls for a generic protocol much better served by niche market suppliers. The reluctance of the systems integrator to retain the analyzer vendor for start up and training of end user personnel and check the analyzer has been properly done.
The Cost: • Sometimes significant, 20% or more of the contract in terms of change orders. • Sometimes benign, an example being an SI who inserts themselves deeply into the project with a no bid perpetual maintenance contract in mind. • A USD 12 million analyzer project that requires significant changes after handover The Remedy: • Independent advice from outside resources or
The most critical time in the life of a process analyzer is start‐up. It is not logged or otherwise measured but the confidence level in an analyzer is determined by the operators and they are the final judge. If the first weeks and months go poorly the road back is long and hard. It has been our direct experience that ~30% of all tail gas analyzers are not placed in closed loop control, maybe fully functioning but not in cascade control. The major reason is lack of trust in (reliability of ) the measurement.
Following are the metrics used by a major oil company based on a three‐year statistical study of over 10 refineries, oil & gas and sulfur recovery plant complexes. The users derive the following lessons and rationalize their staffing levels based on; • As previously noted not all analyzers are the same. For this study they are scaled 1‐15 in complexity. Categories 1‐7 being relatively simple can be learned with on the job training, categories 8‐15 are more complex and factory training is essential. •
Surprisingly a simple analyzer does not require much more time for preventative maintenance vs. the more complex but the skill set is much more demanding. If the analyzer maintenance team is not staffed to these levels, failure is assured. If a tail gas analyzer is taking much more than 4 hours per month to maintain something is wrong at the sample point, treat the disease not the symptom.
The analyzer industry is short‐handed at all levels, the lack of experienced analyzer engineers has been noted and the major reason is there is no • specific academic path. Professionals are barely at the journeyman level after ten years’ experience. • At the craft level it is a universal problem to adequately staff for the number of analyzer tags in a complex. Part of the problem is overwork of the existing staff discourages newcomers; there is no acknowledgement of the unique skill‐set required The Cost: nor is there adequate training. • Everything.

Inversely related to this is the surprising fact most tail gas analyzers are not connected to the digital communication network as almost all other analyzers are. Given the safety aspects and critical process need for this analyzer, it is a requirement. Current process analytical technology is becoming increasing difficult to maintain due to the high level of training required and lack of highly skilled personnel. Dedicated process analyzer training programs are needed.

Other analyzers utilize span filters or on‐board validation resources that are traceable to National Bureau of Standards values and can be used as the reference method. Other analyzers, FTIR for example require a library data base in order to model the analysis. No two detection principles are the same.

The Cost: • The driving force behind longer sample transport distances is the cost savings realized in consolidating several analyzers into one central location, the analyzer house. The saving is a false economy if the measurement is compromised by the transport time. There is more than just a transport volume calculation to consider, there are the surface effects to consider as well.

Add-On Profiles (AOPs) and Add-On Instructions (AOIs), you can get the information flowing quickly. How Gateways Help Increasing energy efficiency has become an objective for many companies, and its importance likely will rise even more in the next few years. Monitoring and coordinating building automation systems with your operation’s production needs might seem daunting, but gateways communicating the BACnet, LonWorks, or Metasys protocols can help get the information directly into your Rockwell Automation PAC. You may be wondering how those protocols communicate with a PLC. An EtherNet/IP™ gateway can connect those devices to your Rockwell Automation controller. This allows the collected data regarding energy usage to be sent from the device to the PLC, which can centralize the data before sending it to the enterprise level. There, the information can be analyzed and acted upon. You could then program the PLC to coordinate the systems to increase energy efficiency. This type of automatic analysis helps a company reduce its carbon footprint and increase its profit margin.

data from devices all over your operations. Getting that data to where it’s needed using traditional hardwired networks can be cost prohibitive. Industrial wireless Ethernet radios can help get the data needed when you need it cost-effectively. If devices are moving between access points, 802.11n radios with ultra-fast roaming will help deliver that critical I/O data with no measurable interruption. Extending your Connected Enterprise with radios that support an EtherNet/IP-embedded object allows OT and IT personnel to work together to solve wireless network issues, such as an unauthorized vehicle blocking your wireless signal. OT personnel can identify the specific radio having the problem, and direct the IT person to it. When they’re able to troubleshoot problems with a quick turnaround, you can avoid extended downtime and increase productivity and profit margin. Access Data Anywhere Getting the right data to the right person could be a challenge if that person is in a coffee shop in Seattle, and the data is in a PLC halfway across the world. While that person could hop on a plane each time there’s an issue, a better option is to use a cellular solution that supports cloud services. However, that option requires the person to remember the remote control system’s IP address. What if you could use your EtherNet/IP driver in RSLinx® and do an RSWho browse of your remote network? You wouldn’t need to try to recall IP addresses, because they’d show up in your browser automatically. Essentially, your remote PC would be working as if it were plugged into the remote Ethernet switch.
The good news is that a phased modernization approach allows updates on your timetable, minimizing scheduled downtime. By upgrading parts of your system to EtherNet/IP devices, you can take advantage of the additional data these devices provide. This data could be used to help This type of technology is at your fingertips using develop a predictive maintenance schedule. a secure, cloud-native platform.

Orpic - Liwa Plastics Industries Complex - Steam Cracker
Project background The Liwa Plastics Project includes 3 parts: - Upstream: Gas extraction plant located at Fahud - Midstream: 280 kilometers gas export pipeline from Fahud to Sohar - Downstream: Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) The purpose of Liwa Plastics Project is to increase the production of plastics will from the current 200,000 tonnes per year (t/y) to 1.4 million t/y by 2019. The existing Sohar refinery is treating 116,000 barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil with propylene output 40% too short to feed the current polypropylene unit. With the Sohar Refinery Improvement Project ORPIC will increase the refinery capacity to 176,000 b/d in order to produce more transportation fuels and to increase the feedstock available for the Liwa Plastics project. ORPIC plans to adopt the mixed steam cracker technology in order to accept ethane, natural gas liquids (NGL), mixed liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and other condensate as feedstock (will be supplied by OGC’s LPG and NGL Extraction Plants). The project will use both natural gas products from Sohar refinery to produce high density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene (PP).

Several institutions have lent their assistance to C2C, including auditor KPMG.
