Dear DMS Members, This edition of the AutomationINSIGHT! will therefore be tailored to process analytics in support of the 1st ISA Analysis UAE Symposium being held at Le Royal Meridien Hotel in Abu Dhabi on the 6th October with technical articles and editorials provided by the experts and vendors in this field. Hopefully readers will have visited the ISA UAE Conference & Exhibition in May earlier this year and benefitted as I did from insightful papers presented at the conference and networking with peers and manufacturers in the exhibition. This event was held on behalf of the automation community in UAE and the wider GCC and covers many specific disciplines within automation but does not include process analysis. Analytics is a large subject in itself and many of the main automation system and instrument vendors including ABB have products that fall within the process analysis umbrella and so it is no surprise that we now have an event in the Middle East that focusses solely on this subject. The event itself will cover such things as process analysis technologies (old and new), environmental issues and installation best practices and will provide a great platform for future development of this field in the Middle East. I hope we will see you there. Kind regards, Mo Loch President and CEO, DMS Global Regional Director Middle East – ISA Kind regards, Hugh Wingrove Editor-in-Chief DMS Global

There are currently 26 Gathering Centers processing Kuwait’s oil fields. They serve as a collection location for crude oil produced at several wells and they are connected via a network of flowlines. These Gathering Centers also provide the initial treatment of associated gases through a separation process. The three new Gathering Centers being constructed for the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) are a part of a long-term strategy to develop the oilfields of North Kuwait and increase the output of the region from 700,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) to 1 million BOPD by the year 2020.

GCC moves towards refining

Automation | OCTOBER 2016

The GCC countries are planning to grow their refining capacity by constructing new refineries as well as expanding and upgrading the existing refineries. It is estimated that the GCC would increase its gasoline capacity from 650,000 barrels a day (b/d) in 2012 to just over 1 million b/d by 2018 while diesel is expected to double from 1.1 million to close to 2 million b/d. Kerosene will rise by 170,000 b/d and fuel oil output will jump 400,000 b/d. The total refining capacity of the GCC is expected to reach over 3 million b/d by 2020. Saudi Arabia aims to become the world’s secondlargest exporter of refined products by 2017. In the past two years, the Kingdom has added 800,000 b/d of capacity domestically through two new refineries, Satorp and Yasref. The single largest refinery worldwide

that started its operations in 2013 was a joint venture of Saudi Aramco and Total which partnered for the 400,000 b/d refinery in Jubail. In Yanbu there will be a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sinopec which is designed for an operational capacity of 400,000 b/d targeting primarily ultra-low sulphur diesel and gasoline as final products. The upgrade of existing refineries to increase capacity is also a major priority. The cumulative investment required for the realization of these projects to 2018 is estimated at around $60 billion. The increasing focus on the refining sector will ultimately enable the GCC to be self-sufficient and also emerge as a strong player in the global market, particularly in Asia Pacific. However, the challenge would be in balancing the expanding refining capacity, meeting growing local demands, as well as maintaining exports. This would ultimately decide the region’s fate as a growing supplier of refined product globally.

While global upstream projects have faced delays amid falling oil prices, the GCC downstream sector is riding a wave of optimism based on cheaper feedstock and improving margins across Europe and Asia.

AMEC was awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the project which was completed in October 2012, and was also given the Project Management and Consultancy (PMC) contract for the three Gathering Centers. Companies were first invited to submit their bids to construct the Gathering Centers in Each of the facilities will be divided into 6 main process July 2013. After a delay, KOC awarded the EPC contracts systems: gas/ liquid separation, oil/ water separation, to three separate companies and officially signed the dehydration and desalting, tank gas compression & gas contracts with them in August 2014. handling, crude oil storage & transfer and effluent water treatment & handling. In order to support the main The contractors that won the bidding for the projects process systems the following facilities will also be built; were Petrofac (UK) for Gathering Center 29, Larsen & a test separation & storage unit, a chemical injection Toubro (India) for Gathering Center 30 and the Dodsal unit, a brackish water unit, a fuel gas unit, a flare gas unit, Group (UAE) for Gathering Center 31.

Though the GCC has long dominated the world market for crude oil exports, the region has only recently been focusing on and growing its refinery system. Most of the crude that Middle Eastern countries export out to refineries in Asia, Europe and the U.S. comes right back to the GCC in the form of gasoline, jet fuel and petrochemicals such as plastic. Despite the oil price slump since mid-2014, the case for refinery expansions in the region remains compelling. Much of the new production is expected to be consumed domestically.

project was designed to ensure that the oil product will meet the Kuwaiti export crude requirement, the water for export will flow to the central injection pumping facilities or disposal, and the gas output will be lowered to BS131 and/or BS132 for compression.

Alba moves forward with Line 6 expansion project

Qatar’s solar energy sector is one that faces steady development. With Qatar being geographically positioned to maximize the harnessing potential of solar energy, Qatar’s decision to capitalize on it is a vital step towards the future of Qatar’s energy security.

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) plans to boost their production capacity by 514,000 tonnes per annum, making it the world’s biggest smelter in a single site with over 1.45 million metric tonnes upon full ramp-up. Being one of the largest aluminium smelters in the world, Alba aims to continue their marketing strategy and maintain its core presence in the Gulf. Alba strongly believes that the development of the Line 6 expansion project will enable them to satisfy the current needs of their existing market and meet the growing international demand for aluminium. Alba’s aluminium facility can be considered as a key pillar to Bahrain’s economy and contributes roughly 10% to the national Gross Domestic Product.

Qatar Solar Technologies (QST) is a joint venture formed by Germany’s SolarWorld AG, Qatar Development Bank and Qatar Solar (A subsidiary, wholly owned by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development). It is also considered as one of the key solar technology suppliers for several of Qatar’s most iconic edifices, all the while offering high quality turnkey solutions for solar energy on any sized project. The following stake of each company is as follows: SolarWorld (Germany) 29% - Qatar Solar (Qatar) 70% Qatar Development Bank (Qatar) 1%. The Polysilicon Plant that Qatar Solar Technologies plans to build is to be established on 1.2 million square-meter plot located in Ras Laffan and is expected to produce highly purified polysilicon, with a grade of 99.99% purity, for utilization in the manufacturing of solar panels.

The expansion project involves adding a sixth production line and is estimated to cost about $3 billion and is slated for completion by early 2019. Earlier this year, Alba has selected Bechtel for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) contract for the additional potline in their existing

Bahrain continues to invest heavily in expanding its industrial sector, as the sector keeps on driving growth in the Kingdom. The project development shows no signs of slowing down; the Line 6 expansion is progressing according to schedule. During the first half of 2016, Alba has been in talks with commercial banks regarding loans that would be used to support the development of the project. Alba has appointed JP Morgan, Gulf International Bank and the National Bank of Bahrain as financial advisers for the project. In recent news, Alba has selected Siemens for the provision of Power Station 5’s Power Distribution System (PDS). The scope of the contract consists of engineering and design, procurement, construction and commissioning of the high voltage electrical network including distribution switchgears and transformers. The company will be providing modern Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) up to 220kV. Siemens has been chosen due to their highly competitive financial bid and renowned technological expertise.

By 2014, the constant challenges that arose would not take its toll on the project as it successfully continues its progression according to schedule. During this time, Arabian MEP Contracting was awarded the HVAC contract and is to provide all the necessary works until project completion. Originally scheduled for completion by the end of 2014, by 2016, construction works are still ongoing and faces its final stages as progress on the Polysilicon Plant slowed down during the economical downward slump in oil prices in 2015.

As the majority of the Alba workforce are Bahrainis, Alba hopes to provide more job opportunities for the locals with the development of this expansion project. Alba reckons that the Line 6 project will give a major boost to the country’s economy and lead to the development of local downstream industries.

The Polysilicon Plant will be a high-tech, modular plant will be manufactured in Europe, then reassembled together on site in Qatar. The plant is currently designed to fabricate 8000 tonnes per year of polysilicon while also leaving space for possible future expansions to

enable significant increase in production capacity. Hydrogen and nitrogen gases will be the primary source for the production of the polysilicon. In 2010, the aforementioned joint venture was formed as the signing of the J.V agreement took place. The German company, Centrotherm Photovoltaics, was also awarded the contract to supply the process technology and equipment. Under the contract, Centrotherm Photovoltaics will also be responsible for the engineering and project service of the Polysilicon Plant project. A year later, certain components of the project was scrapped and/or re-designed to fit the current economical standards of the energy sector which would eventually lead to Punj Lloyd winning the EPC contract, with the engineering work to follow shortly after.

equipment utilisation all contribute to the pressure of plants performing at the utmost standards when it comes to large-scale direct seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) production.

Seawater desalination is one of the most important methods of producing a reliable water supply near a population center beset with unfriendly climatic conditions and a challenging geographical location. In Phases 1 and 2, ABB executed the dismantling of the obsolete DCS (Desalination Classification System) as well as delivering work in the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, installation, and commissioning of new control systems and automation environment. For Phase 3, it was Wetico and Doosan who constructed the then-biggest 240,000 m3/day facility.

Suffice it to say that contractors will have an edge with the acquisition of the latest innovative technological advances in the design and implementation of soft computing methodologies for desalination processes. Utilising recent developments in intelligent control design approaches for the integration of computation, sensory information, human reasoning, and decision making is an absolute necessity to get ahead in the game for Jeddah 4.

The construction of a pipeline that connects Dayqah Dam to Deem Reservoir in Al Amerat is to be completed by early 2017 with more than 45% of the pipeline laid so far.. Egyptian Contractors and Partners LLC, a subsidiary of the state owned National Construction and Development Company won the pipeline’s construction contract in May 2014. In addition to the installation of a 50 kilometre water transmission line to supply treated water from the Dayqah Dam in Qurayat Wilayat to Deem Reservoir in Al Amerat Wilayat, the contract, which represents the first stage of the Wadi Dayqah Water Treatment and Conveyancing scheme, also includes the construction of a 10,000 cubic meters reservoir and a pumping station.

As of press time, SWCC reopens contract bidding to local and international developers to include financial options. SWCC has considered procuring Phase 4 under a BFT (Build, Finance, Transfer) agreement wherein the contractor would finance plant construction, commission it and operate it for a year but now have decided to tender the contract as a full IWP. Deadline has yet to be set.

Wadi Dayqah Water scheme, the first of its kind in the sultanate, will store rainwater in a surface reservoir, treat it and pump it into the water grid. The annual yield is planned to reach 35 million cubic metres. While around 15 million cubic metres per year of this volume is to be allocated for domestic and irrigation water supplies in Qurayat, 20 million cubic metres per year of the water will be supplied to Muscat.

The most likely prequalified contractors may include: ABB, Acciona, ACWA, Aqualia, Cadagua S.A., Degremont, Doosan, Hyflux, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Tedagua, Veolia, Wetico.

As part of the scheme, the Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW), will also build pipeline infrastructure that will supply potable water for irrigation and domestic use to consumers in Muscat, and a main water treatment plant at an estimated cost of $129.5 million.

Jeddah 4’s bid submissions have been constantly extended over the past two years as oil prices plummet. SWCC is now requiring contractors to include financial options in their proposals as they switch from an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) to an IWP (Independent Water Project) model to bring in private partnerships financing the capital costs. Addressing process control, cost optimisation and automation is an evident need during this time of intensive demand for fresh water production and supply at a reasonable cost. Increasing government regulations on environmental and labour protection (specially given the current labour market concerns in the Kingdom); rising costs of high quality water production, and high

Saline Water Conversion Complex’s (SWCC) latest initiative is the construction of the fourth phase of Jeddah’s Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant, aiming to boost supply capacity of up to 400,000 m3/day of water.

The plant will be able to process 125,000 million cubic metres per day of water that will be located three kilometres from the dam. Negotiations between PAEW and the preferred bidders for the Design, Build and Operate contract for the water plant was at its latest stages in late August, 2016. The name of the winning contractor will most likely be announced by PAEW by late September. The bidders include Degremont ME at $88 million, Galfar Engineering & Contracting at $111 million and $146 million, Metito (Overseas) at $157 million & Beijing Supower Technology $194 million. The project is being financed by a loan provided by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB). Other water treatment projects planned for Muscat includes a New Tankers Sewage Treatment Plant at Al Misfah and Almudhaibi Sewage Treatment Plant and Sewerage Network. Though evaluation of the EPC proposals for both projects have been concluded, Haya Water, the developer of the project is believed to have put both projects on hold due to financial issues.

The response of the ISA EMEA event last year in Abu Dhabi was overwhelming and this made us think about conducting a regional event which focuses on the end users and service providers locally in the UAE region. This led us to organize the first ISA UAE Conference and Exhibition this year and our decision to do so has proven to be spot on as the event was hugely successful. Gasco was our main sponsor for the event and several OEM’s and service providers participated in the event and several more came as visitors. Our speakers and tracks at the conference were extremely interesting and were well appreciated. Since then we have had very keen interests from several stakeholders inquiring about our next event. This in itself shows that our decision to host a UAE specific event has been appreciated and welcomed. What is the difference in size between the ISA Communities in Abu Dhabi and Northern Emirates? How do you plan to connect the two regions? The ISA communities in Abu Dhabi are predominantly the community from the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industry. Also, most of the members within ISA UAE are from Abu Dhabi. We are now encouraging members from all regions and from different industries to be part of the ISA family in the region. ISA as an organization promotes automation across various industries and we believe that all stakeholders who rely on automation for their process and productivity should be part of this community.

“The ISA EMEA (ISA Europe Middle East and Africa) conference and exhibition, as the name suggests, was more like a global event which is basically organised yearly in turns at various regions that the EMEA covers. The response of the ISA EMEA event last year in Abu Dhabi was overwhelming and this made us think about conducting a regional event which focuses on the end users and service providers locally in the UAE region. “

At ISA UAE we have plans to organize our next events in the Emirate of Dubai and these events would focus more on industries other than the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industry. Automation is a necessity and a requirement for all major industries across the globe and it would only be useful and beneficial to connect all these communities with each other which would surely result in the evolution of the automation sector in a better way.

The ISA UAE chapter has evolved over the past two years. One of the main achievements has been that we have conducted two major exhibitions and conferences in the last two years and have now decided to make this as a regular yearly event in the region. ISA UAE is also organizing an ISA Analyzers event on the 6th of October this year and this is also the first by ISA in the region.

The ISA EMEA (ISA Europe Middle East and Africa) conference and exhibition, as the name suggests, was more like a global event which is basically organised yearly in turns at various regions that the EMEA covers.

What does the future hold for the ISA UAE Chapter?

Similarly, we plan to bring more events in the other Emirates and also focus on various industries. To many in this industry automation is just not a profession but a passion and way of life. We want the ISA UAE community to expand and genuinely enjoy and celebrate the field of automation more than anything else. Does your regular work or business assist you to fulfill your position as the ISA chapter leader? I head a system integration and solution providing business called Telinstra. At Telinstra we provide a turnkey solution on automation systems to various industries in the region. This ranges right from conceptualization to design, development of software, manufacturing and assembly of systems , testing, commissioning and post contract supports. We face requirements and challenges from various end users and clients all the time and we are continuously thinking of improving on the solutions that we provide to them. Selecting the correct solution for the client and also meeting their budgets is always a challenge but that’s our business. To do this, we need to keep ourselves engaged with the automation market at all times and keep abreast with the latest technology and products available in the market. This definitely helps me with my position within ISA as ISA is also all about automation. Moreover, we cater to multiple industries and in each industry we look at multiple solutions. This is an advantage as my focus does not remain at a particular process in a particular industry and because of my business I have the advantage to explore various aspects within the automation industry. The only challenge this at times throws at me is the lack of time to sometimes focus on ISA work. ISA is a voluntary work and at times your normal business and its challenges take away your time and leave you with little time to focus on ISA work even though I try to compensate this in the evenings and weekends.

The most important aspect now is to find a system integrator and a solution provider who understands the objectives of a client and can device and develop a migration strategy that will allow a quick and easy migration from an older platform to a newer one. A system integrator with a right strategy and planning can make this happen with lower conversion times and lower engineering costs. It is also important for the integrator to plan a migration for its clients which fits his budgets and time frames.

Automation

Many control systems are thus entering the obsolescence phase of their lifecycle. Newer control systems are available from all of the major control system vendors. The migration from the older hardware, software and communication platforms to the newer state of the art equipment thus becomes necessary not only to keep up your productivity and efficiency and to be competitive in the market but the older platforms are losing technical support and can leave an asset holder with no solution for repair or replacement in case of a failure.

| OCTOBER 2016

This would spell nothing but a disaster to any manufacturing or process plants. However, the process of migration is not easy and can vary in the effort and expertise required to successfully handle the migration. The key to a successful migration is the ability of an engineering team to “decode” the obsolete platform and then “re-code” the configuration in the new platform. This requires engineering personnel who has in depth experience with both platforms.

would need to start planning the migration immediately.

It was recently announced that the Micrologix 1000 and 1500 product ranges from Rockwell Automation will no longer be available for sale from June 2017.

Like this there would be many other control systems which might be reaching their end of lifecycle and it is necessary for an owner to identify them and then take up an obsolescence migration solution from a competent authority.

These have been some of the most prolifically used platforms by many industries in the region for the past several years. However it seems that it is time for a change. Hence it is important for a client to identify if he owns any of these platforms and if he does then he

Life cycle for a product can be divided into four categories. Active: Most current offering within a product category. Active Mature: Product is fully supported, but a newer product exists. Gain value by migrating. End of Life: Discontinued date announced; actively execute migrations and last time buys. Discontinued: New product no longer manufactured/ procured; repair/exchange services may be available. It is very important for a user to maintain awareness of obsolescence and develop a strategy to mitigate and eliminate the corresponding risks. Such migrations are a necessary investment to any company which has dependence on their control and automation systems to produce their deliverables. An obsolescence migration is not an upgrade or modernization process but it is more like a disaster mitigation process.

| OCTOBER 2016

In this age of modern technology and with aggressive R&D by many manufacturing companies, newer technologies are being introduced and implemented on a regular scale.

It is thus important for any plant owner to get an audit done for his plant automation systems, get an asset list, evaluate the requirements of obsolescence migration and then implement the same without wasting more precious time.

As a result, organizations are benefiting from an accelerated ability to find challenges, identify the path to the solution and reduce downtime.

Beyond basic workflow automation, advanced process control technology can take operations to the next level”. Top Concerns of CFOs In a 2011 report titled “Operations Risk Management,” the Aberdeen Group cites findings from polls of CFOs in many industries. According to the study, the top issue facing operators is the need to maximize return on assets, followed closely by reducing asset life cycle costs and improving asset reliability.

However, moving the supervisory horizon and creating an environment where more people are collaborating around assets requires assurance of data integrity. Assurance comes in the form of a versioning system, but the complexity of the environments in which oil and gas companies operate means that manual version tracking is simply not a viable option. Automated change-management functionality helps prevent unauthorized changes and provides assurance that everyone is working from the same version of the truth. It independently archives the newest version using incremental version numbering, and saves the entire stream of changes. For oil and gas companies, this means an accelerated return to production. Open Access Uncovers Solutions With the operations management with cloud approach, operators, engineers, managers and executives all have access to dashboards in the cloud, creating a system of checks and balances that ensure no critical detail will be overlooked. An important alarm missed by an operator can be flagged by an engineer who has access to the same information. Production intelligence can pass through multiple sets of eyes, meaning that one person’s oversight doesn’t impact the entire operation. In addition, by diverting distracting information from on-site operators to off-site experts, operators can focus on dashboard information that’s critical for smooth onsite operation. Operators who once suffered from a sort of “paralysis by analysis” can focus on information they can act upon. By moving the supervisory horizon and using cloud

New Ways the Cloud Helps the Oil and Gas Industry

Edward M. Marszal, PE, is an ISA84 Expert and the President and CEO of Kenexis. Mr. Marszal has over twenty years of experience in risk analysis and the design and implementation of engineered safeguards, such as safety instrumented systems, relief systems, alarm systems, and fire and gas systems for the oil & gas industry globally.

Edward M. Marszal, PE The performance of optical fire detectors is generally defined by the test results that vendors perform using the FM 3260 test specification. FM 3260 graphical test results are often referred to as the “cone of vision” of the detector. A typical cone of vision drawing for an optical fire detector is presented below. This figure presents the area (shown in grey) where if a design basis fire (1 ft. x 1 ft. n-Heptane pan fire) were to be located, it would be “seen” (i.e., detected) by the fire detector.

Mr. Marszal began his career with UOP, a licensor of process units to the petroleum and petrochemical industries, where he performed field verification of control and safety instrumented systems at customer sites, and designed and managed development of custom control and SIS projects. After leaving UOP, Mr. Marszal led a number of risk analysis / engineered safeguard consulting teams culminating in the establishment of Kenexis. Mr. Marszal is committed to providing education on chemical process lossprevention. He is a prolific teacher, author, and lecturer.

The problem with using the FM 3260 results is that the performance presented determined in ideal laboratory conditions, whereas in a process plant there are conditions present that will act to attenuate, or reduce, the effective viewing distance. Accepted industry practice is to put these attenuating factors into three categories. • Attenuation due to reduction in sensitivity due to false stimuli (AF1) • Attenuation due to dirty optics (AF2) • Attenuation due to off-centerline view (AF3) Attenuating factors are defined as the actual distance a fire can be seen divided by the maximum viewing distance as shown in the equipment vendor’s FM3260 report. For instance, if a fire detector is capable of viewing a design basis fire at 100 meters in the FM 3260 test, but during field trials where there are many false stimuli sources the detector can actually only see the fire from 75 meters, then the attenuation factor for false stimuli is 75/100 or AF1 = 0.75. The attenuation factor for false stimuli is a factor that is related to the amount of background infrared radiation that has the effect of “poisoning” a detector’s ability of see an actual fire. This number is generally determined experimentally. Users should consult their equipment vendors for more information regarding quantifying this factor.

Automation | OCTOBER 2016

The attenuation factor that results from dirty optics is a function of the maximum loss of transmissivity through the lens due to foreign objects (dust, etc.) coating the lens. Sophisticated optical fire detectors automatically diagnose this condition and alarm. A heuristic for calculating the dirty-optics attenuation factor is to use the average between the 100% transmissivity of the clean lens and the transmissivity that is associated with a dirty optics alarm. For instance, if a company sets its dirty optics alarms at 70% transmissivity, then the dirtyoptics factor should be 100+70/100, or AF2=0.85. The last attenuation factor is the off-centerline view factor. If you consider the cone-of-vision drawing you will note that fires that are directly in front of the fire detector can be seen at 210 feet, but fires that are seen at a 45 degree angle can only be seen at 150 feet. If your FGS mapping software cannot account for different detection distance at different angles, you must

From an industrial cybersecurity perspective, these developments will increase the attack surface exponentially, along with number of threats that must be managed. This will also reduce the effectiveness of traditional strategies for managing vulnerabilities and intrusions. The proliferation of devices and users will rapidly make it impossible for organizations to track and manage software revisions and patches. Establishing security conduits and a single secure remote interface will also fall out of practice as this will not adequately support all these needs. Cellular communications will also add a whole new set of industrial cybersecurity challenges and strain the very idea of secure perimeters. ARC Advisory Group’s long-running research into industrial control systems (ICS) and ICS cybersecurity provides a unique vantage point for assessing the cybersecurity implications of the emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for industrial organizations, upstream and downstream alike. We have closely monitored the development and adoption of ICS cybersecurity standards and best practices and believe they are having a significant impact on the security of our plants and automation systems. But IIoT is disrupting key assumptions underlying these efforts. Recognizing and addressing this situation is essential. Business managers are already redesigning processes to exploit IIoT capabilities. ARC believes that it is naïve to expect that they will wait for security to be addressed be-fore implementing these capabilities; the cost and performance benefits are simply too large to ignore and competition will force rapid adoption.

Automation

Prudent ICS cybersecurity professionals appreciate the impact this will have on cybersecurity strategies and are looking for new guidelines. ARC believes that this should include: • •

| OCTOBER 2016

While security concerns will be acknowledged, history suggests that they will not be enough to limit this explosion in connectivity. Plant managers will support this need for boundary less access and automation suppliers will enable ubiquitous connectivity in their products to support remote service strategies. Once connectivity is built in, system designers will freely use it to integrate remote systems, devices, and applications.

An extension of the scope of industrial cybersecurity to include systems and remote devices outside plant perimeters A shift in the focus of security strategies from protecting systems to managing devices Transition from cybersecurity silos to integrated IT-OT cybersecurity strategies Embedding security-by-design principles throughout organizations and cyber asset supply chains

IIoT Disrupts Industrial Control System Designs

Cloud Computing

Most organizations understand that IIoT will change their operations and create new cybersecurity challenges. Many assume that this will only involve installing additional sensors in plants and enabling external access to the associated data.

Enterprise IT groups are rapidly adopting the Cloud as a platform for sharing information and managing applications across the enterprise. It enables access to resources anywhere, anytime and promotes efficiency and effectiveness through faster, more collaborative decision making. The Cloud provides a way to reduce applications, simplify IT maintenance, and im-prove security. It is also fundamental for many of the most popular IIoT uses cases, like remote maintenance.

But the most popular IIoT use cases require integrating multiple technology developments with traditional control systems. These include mobility, ubiquitous connectivity, cloud computing, and smart (IoT-enabled) devices. Each of these developments represents new challenges for plant cybersecurity teams.

Mobility and Ubiquitous Connectivity Enabling mobile devices within plants is already a key concern for many companies. Lack of control over mobile software and content make them as functionally insecure as public networks. Restricting use is as difficult as ever, particularly when external resources are needed to support plant is-sues. This situation is only going to get worse. Business managers recognize the enormous benefits of mobility and ubiquitous connectivity and are already redesigning processes to exploit these capabilities, both within and outside plant perimeters. In the future, plant managers, supervisors, and technicians will expect free access to control system information and the ability to intermix this information with information from external sources on the same device. For example, a technician troubleshooting a plant issue may require

Recent developments show that conservative ICS attitudes toward the Cloud are changing as well, particularly for supervisory applications and sharing plant data with partners. Suppliers of production management, MES, and historian applications already offer cloud solutions for both private and public clouds. While they are not hardware devices, cloud-based data stores and software applications should be considered “virtual” IIoT devices with associated challenges for ICS cybersecurity teams. Like ubiquitous connectivity, the large benefits of cloud solutions have be-come too attractive to ignore. These benefits include reduced CAPEX, faster deployment, lower maintenance costs, easier upgrades, and better collaboration. The proliferation of large, reliable data centers has also reduced many of the initial concerns. The security impact of the Cloud differs from that of ubiquitous connectivity. Mobility and ubiquitous connectivity bring the external world into the plant;

Internet of Things Devices There is plenty of hype surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT). But this isn’t just another futuristic fad. Industrial companies already recognize the potential benefits of IoT in their commercial activities and are developing IIoT strategies that leverage IoT devices in their operations and products. As IIoT builds upon current and emerging technologies, ARC expects that its adoption will be rapid and widespread. Leading industrial suppliers clearly agree as many have already launched major IIoT programs using catchy terms such as “Smarter Planet” (IBM), “Internet of Everything” (Cisco), and “Industrial Internet” (GE). In Europe, “Industrie 4.0” is also taking hold. All recognize IIoT’s potential for driving significant improvements in asset and operational performance.

Global Solutions team from Rockwell Automation tackles complex and widespread plant upgrade, delivering a solution that conquers multiple business and technological issues

cloud applications extend the plant into the external world. Both trends accelerate the erosion of plant perimeters. Use of cloud data stores and applications will also impact cyber risk management. Cloud data centers are high-value targets and increase the likelihood of attacks. Data center intrusions can also open new pathways into plant systems. Just be-ing connected to the Cloud will make hackers more aware of plant systems and encourage malicious activity. Managing cloud application risk will also be more challenging for industrial organizations. Outsourcing applications reduces the ability to mitigate risks according to internal risk perspectives and forces more reliance on contracts and contract managers to ensure alignment of internal and external risk concerns and actions.

The diversity of IIoT opportunities makes it difficult to predict all the ways that organizations will use IoT devices in industrial control systems, but we can be sure that system designers will find creative ways to take advantage of this enhanced intelligence and connectivity. Initial applications will likely involve adding wireless, remotely accessible sensors to plant systems to help improve asset management. As comfort levels grow, use of IIoT will spread across all industrial business processes and connect many external devices with plant systems. These developments will change the very nature of industrial control and the responsibilities of ICS engineers and cybersecurity personnel. IIoT will be applied within and outside plants, so the urgency for security-by-design devices will rise across the spectrum of industrial controllers, networks, and devices. This multi-environment use will also accelerate the shift to wireless, IP-based industrial protocols and demand more use of encryption and device authorization. As local intelligence expands, managing software updates will become more complex, necessitating more supplier responsibility and involvement in security strategies.

Current versus Future Industrial Cybersecurity Strategies

Organizations need to review all aspects of their cybersecurity strategies to understand how these developments impact their current plans. While organizations differ, the table above reflects the kinds of changes that should be anticipated. Every organization should review its strategy in every area from industrial cybersecurity scope to choice of technologies.

Mission and Scope

Protecting the availability and integrity of critical assets will remain the central mission of industrial cybersecurity programs, but the scope will broaden to include devices, systems, and services outside

traditional plant and SCADA perimeters as critical assets. Current scopes reflect the reference architectures used in standards like IEC-62443. While these architectures will remain relevant for plants and automation systems (including both in-plant control systems and wider-area SCADA systems), these facilities will become elements in larger industrial control ecosystems. Embracing this expanded scope will be essential to develop effective plans for the new challenges that will develop. Some organizations will want to maintain their current ICS cybersecurity scope, but smart companies already recognize the inherent weakness of this position. The devastating impact of peripheral attacks on industrial IT systems, like Shamoon, shows that performance of industrial companies already depends upon

IEC-62443 Reference Architectures

Future Industrial Internet of Things Ecosystems the availability of complete, end-to-end industrial business processes. And this dependence will grow as industry continues to strive for better performance and lower costs. Many plants are already optimized and, increasingly, industrial organizations are looking for opportunities in tighter integration of plants, customers, partners and logistics services. Many are also increasing use of external services to reduce costs and help overcome the challenges presented by an aging workforce.

People

Today, most companies view ICS cybersecurity as an internally focused, ICS issue. While it’s common to use ICS suppliers and third parties for assessments, audits, and training; the day-to-day incidents are generally addressed in-house. Accordingly, increasing the cybersecurity expertise of engineering staffs has become the focus of organizational strategies. While understandable, many organizations already recognize the limitations of this approach. Backlogs of software revisions and patches are growing, cybersecurity technology complexity is increasing, and the short-age of ICS cybersecurity expertise force them to rely more on their ICS suppliers and third parties. The coming developments will certainly exac-erbate this situation and require even more outside support. As scope expands this will lead to the expectation that all suppliers of critical devic-es, systems, and services will have to assume primary responsibility for the ongoing security of their products.

Processes

Process recommendations in current ICS cybersecurity standards are well designed and proven through years of use. Concepts like defense-in-depth will certainly be as relevant in the future as they are today. But other assumptions will have to be reviewed and adapted for the broader scope of protection required for the industrial internet of things. The ability to protect critical assets with secure perimeters, zones and conduits will certainly become challenging when many of these assets are located in open environments and accessed through a variety of public networks. To accommodate these changes, processes will have to place more emphasis on secure devices and secure message protocols. This will likewise necessitate change in user-centric authorization processes to include additional factors like device

authorization and location. Risk analysis is another process that will have to broaden and include threats to external devices, systems, and services. Future ICS cybersecurity strategies will also require adding some new processes. Examples include processes to remotely manage device credentials, patches, and new applications. Physical device security will also become an issue to protect against theft of credentials and network login information. Fortunately, these are not new issues to the overall cybersecurity community and ICS teams should be able to leverage the lessons learned by groups that manage mobile and cloud security.

Technology

Like processes, ICS cybersecurity technology is already quite mature. Most organizations believe that they have enough to handle most of today’s risks. Ensuring that individual endpoint devices incorporate these capabilities will be the primary challenge for the IIoT.

An IIoT View of the Cybersecurity Challenge

Explosive growth in smart devices like the Nest thermostat prompted considerable interest in IT that controls the physical world. Operational technology (OT) emerged as a new term for distinguishing these applications from those used on information technology (IT) devices like tablets and smartphones, which focus on collecting and managing information. This IT-OT dichotomy has been a useful tool in understanding the core is-sues that separate ICS and IT cybersecurity. It provides a convenient way to classify the purpose of individual cyber assets and evaluate the need for special constraints on external accessibility, reboots, patch testing, etc. Aligning these needs with existing cyber capabilities will help organizations establish responsibility boundaries and identify areas requiring additional resources and training. While powerful, IT-OT analysis is not rich enough to address all IIoT cyber-security issues. Tomorrow’s industrial cybersecurity programs will have to ensure that the organization’s internal and external systems and devices are fully protected and that all third-party services are secured against attacks that might leak into critical systems. The following figure illustrates this more complicated cybersecurity environment and the different kinds of cybersecurity strategies that will be required.

To avoid problems, organizations need to be prepared for the changes that will ensue with the IIoT. Industrial adoption of developments like mobility, cloud, and IoT devices will take time, but history tells us that it will probably occur with little input from those responsible for cybersecurity. Lack of advanced planning will therefore place organizations at considerable risk and limit future strategic options.

Budget

IIoT Expands Scope of Industrial Cybersecurity Landscape Security requirements and constraints vary across the different kinds of technologies involved in the IIoT. As discussed above, industrial control and enterprise systems will continue to have different IT-OT goals and constraints that require different practices and skills. IT organizations already recognize that mobile device cybersecurity is different and requires special practices to manage confidentiality and privacy of local data and apps. Intelligent assets have similar needs, but differ in their IT-OT responsibilities and constraints. Managing the cybersecurity of third-party systems and devices will require yet another set of practices, since they are shared, and managed by third parties with different views regarding cyber risks and management strategies. Guidelines, standards, and best practices are already available for most individual cybersecurity areas. But the various approaches have a lot of overlap.

Like the current deliberations regarding ICS and IT cybersecurity, these overlaps will need to be addressed to eliminate confusion and inefficiency. Smart organizations will recognize this broader landscape in current discussions and develop a single, coherent, future-proof, integrated industrial internet of things cybersecurity strategy.

INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM CYBER SECURITY

New ARC Research Report Explores Market Dynamics for Industrial Cybersecurity Network Security Solutions

The article follows a theme made popular in previous papers on The Seven Deadly Sins of Sulfur Recovery, and The Seven Deadly Sins of Amine Treating. The intent is to offer examples as well as quantitative information based on historical experience of analyzer engineering and sample handling details. The subject is one of the least understood facets of a project, the profession is occupied by people from various fields who have made it their life’s work and this is a collection of their findings. 1. Introduction

Automation

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.

| OCTOBER 2016

There are many specialty sub‐suppliers to the sulfur recovery and gas processing industry and many of them display and present materials at conferences such as ISA. These companies include the engineering firms who license the proprietary processes, catalyst and solvent vendors, mechanical devices, specialty instrumentation suppliers, and process testers and problem solvers. The

The process analyzer business can certainly be characterized in this way. No one graduates as an analyzer engineer, it is a profession populated by chemical, electrical, instrumentation and mechanical engineers. It is supplemented by various branches of science such as physicists, chemists and spectroscopists who have migrated from research to the applied end of their profession. To provide the widest possible view and to generate debate the four authors are specifically from distinct aspects of the process analyzer industry. There is not always agreement as to where the root cause of an analyzer problem lies but there is consensus on the leading problem areas, their general remedies and this short list of “seven sins”. The four aspects of the analyzer industry represented in this article are: •

•

• •

The process analyzer vendor, supplier of discreet devices ranging from the simple (pH, oxygen) to the more complex (gas chromatographs, UV photometric, tail gas and ultra‐low concentration moisture analyzers). The systems integrator (“SI”) contractor; responsible for the combined package of sample transport, sample conditioning, analyzer device, validation, utilities, shelter, HVAC, and communications. The contract maintenance provider, responsible for lifetime support of the total system provided by the systems integrator. The independent performance testing contractor.

2.2) The Project Picture: •

•

2. Overview of the Process Analyzer Industry It is worthwhile for the process engineering audience to have an idea of the breadth, scope and size of the process analyzer industry. The overall market size as well as the spend on an individual project is relatively small as compared to total project costs but the impact far outweighs the cost. Process analyzers are always a fashionable topic. 2.1) The Big Picture: •

• • • • • •

The global cumulative value of process control enterprise is USD 409 billion 2009‐2012 or ~USD 136 billion/year; the market is viewed as being flat in this period. Process Analytical Instrumentation (PAI) comprises only 6% of this amount, (~USD 8 billion/year). This is a relatively small portion of the total spent on process control but it draws a great deal of attention in the control world. 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.

•

According to a major international oil company, integration represents 55% and analyzers 45% of the total cost of an analyzer project. This somewhat contradicts the overall industry figures but can be explained by the fact the CPI spend more on shelters, no doubt influenced by hazardous area (explosion proof ) design. The Systems Integrator breaks the spending down as; Analyzers: 30‐40%, Shelter and Sample System (with commissioning spares and consumable gases): 40‐50%, Fabrication Labour: 8‐10%, Engineering/Design: 8‐10%, Crating & Misc: 2‐5% The 15‐year cost of ownership of an analyzer system is equal to the total capital cost of the fully integrated system. Half of this cost is labor, the other half is parts. Of the half invested in parts, ~25% is consumables and ~75% replacement parts. Shelter costs for chromatographs are on‐par with the cost of the GC. For example, an analyzer house for eight GCs costs more than the eight GCs. This is the rationale for locating several analyzers in one shelter, which at times is a source of problem in itself.

| OCTOBER 2016

On‐line process gas analyzers comprise a relatively small proportion of the capital investment in a grass roots project but they require detailed attention if they are to be successfully implemented and fully exploited. The chain is long and the mistakes are many. It runs from front end engineering design, to EPC detailed design, through systems integration, selection of technique and vendor, factory acceptance test, start up, handover and a life cycle support strategy.

experts from these various companies make it their life’s work to gather expertise in a core area and they are valued for their experience.

This collection of sins is not intended to present a scolding of the FEED, EPC, end‐user or the hydrocarbon processing industry in general. To be sure, some of these sins are reflections of where the vendor or integrator has failed. The intent is to draw attention to areas where excessive costs are entailed, analyzers zfail to meet their expectations, processes are not fully optimized and the full benefit of the analyzers are never realized due to a negative or legacy reputation.

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.

Abstract

Given the reactivity and toxicity of sulfur recovery process gases on‐site lab results are considered the reference method for H2S / SO2 tail gas and related analyzer applicatio applications. In many cases systemic analyzer problems are not discovered until this test is complete.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

The Seven Deadly Sins of Process Analyzer Applications

• • • •

Competition amongst analyzer vendors has encouraged technology advances, led to improved performance and constrained cost increases. 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.

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; •

2.4) Generalizations: •

•

• • • • •

• Automation | OCTOBER 2016

•

The process analyzer industry is largely fragmented and there are many specialist suppliers. There are a few large companies that can supply something in the order of 60% of the applications, some of those with compromise and never all the tags. 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 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.

•

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 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.

Savings of 10‐30% depending on shelter requirements and technology. The Remedy: • • •

A detailed review of all analyzer tags by the end‐ user and rationalization at the FEED stage that the technology and method have been updated. Retain, nurture and organically grow a cadre of analyzer engineers. Failing that, retain independent analyzer project consultants to review the technology and look at improvements.

Difficult locations for probe installations (wrong design)

The Cost: •

3.2) Piping Engineering, Major Mistakes Designed In at the FEED and EPC Stages 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. 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?

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: •

3.1) Lack of Knowledgeable Analyzer Engineers at the FEED and EPC Stages

The Cost:

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.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

The industry is characterized by widely diverging attributes. It is generally conservative about adopting new technologies, if it works, repeat, repeat, repeat. On the other hand, there are significant advances in analytical technology that are game changers in themselves. How quickly they are implemented varies but here are some general trends;

3. The Seven Deadly Sins of Process Analyzer Applications

Automation

2.3) Trends in the Process Analyzer Industry:

•

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. Automation | OCTOBER 2016

The Remedy: • Independent advice from outside resources or fully qualified analyzer engineers on staff to oversee SI contracts from start to finish. • Be ready for handover when the SI is completed their punch list. • Always retain the analyzer vendor for start up of the more complex (category 8‐15, Table 1),

3.4) Lack of a Comprehensive Plan to Staff for Start‐up, Training and Maintenance 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. 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 nor is there adequate training. Add to this, the step changes due to new technology opportunities step changes now being driven in maintenance and technical support. •

•

How to deal with skills’ shortage? Maintenance of current process analyzer technology has been identified as an issue for many years but little has been done to alleviate the problem. Maintenance continues as the largest expense component of the life‐cycle cost equation. Understaffed maintenance organizations are looking outside process analytical industry and SI organizations to contract maintenance providers for help. PAI products will continue to incorporate advanced (remote) diagnostic functionality. 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.

Table 1. Grouping of Analyzer Categories for Maintenance Purposes 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 Cost: • Everything. If an analyzer is left wanting for maintenance it soon suffers in reliability. When that happens operators lose confidence, the analyzer is not utilized and the entire cost is a waste. The tipping point is not hard to reach but hard to come back from. The Remedy: • A structure and philosophy in place from the start for a preventative maintenance. Recognition that analyzers are distinct from I&E and to staff to the required levels. • Utilize available assets for distance learning to

grow skill levels. The Analysis Division of ISA (International Society for Automation) partners with two colleges to provide a distance learning curriculum (“ATOP”) for the purpose of technician training. It serves as an excellent benchmark and resource for this purpose.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

•

the SI will always recommend against this and they should always be corrected. Start up by the vendor is invaluable; they check for mistakes, they ensure warranty validity and can properly train the end user technicians.

3.5) Sample Transport Mistakes Sample transport is the least understood area of science of on‐line analytics outside our own industry. It is dominated by the laws of physics and unlike process piping in every way. While we have detailed specifications for shelters and analyzers, not very much of the analyzer data sheets describe sample systems. It gets treated as an art form, designed and handled differently by everyone who builds one. Fundamentally, the same physical laws, chemical effects, and equally important, philosophical laws apply to each system which can perhaps be best described by; “Never ascribe to bad design what can be explained by stupidity, but don’t rule out bad design” One of the classic examples in process analyzers is the measurement of low level moisture in the 0.1….1.0 ppm region and typical values for a natural gas complex. Water is a highly polar compound and there is a world of difference in transporting a 10 to 100 ppm moisture event vs. a 0 to 1.0 ppm moisture event both in wet‐up and dry‐down times. The following example illustrates the difference of the response time for a 0 to 1.0 ppm event for various types of surfaces at 60oC and 30m, 350 cc / min.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

•

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.

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. Fig. 4.

Effective control of the process can be achieved by placing sample taps in a variety of places. The one which gives the least lag may give the most cause for maintenance headaches. The one which gives longer lag may give more accurate and reliable results decisions to be discussed and weighed. Consolidating several analyzer tags in a single building for the sake of economy of scale resulting is sample transport systems are not optimized for performance. Can we rationalize the economic trade‐off of the reduced cost for large, centralized shelters and higher cost and complexity for transport of samples over longer distances from the take‐off point to the analyzer? Most process analyzer systems that require heat‐ traced sample transport tubing have poorly designed transition interfaces and control/ monitoring systems. The impact of proper sample transport tubing design on analytical measurement performance is not well‐understood or well‐defined. Heat‐traced tubing systems for process analyzer systems are now one of the most significant costs for the sample system.

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.

Automation | OCTOBER 2016

The Remedy: • The example of 150 m sample lines was set in stone at the FEED stage. The EPC had all systems integrators quote the long sample lines and it was not until the end user, EPC, systems integrator and analyzer vendor questioned the design that the empirical test was organized. Devote more time at the FEED stage and question the compromise vs. the savings realized for long sample transport distances • Engage the vendor in these discussions, no one knows the application like the vendor, they have all the scars to prove it and in the end that is what you pay for; someone not to make someone else’s mistakes.

3.6) Validation; Test Results vs. Analyzer, Analyzer vs. Lab The process analyzer world is populated by people who have to have knowledge not only of their profession but also of every process where an analyzer is in service because every analyzer will be called into question at some time. The skill set of an analyzer engineer and technician is said to be a mix of chemistry, physics, electronics, software, control engineering, sample handling, common sense, perseverance, black magic and after it is all done, the ability to persuade others the analyzer is reporting the correct value. Some analyzers are more stable than others in terms of zero and span drift. UV analyzers for example exhibit excellent span drift qualities that are near zero, do not require routine span gas validation and the exercise should be avoided. 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. Some of the pitfalls and mistakes; • Operator or engineer comparing GC results with analyzer results and jumping to the wrong conclusion. In sulfur plants GC analyses are typically dry (approx 25% moisture) whereas analyzer results are always lower since they are wet by the 25%. • For a stack analyzer in addition to moisture correction there may be sample conversion of trace species like H2S, COS, CS2 to SO2 which will not agree with a stack sample by GC analysis which has been sampled carefully, quenched quickly. • A major US refinery with span gas spending USD 1 million/year (primarily CEMs) deduced by comparison that 10% of all their span gases were delivered with incorrect values. Fresh span gas can be wrong, if suspect get a second bottle. • It is a generalization but usually the device or analysis that is reading “low” is the one in error assuming cross interference has been eliminated. It is relatively easy to lose an analyte to reaction or absorption but nearly impossible to create it. • Stain tubes are only accurate +/‐ 25% at best and subject to cross interference. Use them as

The Cost: • Time and resources spent in examining an on‐line process analytical discrepancy. • Damage caused by an extended excursion when an analyzer is called into question. • An analyzer abandoned (not utilized) because the results are suspect (unexpected). The Remedy: • In the case of any question from operations as to the veracity of an analyzer assemble a team to look for the probable cause, assume nothing, look at all factors. • Use all resources, contact your analyzer vendor “have you seen this before?” it is likely they have and the advice is free. 3.7) The Analyzer Industry Is Not Forthcoming with Information Concerning Mis‐application, Interferences and Potential Contamination. This is a self‐confessed sin from the analyzer industry. In the interest of fair bidding practices system integrators and analyzer vendors work within a strict protocol and standard specifications. There is no incentive to point out errors or discrepancies and in fact there is dis‐ incentive if the knowledgeable bidder does not wish to give advantage to a competitor or sees opportunity to be low bid and gain it back with change orders. The sin is characterized by; • Critical evaluation of different analytical technology for specific applications is lacking. In many instances, there are multiple technologies available to perform a component measurement and a rigorous evaluation is not undertaken at the FEED, EPC or systems integration stage. • Analyzer sample systems get treated as an Art‐Form designed and handled differently by everyone who builds one. • The process analytical industry does not provide sufficient information to evaluate the performance of different technologies for different applications, particularly relative to component interference and potential contamination. • Budget constraints at the EPC level often mean only major GC manufacturers can effectively bid for huge analyzer projects. They understand their own products very well however they have much less knowledge of other analyzer sub suppliers. It is then difficult to get access to the end‐user project analyzer system engineer. • How do we differentiate the value related to performance of analytical technology so that the

purchase is not just on the lowest price? The Cost: • Not having the best available technology. Having to replace an analyzer in the early years of a project. An analyzer that is no longer supported. The Remedy: • Do your homework; do not take the FEED contractor’s data sheets as doctrine. • Ask for a proven track record and references. • Ask various vendors for alternatives, attend industry conferences to stay current and get unbiased advice from other users.

indicators only because that’s what they are (and correct for dry basis). The method by which lab samples are taken and the time from sample to lab are critical parameters. If operators are taking samples they require specialist training. An analyzer technician can say with confidence if an on‐line analyzer is reading correctly, if in doubt, look for the not so obvious process reason.

4.1) Conclusions, Recommendations and Challenges • • •

• • • • •

The credits delivered by analyzers far outweigh the costs; high availability is the key to capturing the credits. Minimum cost can lead to poor availability and high cost of ownership. Dedicate much more attention to analyzer systems at the FEED stage, deeper intervention on the SI at the EPC stage, retain career analyzer professionals. Let an analyzer engineer sign off on the piping design Seriously rationalize the spending on HVAC and the use of long sample lines. Do not allow communication decisions to compromise analyzer selection. Move the analyzers closer to the pipe. If a closed shelter is required; use cabinets when possible and utilize analyzers houses when necessary. How do we engage in constructive dialogue with process designers and process control engineers to optimize process analytical measurements and performance?

There is a specific example of a current project in the Gulf. The FEED had all moisture analyzers located in a common house resulting in sample transport lines of 150m. At the insistence of the analyzer vendor, the systems integrator and the EPC a comprehensive simulation test was performed so the time lag could be quantified and the implications noted before committing to the design. At the very least the material and operating temperature of the heat‐traced tubing needed to be carefully tested under controlled conditions before committing to the detail entailing considerable cost.

Bangladesh cricket hero and Etihad crew bat for slum children ABU DHABI // A Bangladeshi sporting legend is supporting a project set up by an Etihad cabin crew member to help children in Dhaka escape life in the slums. Former test cricket captain Mushfiqur Rahim visited the Choice to Change (C2C) school this week along with a team of Etihad volunteers to lend their support to the school’s efforts. Slovakian Eva Kernova founded the C2C to support 25 children in a ramshackle school after visiting slums during a flight layover. Since then, the school has attracted more than 1,000 visitors, including almost 600 cabin crew from Emirates and Etihad, to help the charity school grow. It is now one of the few English teaching schools in the region, and is giving youngsters a rare chance to escape a life of child labour and dream of breaking out of communities where the average wage is US$400 a year. “Our introduction to Mushfiqur Rahim came through a family friend and quite randomly,” said Ms Kernova, who jointly founded the project with a friend, Sunil Baroi, six years ago.

Automation | OCTOBER 2016

“We were as surprised as the children were that our family friend made the introduction and that Mushfiq was kind enough to agree to it. “Mushfiq doesn’t have a formal role, but his presence at the C2C annual picnic last week certainly did a lot to inspire the children and staff and created lifetime memories.” The school will have its first graduating class at the end of this academic year, when the oldest children, now in their early teens, will sit the Grade 5 government exam, which could allow them to pursue secondary education or vocational training if they pass. So far, the school has

outperformed the national average in two key areas – fewer drop-outs and in English language. Overall, fewer than five per cent drop out, compared to a national average of about 25 per cent between grades five and six and 10 to 15 per cent from Grades 1 to 5. Etihad joined the project by offering staff free flights every two months to visit the school, as well as donating from its guest air miles scheme to pay for a bus to transport children from the slum into the school. Mohammed Loch, Ms Kernova’s charity partner, said the increasing numbers of airline staff wanting to visit the school on stop-offs is helping raise the project’s profile, and encouraging more donors to get involved. “C2C is the only slum school in Dhaka that is teaching everyone English, and that is making a huge difference,” he said. “With the benefit of 1,000 visitors since it started, the children can now speak fluent English and are super confident.” The C2C school is officially registered as a Bangladesh non-government organisation and is in the process of registering as a UK charity to access potential donors in Europe and elsewhere. Several institutions have lent their assistance to C2C, including auditor KPMG. The next phase of growth will involve firmly establishing funds for the school’s sustainability, from corporate and individual sources all over the world. That, in turn, will encourage children to have the best chance of a successful transition into the workplace. “These kids have been taught all their lives they are going to be workers. To see their options open up with an education is massive for them,” Mr Loch said.
