Dear DMS Members, As one of the few living in the Middle East who tries to save on using too much energy or water (just look for the dirtiest car in the car park and you’ll probably find me!)

I am encouraged to see that Saudi Aramco and SEC (pg 9 of this issue) are working together on ten solar-energy related projects. Personally, I have said for years that, with all the wealth O&G has produced in this part of the world, it surprises me that they didn’t start harnessing energy from the sun sooner. We all know we need to export to bring prosperity and so, with rising populations and domestic use of energy, it seemed obvious that the use of solar-energy would be inevitable to help maintain O&G exports and yet they have taken too long and not gone far enough in my mind.

Of course solar-energy will also help drive the Middle East economies towards more diversification since, with cheap, readily-available energy (and water), manufacturing will become cheaper in the Middle East than anywhere else around the world especially in the downstream segment where feedstock is also cheaper than elsewhere. The production of water becomes extremely cost-effective as well and so more green fields and trees will appear making it more pleasant to live in this part of the world bringing more people, technology and innovation, etc. with it.

But they need to be more aggressive in their plans and implementation. Did you know that an area the size of Spain would be enough to power the world in 2032? Spain is a quarter of the size of Saudi Arabia…. There is a lot of desert out there and so this part of the world can easily be energy self-sufficient without having to touch their oil and gas. Either way they have energy resources that can be utilised to theirs and others benefit.

Thankfully for us there will always be a need for automation in the Middle East.

Kind regards, Hugh Wingrove Editor-in-Chief DMS Global MAY 2016 | Automation

DMS ANALYTIC Fujairah LNG Import Plant Delayed Emirates LNG, the joint venture of UAE state-controlled International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) and Mubadala Petroleum was formed to secure additional gas supplies to meet energy demand from the UAE’s growing economy.

Emirates LNG was planning to develop the UAE’s first, and the Middle East’s largest, land-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facility on the UAE’s east coast in Fujairah.

However, the project which would have been the first land-based facility for importing liquefied natural gas into the United Arab Emirates has been indefinitely delayed after contracting a floating liquefied natural gas unit.

The refinery which has been planned since 2013 was expected to be used for importing 9 million tons of gas a year, at the busy oil port of Fujairah as well as to supply an average of 1.2 billion standard cubic feet (bcf ) per day of natural gas to the country’s power sector.

The project was initially slated to be completed by 2016 and then in 2018. The project scope included regasification terminal & land-based regasification terminal, onshore import terminal & vaporization unit, and associated facilities.

| MAY 2016

Technip had been previously involved in the project and completed the front end engineering and design in 2014.

Emirates LNG is now planning to build an onshore facility in Fujairah capable of importing 9 million tons of gas a year. The company is also looking at other options for the planned onshore facility, which would have onsite gas storage capabilities, an LNG reloading station, and an LNG bunkering station.

UAE has been using gas as fuel for power plants and has been a net importer since 2008, when Qatar began supplying through pipelines. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) will now boost the Emirate’s gas purchases by contracting a floating storage vessel and regasification unit to begin importing LNG later this year.

The vessel is planned to be based at Ruwais, to the west of Abu Dhabi, where there is an existing oil refinery and crude-loading port.

The planned Fujairah facility continues to remain significant as Fujairah, which is an emirate as well as a port, is emerging as an increasingly important global strategic oil and logistics hub laying outside the Strait of Hormuz.

BAPCO aims to Modernize Refinery in Bahrain Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) has been the first company in the Arabian Peninsula region to discover and export oil in 1934. BAPCO’s first refinery, which was also the first in the Arabian Gulf, was constructed in 1935.

Today, BAPCO is a wholly owned establishment by the Government of Bahrain and its refinery has the capacity of about 250,000 barrels per day. Most of the crude for refinery operation has been provided by Saudi Arabia via pipelines, and a large portion of the net output and revenues from Saudi Arabia’s Abu Saafa Offshore oilfield goes to Bahrain.

Bahrain has been successful in being the first state in the region to manage its transition away from full dependence on oil. The expansion of the banking and tourism sectors in recent years have given rise to a more competitive private sector, despite the sharp decrease in oil revenues. In 2008, BAPCO has expressed their plans to add 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of new refinery capacity to its existing plant and has stated that the older units will need to be upgraded. The plan has been contingent on receiving increased crude supplies from Saudi Arabia and a pipeline pumping 220,000 barrels per day of Saudi oil to Bahrain would surely require expansion. The BAPCO modernization program

(BMP) would involve revamping five crude distillation units and replacing the aging units with only one or two larger units. BAPCO is also planning to build a unit to convert heavy fuel oil into lighter transport fuels.

For the Modernization Program, the firm has awarded Technip the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract in 2014 at $55.9 million and has been scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2016. BAPCO has chosen WorleyParsons as the project management consultant who will be in charge of assisting BAPCO in managing, monitoring and appraising the activities involving the FEED contractor, as well as the other contractors chosen to execute the project. The company has yet to announce who will be chosen as the main EPC contractor for the project. During the first quarter of 2016, the firm has invited international engineering companies to express interest in the contract bidding and is currently still reviewing the bids they have received since then.

The program is designed to optimize the refinery configuration with the vision of placing BAPCO amongst the most competitive refineries in the Middle East beyond 2020.

RasGas - Qatar Barzan Gas Field Development Project Present day Qatar holds the many aspects a successful growing economy presents, but with growth synonymously derives demands. Such is the case with power consumption where demand for energy in Qatar is constantly growing along with each successful development in every sector. Be it infrastructure, industrial, commercial, residential, etc., all are key components that add to the growing power consumption, much of which are to be built either in time for the FIFA WORLD CUP in 2022, or aligned into Qatar’s NATIONAL VISION 2030. This is where the Barzan Gas Field Development Project comes into play.

The Barzan Gas Field Development Project’s primary goal is to produce gas from Qatar’s non-associated North Field for utilization in the growing domestic market, mostly to be utilized for power generation and water desalination. In 2007, Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil formed a joint venture and inked a Statement of Participation Principles for the Barzan Gas Field Development Project. Doing so will sanctify all components and future phases necessary for the project.

Two years later, the joint venture of Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil decided to delay the project up to a maximum of one year period in 2009, as the revised FEED study (conducted by RASGAS) indicated possible

falling EPC costs in the future, which could mean lower overall cost for the project. Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil had agreed to stall the project up to a year, all the while informing the contractors of their decision. Late 2009, Qatar Petroleum invited role players known in the industry, such as the United States’ Fluor Corporation, France’s Technip, and Italy’s Saipem just to name a few, to submit their bids for the project. In 2010, Qatar Petroleum released the list of prequalified contractors for both the EPC package for Onshore and Offshore.

Prequalified onshore contractors consisted of Chiyoda Corp/Samsung Engineering, JGC, Saipem/ CTCI and Technip. The offshore prequalified contractors consisted of Hyundai Heavy Industries, McDermott, National Petroleum Construction Company and Saipem.

Later on, the joint venture of Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil would award McDermott the Offshore EPC contract, while JGC is awarded the Onshore EPC contract counterpart of the project. Qatar Petroleum completed financing the project in 2011, which revealed a whopping $10.4 billion.Procurement and construction works on the project, both for the offshore and onshore, commenced on 2012 with construction works still ongoing to this year 2016, with 2019 as the forecasted completion timeline.

Saudi Shifting to Solar At a recent conference conducted in Berlin, Saudi Arabia’s oil minister Ali Al-Nami was quoted as saying that Riyadh is focusing on renewable energy sources such as solar power in preparation for a post-oil global economy. However, he also estimated that the world would not abandon its reliance on fossil fuels for at least another fifty years. Saudi Arabia currently forged forward with renewable projects such as the wind farm in Umiju and the solar projects in Al Jouf and Rafna. In Yanbu, the renewables sector is making strides with the construction of polysilicon and solar wafer production plants. Integrated solar combined-cycle power plants are being built in different parts of the country as well as solar saline water reverse osmosis desalination plants.

Come 2017, the two state-owned companies controlling the country’s energy sector –Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and Saudi Aramco– plan to break ground jointly in about ten solar-related projects around the kingdom.

Such initiatives seem quite revolutionary in Saudi Arabia, who burns about a quarter of the oil they produce with domestic consumption rising at an alarming 7 percent annually – nearly three times the rate of the country’s population growth. The government sells gasoline for approximately 50 cents per gallon and 6 | Automation

| MAY 2016

electricity for as little as 1 centavo per kilowatt-hour.

British think tank, Chatham House published a widelyread report in December 2011 citing that should this trend continue, domestic consumption may eat into the kingdom’s oil exports by 2021 and possibly render Saudi Arabia a net oil importer come 2038. It will not come as a surprise if the country’s motivation has nothing to do with global warming. The last thing Saudi Arabia wants is to put an end to the fossil-fuel era. On the contrary, the government sees investing in solar energy as a way to remain a global oil power. In addition to having some of the world’s richest oil fields, Saudi Arabia garners some of the world’s most intense sunlight. Harnessing solar energy is an obvious alternative.

Solar energy prices fell by about 80 percent the past few years, crediting mostly the Chinese factories producing inexpensive solar panels and efficient solar technology. In 2012, Saudi announced a goal of building 41 GW of solar capacity by 2032 – slightly more than what Germany, the current world leader, has today.

Whether this would be enough to meet the country’s aggressive target of addressing 20 percent of their projected electricity needs remains to be seen.

KNPC - Al Zour LNG Import and Regasification Terminal Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has been considering adding permanent import and regasification facilities since 2009, though Kuwait is not short on domestic Natural Gas sources, the country has found difficulties in developing it’s reserves. KNPC has been receiving LNG at the Mina Al-Ahmadi gas port.

The KNPC is now building an important Regasification Terminal in the Al Zour area near the site for the future Al Zour New Refinery Complex. Kuwait Imports over 3 billion cubic meters of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) each year as a source for power plants across the country. This project will receive, store and transport the imported LNG. The Terminal will have the marine facilities for two berths for unloading big size LNG carriers, a regasification plant with the capacity of 1,500 billion British thermal units a day (btu/d), 4 large 225,500 square meters LNG storage tanks, and pipeline connections from the terminal to the already established pipeline systems for both LNG and Natural Gas. The Terminal will also have a tie-in with the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) gas network, a Pig launcher and receiver as well as a metering system. The LNG Terminal will also provide

ANALYTIC

training for plant operators along with testing so they can receive provisional acceptance. In February 2014, KNPC signed a contract with the US firm, Foster Wheeler to design the Al Zour LNG Import and Regasification Terminal. The designs were completed in December of the same year. KNPC originally issued the Invitation to Bid for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract (EPC) to prequalified companies in May 2015, then after one company dropped out of one of the Joint Ventures bidding on the project, the EPC contract was awarded in March 2016 to the consortium of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Korea Gas corporation (Kogas) and Hyundai Engineering Company. KNPC is also planning for a second phase for this project, where the regasification plant will have an increased capacity of 3,000 billion btu/d and an additional four large 180,000 square meters LNG storage tanks to be installed.

The whole Facility will be built on reclaimed land built by hydraulic filling.

The Al Zour LNG import and Regasification Terminal is currently in the Engineering and Procurement phase of the project and it is expected to be commissioned before the end of December 2020.

Ansaldo Energia and Sepco 3 the main contractors for Ibri-Sohar3 IPPs Ansaldo Energia Switzerland was appointed as the main supplier of major power plant parts to Ibri and Sohar 3 gas-fired combined cycle power plants Independent Power Plants (IWP) project. The project is the largest power procurement in the Sultanate of Oman with a total installed capacity of 3,219 megawatt (MW). The two contracts signed with Ansaldo Energia have a total value of $685 million.

Ibri CCPP will have a capacity of 1,510 MW, while Sohar 3 CCPP, to be built at Sohar Industrial Port in Northern Oman, will have a capacity of 1,710 MW. Both plants are expected to come on stream by April 2019. The Ibri and Sohar 3 plant will be developed by a consortium led by Mitsui & Co. and includes Saudi ACWA Power and local Dhofar International Development and Investment Holding Company (DIDIC). The consortium received a letter of award to develop the plants from Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) in early January and announcement of the award of the contract followed in February. Agreements for the establishment of the Ibri – Sohar - 3 IPPs marking the official start of the project will be signed on 15 May 2016, between OPWP and the consortium of Mitsui & Co.. Mitsui, which is the lead investor, will hold 50.1 per cent, ACWA Power

will hold 45 per cent of shares, and DIDIC will hold the remaining 5 per cent of the consortium. Mitsui & Co. will operate the plant and sell electric power under a 15year power purchase agreement with OPWP. Ansaldo Energia will supply the main power train equipment components for each power plant, which includes, four GT26 class gas turbines, four heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), two steam turbines and six turbo generators to Chinese Electric Power Construction Cooperation (SEPCOIII), who will be in-charge of the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the plant and the associated utilities. Ansaldo Energia will provide long term maintenance services to the operator once the plants are fully commissioned. The mega power plants are expected to supply 30 per cent of the electricity needed in the Muscat area, once commercial production reached its peak. Another mega power plant with a generation capacity of 800 MW, and to be developed by an independent power producer, is planned for the Muscat region, to meet the growing demand for electricity. OPWP will start the prequalification process for the BOO contract before the end of 2016 and hopes the plant will start commercial operations by 2021.

Yokogawa Releases CENTUM® VP R6.03 Integrated Production Control System –Ensuring quick and smooth system upgrades– Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it has developed CENTUM VP® R6.03, a new version of the company’s integrated production control system with enhanced functionality, and will release it on June 1.

In keeping with its VigilantPlant® vision for the control business, Yokogawa has been continually making improvements to its flagship CENTUM VP integrated production control system. With the functional enhancements provided in R6.03, CENTUM CS, CENTUM CS 1000, and CENTUM CS 3000 systems can be smoothly upgraded to Yokogawa’s latest system offering, CENTUM VP.

need to be performed to replace aging control systems software and hardware, hold down maintenance costs, improve production capacity, and comply with new regulations. To minimize disruptions to production operations, such system upgrades should be quick and trouble-free.

CENTUM VP R6.03 was developed to ensure quick and smooth system upgrades. The features provided in R6.03 will make it possible for users of CENTUM CS (released in 1992), CENTUM CS 1000 (released in 1997), and CENTUM CS 3000 (released in 1998) systems to quickly and smoothly upgrade to CENTUM VP. The following section provides information about key features of this new CENTUM VP version.

Development Background CENTUM VP provides an optimum operation, monitoring, and engineering environment for every Enhancements phase of the plant lifecycle, from initial design, With R6.03, the CENTUM VP input/output (IO) device engineering, installation of systems and equipment, and and application programs have been modified to startup to full operation and the ongoing performance improve compatibility with CENTUM CS, CENTUM CS of renovations and modifications until it is time to 1000, and CENTUM CS 3000 hardware and software, withdraw a facility from service. Over the several thus easing the system upgrade process and reducing decades that a plant will remain in use, upgrades will associated risks.

COMPANY NEWS (1) Compatibility with existing cabinets, terminal blocks, and field instrument cables. The primary components of a CENTUM system are the human interface stations (HIS) that serve as a monitoring and control interface for operators in a central control room and the field control stations (FCS) that control the actual operation of the plant facilities. Each FCS has a controller and numerous IO devices that are connected to valves and the sensors used to measure flow rate, pressure, temperature, and other variables of the production process.

The functions and shape of the CENTUM VP R6.03 IO device has been modified so that it is fully interchangeable with RIO, the IO device used with CENTUM CS, CENTUM CS 1000, and certain CENTUM CS 3000 systems. The modified CENTUM VP R6.03 IO device is thus fully compatible with the FCS cabinets and terminal blocks used with these earlier CENTUM systems. Upgrading to the new CENTUM VP IO is simple: just replace the existing IO module in each FCS cabinet with the new IO module. There is no need to reconfigure the wiring that connects the IO to sensors and valves.

Thanks to the modifications made to the CENTUM VP R6.03 IO, users of legacy CENTUM integrated control systems can perform quick and minimum-risk upgrades to CENTUM VP. (2) Enhanced compatibility with application software developed for earlier CENTUM releases. CENTUM VP R6.03 has been modified to ensure enhanced backward compatibility with the application programs used with CENTUM CS, CENTUM CS 1000, and CENTUM CS 3000.

The HIS graphics and control logic programs developed for these earlier CENTUM systems can also be used with CENTUM VP R6.03. This allows for increased efficiency in the use of application programs, facilitates quick and minimum-risk system upgrades, and reduces plant downtime.

Masatoshi Nakahara, a Yokogawa director and executive vice president who heads the Industrial Automation Platform Business Headquarters, comments as follows on this new release: Yokogawa has continually striven to improve its core CENTUM platform while maintaining backward compatibility with previous system versions. In the development of CENTUM VP, the following four innovations have been emphasized: 1. Advanced operation Empowers operators to make smarter decisions.

2. Smart engineering A new engineering ecosystem that delivers certainty and confidence.

CCC Introduces Total Train Analytics (TTA) What tripped the process?

Uncovering the root cause of a process or plant trip can be a grueling process. First you may be collecting data from multiple sources and then comes the daunting task of correlating data to match the time stamps. All of this investigation is just the pre-work to understand when the onset happened and where. Correlating data between machine vibration, process variables, and your control system is the baseline to identifying sequence of events. CCC has introduced a new solution that shows you all three data sources on one Human Machine Interface (HMI); Total Train Analytics (TTA).

For the first time, this information is available to you at the enterprise level via your PI historian. Data historians have never been able to handle machine vibration data because of the high frequency required. In 2012 that changed when OSI Soft introduced their new PI historian technology which pulls data at 20 micro second intervals. Now with Total Train Analytics you have the

data available to answer the question of what happened and when you can start the important work of implementing your corrective action getting back online as fast as possible.

Once you’ve got the process running smoothly again, you’ve now got a robust data source for which to use for maintenance analysis and anomaly detection. Making intelligent decisions faster and proactively has never been this easy.

Further to the Process Control Network (PCN) security initiatives being implemented, the Security Information and Event Management solutions (SIEM) is evaluated as promising solution to manage and monitor the PCN security. The SIEM will provide visibility of the PCN assets and security state of each individual kits on the Operational Technology network.

3. GASCO was the biggest contributor of the ISA EMEA Conference and Exhibition when it was held in Abu Dhabi for the first time. What inspired you to take the lead in creating the 1st ISA UAE Conference & exhibition not just for ADNOC but the whole country?

This conference is a forum to gain in-depth knowledge about the technologies most relevant to the industry which enables us to explore technologies in instrumentation, process, measurement industries network with instrumentation professionals, discover solutions, see exhibits, attend a professional tour, and share experiences. GASCO being a leading contributor believe by having such Automation related conferences with support in focusing on delivering results across various oil and gas industry work-streams which attribute to performance, profitability, efficiency and people in turn success for our entity.

4. You are chairing the 1st ISA UAE Conference & Exhibition.

How will the rest of ADNOC benefit from this event you are responsible for?

The ISA Conference provides an opportunity for End Users, Vendors and automation service providers to meet under the same umbrella. The ISA conference also provides a unique opportunity for Knowledge sharing with similar discipline professionals. Hence, those individuals can discuss and challenge new solution and technologies.

Such events give us a platform to participate in and nurture broad networks of alliances with others to exchanges knowledge and information about learning and change in support of change initiatives. In addition, through this conference we should leverage the networking opportunities with Automation professionals across different automation industries.

5. Even though this is a UAE Event for the ISA there are many speakers from all the end users in the GCC taking part. How important is knowledge exchange not just at a local level but an international level as well?

At such important events, apart of enjoying the Emirates 18 | Automation

Hospitality, speakers and guests take opportunity to meet and discuss with their colleagues as well as bench mark their knowledge with a passion to enhance the latest update. They explore the latest advance trends in Control Systems Technology and application.

6. Why should vendors take part in technical events officially supported by the end users?

Vendors are partners of the industry and our business solution providers. Their attendance and presence is very important to understand the End User requirement for developing improved and efficient solutions. Moreover, these events provide Vendors the opportunity to introduce innovative solutions as well.

7. In Saudi Aramco there is a department called Process Control & System Division which acts as a centre of excellence for all the Saudi Aramco joint ventures to be in line with each other on the latest process automation technology. ADNOC has a Directorates for Gas, Downstream, Upstream but each ADNOC subsidiary operates independently when it comes to technical. Why does ADNOC not centralize technology as well?

ADNOC’s new leadership and vision is driving a positive change to capture every opportunity that will enhance the Group efficiency and its operation cost effectiveness. I believe, depending on the expected gains centralization priority for automation will be determined.

8. With the low oil prices how important a role will process automation play in creating efficiency for End Users?

Process Automation plays important role in creating efficiency and added technology value at all times and especially during global market upset scenario. It facilitates live data for better analysis to enable timely decision. It minimizes human machine interface to enhance safety, improve equipment performance to drive higher yields and assures integrity of operation hysterical data.

9. Industrial Control System Cyber Security is one of the main themes of this year’s event. Why have you given this area so much focus?

The advancement of technology in Process Control Systems and information sharing has had both positive as well as negative impacts. One of the negative impacts to the interconnected Process Control Network (PCN), a crucial system to Energy and utility sector, is the large threat arising from potential risks associated with unauthorized access, virus attacks, worms & malicious content which has the potential to degrade system performance and availability.

Thus it becomes more important than ever to implement a comprehensive PCN security strategy that protects the

SPECIAL FEATURE: ISA UAE EVENT

PCN while it enables access and integration to achieve efficiencies and visibility.

To align and direct national cybersecurity efforts, the UAE Government created the National Electronic Security Authority (NESA) to improve national cybersecurity and protect national information and communications infrastructure. As part of this mandate, NESA developed the UAE Information Assurance (IA) Standards to provide the requirements for raising the minimum level of IA across all relevant entities in the UAE. Implementing the NESA security controls for the PCN environment as part of UAE Information Assurance standards and continuously improving on existing PCN security controls to ensure SAFE, SECURE, RELIABLE and AVAILABLE operation of the Industrial Control System environment, is of paramount importance to the nation.

10. The UAE is a hub for the latest technologies for many industries in the region? The ISA plan to make their UAE event annual to promote this. Will GASCO continue to support ISA in the future with this?

We are fortunate that we have visionary and wise leadership to transform UAE into a country that embraces success and becomes a promising land for everyone to come to realize his dream. Many events is organized annually in UAE and the infrastructure are well developed to help these events succeed. I

believe there is a promising opportunity for ISA to soon establish their annual event in UAE. 11. Apart from Process Automation what other niche events would you like to see the UAE hosting to promote the nation as a platform for the latest technologies in the energy industry?

UAE is leading in promoting the use of renewable energy and trusted by the world to be the Head Quarters of IRENA. I believe, Solar Energy is the promising source for future energy. There is still available opportunity to innovate and develop the technology for capturing and storing solar energy which automation offers great efficiency improvement in this area.

“The ISA Conference provides an opportunity for End Users, Vendors and automation service providers to meet under the same umbrella. The ISA conference also provides a unique opportunity for Knowledge sharing with similar discipline professionals.

Interview with Tim Feldman “I Joined ISA in 2006 when society revenues were 92% in North America.

The challenge was to deliver products and services to the automation profession globally in a fast, focused and flexible manner.

Today, 22% of society revenues come from outsized north America. We are making progress but have a long way to go.”

What does the role of Director of Global Business Development for ISA involve?

I Joined ISA in 2006 when society revenues were 92% in North America. The challenge was to deliver products and services to the automation profession globally in a fast, focused and flexible manner. Today, 22% of society revenues come from outside north America. We are making progress but still have a long way to go.

In the Middle East the ISA Events in the past were regional. Now it looks like each chapter will have it’s won independent event? Why is that?

While we still conduct regional events, section events are an important aspect of society activity and our bylaws and operating procedures allow and encourage sections to conduct events. Some event are small and others as in the case of this event are quite large and sophisticated. We also work with and encourage sections to conduct co-sponsored training events with society. Some of the most valuable intellectual property the society has are the globally recognized training, certificate and certification programs we have that are standards based.

Capital flows to automation projects in a variety of industry vericals is strong in the GCC and in individual countries in the region even with the challenges in 24 | Automation

upstream Oil and Gas. Events focused on local needs are more relevant to the engineers, technician academicians, end users and suppliers.

Some the ISA Divisions such as the Analysis Division & the Process Control & Safety Division are bringing their events to the Middle East as well. How important is it to have niche technology events as well?

ISA is organized by Geography and Technical discipline.

ISA Technical divisions are eager to bring their content to symposia anywhere in the world.

For first time ISA has appointed Regional Director for the Middle East. What was the reasoning behind that?

As I mentioned earlier, capital flows to automation projects have been strong in the GCC for quite some time and the membership is ISA has followed that growth. Workforce development and all of the topics in the tracks covered by the conference demonstrate that everything that ISA is focused on is relevant to region, ISA staff needed to have someone on the ground with a deep understanding of this market and our products and services.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS

IIoT and Field Automation for the Upstream Oil & Gas Industry New and Difficult Challenges The onshore oil and gas industry is facing new and difficult challenges. Not only are there the obvious cost pressures from the dropping oil prices, but there are other hurdles that are making it difficult to run a profitable business. One of those challenges is that operators are being asked to operate in larger and larger fields. Some of the fields like the Eagle Ford in Texas are now over 800 square miles (2000 square kilometers) in size. Fields like the Permian in Texas USA, Marcellus in the Eastern USA, and Bakken in North Dakota USA have huge areas of operations.

Figure 2 – “Smart” Distributed Sensors – Source: Ziebel Field Automation Must Help Improve Financial Performance What are the implications of all these new challenges to the onshore oil and gas field automation world?

Perhaps the greatest is that companies are looking to field automation to help reduce costs. While the industry has seen significant reductions in drilling and completion costs – those cost savings have not been realized in the operations space. One of the new strategies to reduce costs is to use “management by exception,” where field automation handles the routine tasks such as flow readings and tank levels, while the field workers are directed to higher value work. This means that they are on task-specific trips to the well Figure 1 – Larger North American Fields – Source US EIA site dealing with exception from normal operating conditions, rather than just doing routes to collect data.

Another key factor is that many fields are moving from This results in less “windshield” time, which reduces the exploration phase where drilling and completions labor costs and improves safety due to less driving. where the main concern to more of a “brownfield” Field automation is also being asked to help improve phase where production optimization of existing well is revenues by providing more frequent data to help optimize production. This allows operators to make becoming the main focus. better informed decisions about areas such as infield But the field automation technology landscape is also drilling and well interventions. rapidly changing. Sensors are getting smarter and are Owner-operators expect that more reliable operations capable of taking new and different measurements. This includes 20 or 30 additional values being generated by will translate into tangible cost savings. Sensors that feed conventional sensors, waveform data being generated equipment health monitoring systems help improve by vibration sensors, and fiber optics cables used reliability and reduce unplanned outages. Monitoring as distributed sensors generating a measurement data such as tank levels can generate appropriate alerts every meter along the cable. There is also a new set before a well shut down is necessary – thus improving of data to contend with associated with all the OEM production. And chemical treatment monitoring can “smart” equipment (pumps, valves, engines, etc.) with ensure that there are adequate chemicals at the well embedded sensors generating performance and site and that those chemicals are being dosed at the correct rate, resulting in less well shut-ins and lower equipment health data. chemical costs.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS In order to optimize investments, time to first oil must be shortened. Field automation must deliver quicker implementations by scaling to much larger areas of operations. Gone are the days when one can take years to build out private infrastructure – the market demands much quicker time to first oil.

Brownfield Projects Present Different Priorities

IIoT Can Help Address These Challenges But how does one address all these new automation challenges and still remain in a competitive position?

One solution would be to use an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture that provides a separate path for non-control data that goes around the traditional process control network. It is flattening the traditional Purdue/ISA99 architecture into an enterprise model.

Perhaps the “sweet spot” for IIoT implementations are in areas such as equipment health, corrosion and production chemical management.

The transitions to “brownfields” means that operators have different priorities than when they were operating new fields. Field automation systems must address the asset integrity management issues of a “brown field” environment so to ensure long term performance of Figure 4 - Conventional ISA99 Model the field. This can be done by using field automation to capture corrosion, well integrity and equipment reliability information. Field automation also needs to help provide better enhanced production recovery methods resulting in increased EUR (Estimated Ultimate Recovery). This is driving automation control into the field for optimization of enhanced recovery devices such as pump jacks and electrical submersible pumps (ESP). This addition data is also needed to gauge the performance of the various intervention methods to optimize the investments in well interventions.

New Data Implies New Problems Another huge implication is that field automation systems must scale to handle the tidal wave of new data.

Some well sites can generate up to a terabyte of data per day. Field automation systems must evolve to be able to communicate, store, analyze, and visualize these new data. Conventional systems are too expensive to expand and do not scale to this new world of big data.

Also the backend data storage systems must be more than a conventional historian to be able to deal with the volume of data both in terms of the number of wells and in the types of data such as waveforms.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS

Digital Oilf ields – Why Wireless I/Os ?

Written by Telinstra Wireless is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves carry the signal over the entire communication path. The wireless method of communication uses low-powered radio waves to transmit data between devices.

Wireless technology plays a very important role in the day-to-day operations of almost all of the manufacturing and production industry.

Spread spectrum radios with I/O expansion modules connect remote instrumentation in the field. In Industrial automation now the focus has shifted from hardwired cables to wireless I/Os to create secure, reliable and robust networks. The data transmitted includes temperature, pressure, flow, level, alarms and signals generated to actuate final control elements, such as valves.

Initially due to various concerns regarding reliability

5. More diagnostics information are available simultaneously at real times. In case of communication failure the I/O slave will control its outputs based on the failsafe default condition.

6. Proactive maintenance can be done from geographically diverse location.

Wireless I/O solutions offer a significant opportunity to turn more data into information and knowledge across geographically dispersed assets, leading to optimized productivity, improved safety and asset reliability. This information is of significant importance to companies who want to create and maintain a competitive advantage.

,robustness and security, Wireless I/O where not as much common within the oil field production sectors but due to advancement in technology things have started to change.

Advantages of Wireless I/O 1. In comparison to Wireless, Wired communication system requires more cost (Trenching, Conduits and Permits) and extensive maintenance.

2. Deployment of a wireless I/O system is very fast as it involves only the end points to be installed and configured.

3. It offers a cost effective, scalable solution for configuring an additional I/O points to controller system with minimal programming and set up.

4. Wired systems are prone to Corrosion, Humidity, Temperature and other environmental hazards hence can result in production loss on wire failure.

INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM CYBER SECURITY

How to securely bridge the gap between ICS/ SCDA OT and Corporate IT? The business case for connecting OT and IT Critical Infrastructure companies and organizations have usually two separate and fundamentally different networks: on one hand their regular corporate IT enabling all their support functions such as payroll, HR, procurement, etc., and on the other hand the network hosting their production processes such as SCADA, DCS or in general Industrial Control Systems Operation Technology, ICS OT. Even if today these two types of networks rely on the same COTS technologies such as TCP/IP and MS Windows servers, they are still very different in nature. Corporate IT cybersecurity focuses on the CIA trio: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.

ICS cybersecurity must protect first and foremost the availability and the integrity of the networks and systems controlling and, more importantly, insuring the safety of the industrial process they control. Whereas corporate employees can comfortably perform their function without the corporate network for few minutes (they can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while waiting), the Industrial Control System must shutdown the plant if the OT network is unavailable even for a few seconds. The loss of production and the time to restart the process would easily cost few millions USD to hundred millions USD for large plants. Moreover, the Confidentiality of data on the ICS OT network is not a major concern because most of the data are meaningless for everyone except the Control Systems of the plant.

Nevertheless Corporate IT users, when they finished their favorite hot beverage, may require production information to perform trend analysis, to do the billing or other production related applications. Therefore the challenge is to provide Corporate IT users with data from ICS OT while preserving the Availability and the Integrity of the ICS OT. The pros and cons of the classical cyber security solutions The first and the usual solution to protect the ICS OT is the Air Gap, aka Sneaker Net for the people who remember floppy disks. Basically, there is no connection whatsoever between Corporate IT and ICS OT. The data required by corporate users are copied on USB memories or DVD-ROM and manually transported to the Corporate IT network to be uploaded. This is not a real-time data exchange, it requires a lot of manpower performing not the most interesting job. The perception, that Air Gap is the ultimate cyber security, is totally wrong. In general, the USB memories used to transfer the data are not discarded after the transfer and are used over and over to do the transfer. If the corporate network has malware, it can easily infect the USD memory which in turn will infect the OT network once reconnected to it.

We have seen customer’s OT networks which have more virus than on Internet. Moreover malware on Air Gap OT networks are harder to clean because of the lack of patching and the difficulty of updating the anti-virus software.

INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM CYBER SECURITY The second solution is to use firewalls at the edge of the OT network so that all connections between OT and IT go through a Firewall. Often there is a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between OT and IT protected by firewalls to act as a buffer between the two networks. All connections from IT have to terminate in the DMZ and can’t directly access the OT network. That the best practice and it does offer some security. The real issue is that the firewalls themselves are very vulnerable. http:// cve.mitre.org/ is the website publishing all the publicly known vulnerabilities of all IT products. The leading brand of Firewalls which are supposed to protect your infrastructure have dozen of vulnerabilities and most of them have default hard-coded login/password. These are known as back door to enable Security Services and well informed hackers to get administrative access to them. This defeats totally their purpose, it’s like having a million dollar safe but there is one single master key worldwide. Or this is as efficient as setting your nuclear missile launch code authorization to 00000000. Don’t laugh, it was the default for many years in the US. Why firewalls are so vulnerable? Because they are build using an operating system, best case scenario some flavor of Linux, which has vulnerabilities, software which has bugs and vulnerabilities, and configurations which are not secure by default. Even if your firewall was setup properly, and it’s a big if, its configuration has the tendency to drift and the firewall will end up looking as a piece of Swiss cheese: full of holes.

The FOX IT Data-Diode: a game changer So you have actual requirements, which you can’t ignore, to bridge Corporate IT and ICS OT networks, but the usual cybersecurity solutions are ineffective to protect your critical infrastructure which is a target for competent and properly funded/motivated hackers: what to do?

It’s near impossible to secure your Corporate IT networks because of its complexity and openness. The question is not if Corporate IT will be compromised but when it will be hacked and how devastating the impact will be. Therefore you need to be 100% sure, not 99.9% sure, that no hacker can jump from IT to OT. This is why you need to easily transfer data from ICS OT to Corporate IT with a device, being 100% sure, that whatever happens, nothing can be transfer from IT to OT. The FOX IT Data Diode is a layer-1 one-way pure hardware device, which guarantees that data are transferred from OT to IT while it’s physically impossible to send anything through the Diode from IT to OT. The Diode is a new class of product: it has no Operating System, no firmware, no logic, and no configuration. It is a fairly simple device, hence its beauty. There is only a fiber optic connection in and wired to an electronic 78 | Automation

| MAY 2016

transceiver that converts light to electric signal, then a light emitter connected to a single strand of optical fiber out.

It’s physically impossible to send information backward because on the Corporate IT side of the Diode there is only one emitter and no receiver.

The FOX IT Data Diode is the only device in the world certified EAL7+ with the Common Criteria. The best firewalls are certified EAL4+. Because the FOX IT Data Diode has no configuration it can’t be misconfigured: either it works or it doesn’t, there is no maybe. You can give administrative access to the best hacker in the world, Neo obviously, and he won’t be able to send data from IT to OT through the Diode because it’s physically impossible.

You may think “that’s nice but none of my application on IT or OT is compatible with one-way traffic: they all rely on two-way applications and protocols such as TCP/IP.” If you don’t think so, that’s probably because you need a caffeinated beverage.

Actually, the Diode is compatible with most protocols and industrial applications as far as the communication is one-way from a business perspective. A proxy on the OT side of the Diode will translate two-way protocols into a one-way communication and send the data one-way through the Diode. At the IT side of the Diode, another proxy will pick up the data, translates them back to two-way protocols and sends them to the IT network.

FOX IT Data Diodes have been successfully deployed in the GCC with Oil & Gas companies, Airports, and governmental organizations. In Europe they also protect Nuclear Power Plants, Electricity Distribution networks, and many other critical infrastructures.

We hope that we have piqued your interest and we’re available for more details on www.gsn.ae.

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. migrates and upgrades complete network and control solution deploying Integrated Architecture for now and the future Global Solutions team from Rockwell Automation tackles complex and widespread plant upgrade, delivering a solution that conquers multiple business and technological issues Challenge Alba needed to replace its significant legacy control solution and networks, but needed to do so with as little impact in the smooth running of its vital Calciner & Marine plant Solutions A Rockwell Automation solution was installed, which included: • 80 ControlLogix chassis • 70 Stratix switches • 50 Allen-Bradley ControlLogix L73 PACs • 500 I/O modules • 1,000 cable and conversion kits • 70 Ethernet modules • 8 Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus HMIs • FactoryTalk AssetCentre • Dedicated on- and off-site Global Solutions support • Full project management, design, installation and commissioning Results • Up to date, state-of-the-art automation equipment.

• Support requirements minimised through the use of open technology • Obsolescence risks minimised through clearly defined asset management migration paths • Modular and flexible solution to meet future requirements • Less downtime due to legacy product failure Background Rockwell Automation Global Solutions engineers from no less than seven different countries have recently worked in partnership to undertake a hugely significant migration project for Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba).

The Alba Calciner Plant, owned and operated by Alba, is part of one of the largest single-site aluminium smelters in the world; and the first smelter to be set-up in the Middle East. The site comprises two campuses the aluminium smelter and the Calciner & Marine Terminal.

The Calciner & Marine Terminal is a highly mechanised and automatic plant, which handles all the important raw materials for Alba such as Alumina, Green Petroleum Coke (GPC) and Liquid Pitch. It also produces as much as 550,000 metric tonnes of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) from Green Petroleum Coke and desalinated 80 | Automation

| MAY 2016

The Calciner & Marine Terminal is a highly mechanised and automatic plant, which handles all the important raw materials for Alba water from the sea water. The upgrade project, which was established to address obsolescence and downtime issues, saw the complete replacement of an extremely complex and dispersed legacy PLC solution with one deploying contemporary control technology and networks. The solution, which leveraged and exploited the capabilities of the Integrated Architecture® system from Rockwell Automation, has now brought the plant right up to date and gives ALBA the scope to expand and enhance its operation much more easily.

Challenge The Calciner & Marine terminal plays a vital role in supply of raw material to the Alba smelter, as a result, any breakdown could cause major operational issues and prolonged production outage in the Alba smelter.

The existing outdated control system – older AllenBradley® PLC5 and SLC 500 PLCs that relied on legacy DH+™, ControlNet™ and DeviceNet™ network for communication – was difficult to maintain, due to the limitations of the legacy communication network and the unavailability of spares. The HMI solution employed Allen-Bradley PanelView™ 1000 and PanelView 1400e HMIs, which had, by this stage, also become obsolete.

Failures in the overloaded ControlNet network had already caused several trips, causing large production outages in the past. In this regard it was felt that that a technology upgrade was urgently needed in order to provide high availability, better maintainability and improved performance. The existing design of the control

INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM CYBER SECURITY system was based on all the PLCs communicating using a redundant ControlNet backbone. The addition of any new components required the rescheduling and restart of ControlNet – a fact that also placed severe restrictions on the addition of expansion and modifications. With regards to the upgrade, each and every legacy controller was crucial to the plant’s operation and ran on its own dedicated (and complicated) network; therefore the engineers had to swap networks on the fly to keep the plant running. These issues were compounded by the sheer scale of the plant and the extremely limited downtime they had to get the plant fully operational, albeit with a new control architecture.

A defined upgrade path was put into place to replace all the PLCs and HMIs and to redesign the communication network by replacing the existing DH+, ControlNet and DeviceNet network with a standard, single EtherNet/ IP™ network. To keep the costs down, it was decided to utilise the existing ControlNet fibre optic cable for the new Ethernet network. The PLC software also had to be migrated using current engineering standards and best practices. Since the plant is required to be operational 24/7, obtaining a suitable downtime window for such a large upgrade proved difficult. Also, during the transition phase, newly commissioned systems were required to communicate with the existing old system in order to keep the plant operating; this significantly increased the complexity of the upgrade.

Solution The first step in the migration programme from the Rockwell Automation Global Solutions engineers was the development of a migration strategy that allowed Alba to quickly and easily migrate 33 systems from PLC5 and SLC500 controllers to an Integrated Architecture based solution, while still maintaining the existing field wiring and physical footprint in Alba’s control cabinet.

The strategy also had to keep production disruption to

a minimum by migrating parts of the plant, while other parts were still in production.

The next step involved the retro-analysis of the existing PLC programs and the formulation of a Detailed Design Specification (DDS). This subsequently lead to the creation and validation of new Global Engineering Modularity (GEMS) programming libraries, which are capable of being supported by any Rockwell Automation engineer in any country. Once the groundwork had all been established the migration plan was formulated and included a risk assessment and a cutover strategy as well as a detailed migration schedule. Unlike many other upgrade projects, which can deploy intuitive migration tools from Rockwell Automation, the engineers in this project could not simply convert the code through Logix; they had to strip out all the original device code and then apply GEMs modules to the PLC 5 structure, but within the Logix platform, while still being able to maintain the familiar operation sequence.

Like the system before, they were able to integrate all the operations and visuals into RSView 32 – essentially allowing the line-side operators to carry on as if nothing had changed within their HMI environment. The result was a software infrastructure that was standardised across the entire plant, replacing one that had before been 60% standard and the rest bespoke as new components had been added. Product engineering then commenced with applicationspecific development for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® programmable automation controllers (PACs) and the newer-model PanelView HMIs, alongside applicationspecific modifications to RSView.

Product engineering then commenced with applications specific development for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® programmable automation controllers (PACs) and the newer-model PanelView HMIs, alongside applications specific modifications to RSView Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) was undertaken off site, prior to the commencement of on-site services in Bahrain, which included hardware installation into existing panels, network installation and validation and phased site commissioning; all of which were followed by site acceptance tests (SAT). All 33 migrated systems were designed around ControlLogix PACs for redundant and non-redundant configuration, coupled to ControlLogix rack I/O or Flex I/O over the EtherNet/IP network.

The network was designed as a resilient EtherNet protocol (REP) EtherNet/ IP network, which uses Cisco and Stratix 2000 switches, for the communication between the existing RSView 32 redundant servers; and a Device Level Ring (DLR) EtherNet/IP network, which provides communication between the switches, PACs and the I/O. In total the complete installation comprised 80 ControlLogix chassis; 70 Stratix switches; 50 ControlLogix L73 PACs; 500 I/O modules, 1,000 cable and conversion kits components; 70 Ethernet modules and eight PanelView Plus HMIs. During installation, obsolete I/Os were replaced using dedicated migration kits.

Existing Flex I/O modules were also replaced, moving from ControlNet to the new EtherNet/IP network. All of the existing operator interfaces were replaced by newer PanelView Plus 6 HMIs, which were also directly connected to the EtherNet/IP DLR. FactoryTalk® AssetCentre was deployed and configured to provide a secure backup capability for all systems. This was a truly international effort and involved specialist Global Solutions engineers from the UK, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and the Global Engineering Centre in India. From a support perspective, network validation was provided from Portugal and the UK (from the Rockwell Automation Network & Security Group), with FactoryTalk AssetCentre support coming from Germany.

On-site support was provided by Mark Nellist, a senior site engineer from Rockwell Automation, who was on site, full time, for some 10 to 11 months. Nellist was supported by a large team of engineers including Alan Williams, who as well as providing engineering support also coordinated all of the Global Solutions team members in their various roles. Due to production scheduling certain migrations had to be grouped together. For the most complex migration phase, nine engineers were onsite to migrate 10 controllers within a 14 day window.

“The new contemporary solution will mitigate many of the risks associated with support requirements thanks to its use of open technology.”

The migration strategy allowed Alba to quickly and easily migrate 33 systems from PLC-5 and SLC500 controllers to an Integrated Architecture-based solution

Results According to Abbas Yousif Ahmed, Superintendent for Process Automation Systems at Alba: “The upgrade was successfully carried out by a dedicated Rockwell Automation team, many of whom were stationed at the plant for the duration of the project. As a result, the Calciner & Marine Terminal is now fully equipped with upto- date technology, control systems and networks.

It will not only significantly increase the uptime of the control system but also decrease the response time to provide any further modifications and enhancements as required by operation. The new contemporary solution will also mitigate many of the risks associated with support requirements,” he continues, “thanks to its use of open technology. Obsolescence issues will also be tackled by a clearly defined asset management migration path. We also have greater flexibility for expansion thanks to the modularity and flexibility of the solution.”

Upon discussing the relationship with the Rockwell Automation team, Abbas adds: “Several interactions were held between Rockwell Automation and Alba at every stage of the project – design, development and commissioning – with our requirements and suggestions being listened to and taken in. This helped to deliver a solution that seamlessly met our requirements. It wouldn’t have been possible without the mutual cooperation and swift support of the Rockwell Automation project team. They also continue to provide off-site support to help ensure the smooth operation of the Calciner & Marine plant.”

Ahmed concludes: “We want to have real faith in the technology we deploy, with the significantly reduced risk of major problems. We went directly through Rockwell Automation and its Global Solutions team to achieve this. Indeed, we are standardised on Rockwell Automation products for level one and level two. This was the first part of the upgrade, eventually we will cover the whole smelter. From a personal perspective Mark Nellist became part of our team, he was like one of our friends – very much part of our group.”

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY & SIS

Gas Detector Placement Evolution James McGlone, CMO, Kenexis In the past, development of a numerical method of placement of gas detectors was always viewed as a problem which was “too difficult to solve”. There are a large number of unknown’s that will affect the dispersion of a gas release. Process conditions, release location/ direction, confinement/congestion due to process equipment and local geography and meteorological conditions will all play a role in dispersion.

Standards exist which relate to fire and gas detection systems. However, they fail to provide an adequate answer to the question “How many detectors do I need, and where do I place them?” Many guidance documents simply state that fixed gas detection systems should be considered and installed where deemed necessary.

Some guiding documents provide direction regarding elevations at which detectors should be installed, referencing the molecular weight of the process gas relative to air but do not provide guidance with regards to the number of detectors required. Detector manufacturers make an attempt to provide some guidance, but appear cautious to avoid additional liability.

As a result, seasoned experts used rules of thumb and previous experience to select where detectors should be placed based on the machine, process, and circumstances. The problem was that each seasoned expert had a different idea of how many were required and where they should be located. This resulted in similar processes or machines with more or less detectors without justification to support the difference.

Following the 1988 Piper Alpha Incident, there was a flurry of joint research efforts by offshore operating companies and the UK Health and Safety Executive (UK HSE) relating to combustible gas hazards in offshore facilities. Research primarily focused on the mechanics of a vapor cloud explosion (VCE). A significant finding from one of these reports has become a mainstay in the design of combustible gas detection systems offshore.

In 1993, the UK HSE issued OTO 93 002 – Offshore Gas Detector Siting Criterion Investigation of Detector Spacing. This report recommended that combustible gas detectors be installed on a 5m (16ft) grid as shown in Diagram 1. This recommendation was based on a finding of OTO 93 002 relating to the minimum burning distance required for a vapor cloud fire to transition from a low velocity “flash fire”, to a high velocity “vapor cloud explosion”. When ignited, a vapor cloud will burn outward in all directions until all available combustible gas is consumed. Near the point of ignition, the flame speed is low. As the cloud burns, the flame front accelerates. Higher flame speeds result in larger 84 | Automation

Diagram 1

pressure disturbances as the atmosphere in front of the flame is compressed. The UK HSE report found that flame speeds in excess of 100 meters per second have the potential to result in overpressure effects significant enough to generate a VCE. It was determined that this flame speed is reached at a burning distance of 7m (23 ft). Logic thereby it was dictated that if we limit the size of the cloud that could hide between detectors without being detected, we could potentially prevent significant damage. In order to ensure that cloud would always be detected by at least one detector, UK HSE determined that the detectors should be placed on a 5m (16ft) grid like in Diagram 1. Even though this was a rule of thumb, it was quickly adopted as a prescriptive design practice and is in use many places today.

A few challenges appeared using the 5m grid method.

First, it only worked with point detectors and new open path detector technology was promising for certain applications. Second, it did not discriminate from one area of the process or plant to another area without leak sources. This resulted in many detectors, maybe more than were required, on offshore platforms and in process facilities. Additionally, the 5m grid system only applied to combustible gases and can’t be applied to placement of detectors for toxic gases, for example hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

The 5m grid method also does not take into account less reactive or highly reactive hydrocarbon gas or confinement scenarios. It was a good starting point, but limitations were obvious quickly driving the evolution to what is referred to as fire and gas mapping today.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY & SIS FIRE AND GAS MAPPING The simplest form of fire and gas mapping is referred to a geographic fire and gas mapping. In geographic mapping a release is assumed be equally likely to occur from any point within the area being modeled.

Therefore, if the intent of the gas detection system is to detect any gas cloud greater than 5 meters in diameter, any area within 2.5 meters of a detector will result in a detected release. Take for example an offshore wellbay as shown in Diagram 2.

Diagram 3

Diagram 2.

Diagram 3.

In Diagram 3, an array of point gas detectors has been provided in the area of the wellheads. The area of coverage is shown in yellow in this diagram, green for two detector coverage areas. The uncovered area is represented in red. In geographical coverage, the cloud is represented as a spherical outline around each well head and the detectors. This type of calculation was easy to do since the point detector manufactures published their effectiveness and the cloud could be assumed based on the UK HSE analysis. This evolved into computer software that could calculate the coverage areas and discern between one and two detector areas using color coding. The software then calculated the fraction of the area covered by one or two detectors. The benefit of this type of geographic coverage calculation was that different size clouds in different scenarios could be analyzed. Additionally, this approach allowed for limiting coverage to areas where hazards existed. Consequently, this is the most common method used today, but it is evolving also.

In some cases, we should focus on critical areas and limit efforts in non-critical areas, UK HSE states that “Hydrocarbon release statistics (OTO 99 079 and Pratt, 2001) show that gas leaks are the most common type of

release (56% of all releases) with oil releases (16%) and non-process releases (11%) also significant. Pipework is the most significant leak source (61% of all leaks).� New technologies allow more robust analysis. By moving to scenario coverage versus the geographical coverage method described above, we are able to include leak characteristics, dispersion modeling, fluid dynamics, the material contained, obstructions, and atmospheric conditions in the calculations. In this case the intent is to calculate the fraction of release scenarios that are covered versus just the geographical area. In Diagram 4, a leak scenario has been defined for a well head.

By considering more of the characteristics of the equipment, contained material, leak characteristics, obstructions, and modeling the cloud based on the scenario using dispersion modeling, we can compare detector locations against modeled scenarios and obstructions to see if the leak is actually detectable.

The cloud is then released in many directions arround the axis and the effect of wind direction in Diagram 5 is considered in the process. This increases and decreases the severity in certain areas.

In a continuous probability dispersion modeling , or Diagram 8 Gaussian dispersion modeling, you get a mathematical model of the dispersion curves at distance from the source X1 along a center line as represented by X2 and X3 in Diagram 6 below. This math creates a bell curve density solution at points relative to the distance from the source. As you move further away, the amplitude of the curve decreases and the distance covered increases as represented in the simplified graph.

Running the software model based on the scenario in Diagram 3, 4 and 5 including the detectors shown, the resulting uncovered possible leaks can be easily identified in Diagram 7. In addition to a graphical representation of scenarios covered, the software can also provide quantitative results shown in Diagram 7a.

If we placed an obstacle in the path near X2, the dispersion model is no longer relevant as shown in Diagram 6. Now the dispersion model is no longer continuously proportional and might look like Diagram 8. Additionally, placing the leak inside an enclosed space, the shape of the cloud is driven almost entirely by the air handling system. In these cases, it is better to consider the problem using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to determine the size and shape of the cloud. This is harder to determine, but the principles are the same once the cloud is understood for the scenario.

Detectors are appropriately placed in the 3D model, using experience and detector characteristics, and then the cloud is assessed for detector coverage. This is intensive work and typically limits the CFD assessment to zones including 6 – 10 scenarios.

86 | Automation

| MAY 2016

Considering the 3D model, it is necessary to reduce the number of variables. By considering the space in planes at selected increments, the computational effort is reduced. For instance, knowing every aspect of a gaseous cloud in a 3D model continuously throughout the model is not required today since the level of analysis is many magnitudes better than previous methods.

Consequently, the model is sliced in horizontal planes at a selected increment, in the case in Diagram 9, at the floor level and the same results are presented. This also allows the analysis to be presented in a method that is easily understood using color coding on each plane.

CONCLUSION As we continue to develop better methods, the amount of scenarios grows into thousands to be considered and a richness to the data that results in too much analyst effort.

As the problem gets bigger, will it drive people back to rules of thumb if we don’t further develop the software to run these calculations.

By making the analyst software 3D capable and including CAD and laser scanning model import for equipment and obstructions, including computational fluid dynamics, dispersion modeling, and allowing for other variables like meteorological data in the analysis will make the use of scenario based modeling common.

In addition to geographic coverage, Effigy’s scenario coverage maps provide a risk profile that combines thousands of possible scenarios in a zone. Effigy provides a mitigated risk profile that only maps scenarios that are not detected by the detector array. The results are plotted as color-coded isopleths of constant release frequency with a tabulated calculation of the fraction of the scenarios that are detected.

Bangladesh cricket hero and Etihad crew bat for slum children 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 MsKernova, who jointly founded the project with a friend, Sunil Baroi, six years ago.

“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.”

| MARCH 2016 | MAY 2016

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, MsKernova’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
