Dear DMS Members, It’s that time of year again when the oil and gas industry comes together in Abu Dhabi for ADIPEC with over 85,000 Attendees, 2,000 Exhibitors and 600 Speakers DMS Automation INSIGHT! will be there in full force as we are proud to be one of the official publications that will be distributed to everyone.

Furthermore DMS Cybernation created the ADIPEC TV Commercial that is being aired on CNBC and Sky News Arabia.

We are grateful to Pierre DeVuyst – Director & Senior Executive Vice President Middle - Yokogawa for gracing the front cover and being the featured interview of our special ADIPEC issue especially as it is a tribute by DMS Global for their 100 Year Anniversary. Congratulations Yokogawa.

Kind regards, Mo Loch President and CEO DMS Global First Word!

Happy Birthday Yokogawa! You will see that much of this issue is dedicated to Yokogawa to help celebrate their centenary. I am interest to see that they have extended their Network I/O (N I/O) concept to the Safety Instrumented System and will release their latest version of their Prosafe product range to include these I/O capabilities later this month. I’m sure they will have these demonstrated on their stand during ADIPEC and I will certainly be there to learn more. N I/O is simply virtualised digital marshalling where field signals are directed to the required destination using software rather than cables and were pioneered by Emerson. Such universal I/O modules have become the industry norm due to their ability to reduce hardware footprint and to restrict module designs to a few rather than many due to the previous need to have one for each I/O signal type and by doing so they have helped to reduce costs.

These are a great technological advancement but to me still hanker to the need for controllers. Perhaps however, due to their common interface functionality, they could actually be just a stepping-stone that warms the end-user to the possibility of control in the field with gateways rather than a combination of controller and I/O interface to allow the operators and plant managers to view data in real-time directly from the field devices that are communicating with each other to organise the control amongst themselves, ie. a truly distributed control system.

Of course cyber security will play a major part in the future as more open technologies are used to allow this architecture to survive but energy efficiency will also play a major part as well and the use of fewer modules and no controllers will allow this to happen naturally. The controller may become redundant in the true sense of the word!

DMS ANALYTIC Takreer - Processing Offshore Crude Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) has been established in 1999 with purpose of managing the downstream oil refining activities for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) group.

Amongst a number of developments that have been offering both strategic and economic advantages for the ADNOC group of companies, Takreer has decided to take advantage of the flexibility of design of currently commissioned, refinery expansion project at Ruwais.

The refinery, which incorporates a processing capacity of 417,000 bpsd of onshore murban crude, will therefore be modified to process heavier offshore crude. The murban crude, which is used for feeding the new facilities, will be replaced by offshore crude from Upper Zakum fields and will be transferred by subsea pipeline to onshore area. The project will modify RRE and CBDC Facilities to process 420,000 bpsd of Offshore Crude from Upper Zakum instead of Murban Crude.

From a front-end engineering design (FEED) perspective, the related key components and activities have been carried out by the Bechtel team of engineers and overseen by Worley Parsosns who has been assigned as the project management consultant. The FEED works have focused on crude assay characterization, revamp process simulations, as well as the application of associated systems and processes. With FEED completed, Takreer has yet to select companies to carry out the engineering,

| NOVEMBER 2015

procurement and construction (EPC) and the project management consultancy (PMC) works. Various renowned international companies involved in the bidding process for the identified contracts have triggered anticipation of the industry.

The scope of work involves areas such as treatment, through new de-sulfurization processes for distillate and residue streams produced, which is required due to higher residue yield of the Upper Zakum offshore crude and contaminants compared to Murban. Hence, there will be an addition of a 177,000bpsd atmospheric residue de-sulfurization units and supporting facilities. The scope of works also includes existing RRE and CBDC modification and works related to utilities including power, water and steam.

Additional units are also to be implemented. These include hydrogen manufacturing units and saturated gas plant. Furthermore, the additional units consist of atmospheric residue de-sulfurization unit and sour water stripper. Amine regeneration unit, sulfur recovery units and tail gas treating unit will also be applied to the project scope. Modified units required will include sea water system, crude distillation unit, saturated gas plant and saturated LPG splitter. The LGO diesel hydro-treating unit will also be installed under UOP license, which also applies to the HGO/LCO mild hydro-treating unit, which will be incorporated within the project scope of work.

ENOC Jebel Ali Refinery Capacity Expansion Dubai Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) has announced plans to pursue the expansion of the Jebel Ali Refinery, which is located in Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai.

ENOC has been operating the Jebel Ali Refinery since 1999. Designed to build and operate 120,000 barrels per stream day, the refinery was the first of its kind in Dubai.

Through processing condensate or light crude oil, ENOC provides projects such as naphtha, jet oil, reformate, diesel, oil, fuel oil and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) for local consumption as well as international exporting. As a result of the implementation of the refinery, the UAE’s total capacity increased by 60%.

Seeing the room for improvement, ENOC made a decision to launch plans to upgrade the existing facilities and consequently increase production. In effect, US based Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) has been selected in 2014 to carry out the front-end engineering design (FEED) works for the refinery expansion. The FEED has been successfully completed and the new expansion has been designed to increase the capacity of Jebel Ali Refinery by 20,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 140,000 barrels per day (bpd).

With two condensate distillation unit trains already available at the existing refinery, the upgrade project will contribute to addition of new processing units, which

include jet and diesel hydro treaters and an isomerisation unit. The isomerisation will lead to the production of Euro V grade products, which include high-octane gasoline, low-sulfur jet fuel and ultra-low sulfur diesel. The overall expansion process, often referred to as debottlenecking, will not only improve the overall capacity of the refinery, it will also contribute to the improvement of the flow of the operation. With the refinery location existing at the Jebel Ali port, strategically placed as Dubai’s main shipbuilding hub for general cargo and for oil product shipments, the project inhabits a clear potential and importance.

The UAE is currently seeing an evident trend of refinery expansions with purpose of meeting the domestic and regional requirements of rising fuel demands as a consequence of the development of the country itself.

The Jebel Ali Refinery Expansion, amongst a number the other industry expansion developments, is currently facing the tendering phase for the engineering, procurement and construction contract. With the credibility of an estimated $ 1 billion engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, the project has captured industry attention.

With numerous prominent international companies interested and involved within the bidding process, the technical proposals are expecting to be submitted in mid December 2015.

Saudi Aramco – Maintain Potential Program (MPP) In 2013, Saudi Arabia’s oil & gas frontrunner, Saudi Aramco, establishes a scheme to keep their onshore and offshore in check. The scheme would later on be revealed to be known as “MPP - Maintain Potential Program”. Divided into two, one for onshore and the other for offshore, the two Maintain Potential Programs were primed to provide, both old and new, upstream facilities to withstand oil and gas production from newly developed and existing oil fields. On top of that, Saudi Aramco’s extensive operations are expected to maintain production on the mature gulf fields over the next decade as hundreds of new wells will require drilling in order to support the other operations in nearby oil fields. In 2010, the onshore Maintain Potential Program has brought into realization the connection of 84 new oil and water wells, increasing oil production capacity by nearly 232,000 barrels per day (Bpd) whilst also completing 66 new gas wells leading to the increase in gas production capacity by approximately 1.14 standard cubic feet per day (scfd) Saudi Aramco has extensive offshore operations on its Gulf coast that includes Safaniya, the world’s largest offshore oil field, as well as several large non-associated gas fields.

Many of the Gulf fields are mature and likely to require extensive rehabilitation over the next decade to maintain production. Every year, hundreds of new wells need to be drilled to maintain operations in shallow-water fields.

The offshore Maintain Potential Program emphasized the installation and integration of down-hole instrumentation, multiphase flow meter and remote terminal units on 60 existing offshore production platforms which is essential to supporting the company’s intelligent field initiative to 6 | Automation

enable real-time reservoir performance monitoring. It was during this time when the world’s first 5-km shore pull for dual pipelines was performed. The critical Safaniya crude trunk-line system was completed to maintain the field master plan for offshore in which precise installation on the pipelines lead to a less disruptive horizontal directional drilling to the environment completely disregarding the need for seafloor dredging.

Today, in the year 2015, the scope of work for both onshore & offshore still involves the connecting of new wells, monitoring and testing well systems, building of pipelines to transport crude oil and gas to processing facilities and drilling support structures. The grommet slings that is being utilized for the offshore MPP, have a lifting capacity of over 4000 metric tons, will include dimensions of 192 mm and 164 mm diameter slings in various lengths and will provide heavy lift slings for offshore oil drilling and rigging.

Additional installing of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Remote Terminal Units (RTU), fiber optic cable, optical transmission equipment, Ethernet and SCADA/RTU systems in the onshore oil fields for three years and transportation of oil & gas barrels from oil & gas wells to refineries. The project completion is slated for Q2 2021.

Saudi Aramco - Midyan Gas Processing Plant A major theme in the last 12 months’ oil and gas press has been that of Saudi Arabia’s titanic struggle to hold its market share against the onslaught of the huge U.S. supply increases from shale gas. The year ended with the Saudis projecting a US$40 billion budget deficit in 2015 and then came the announcement of US$27 billion of bond issues by the end of the year to bolster the finances, and that after a string of project cancellations and postponements.

However, the Saudi Arabian oil and gas industry remains in the eye of the storm and still offers a growth opportunity for companies seeking to rebalance their activities from higher production cost regions. In a month in which Baker Hughes has declared that the global rig count for July 2015 stood at 2,167 from the 3,608 figure for July 2014, Saudi Aramco has challenged its supply chain to increase the rig count in the country by 30% from the current 120 rigs in operation. This demonstrates Saudi Aramco’s determination to at least hold its 12 million barrels per day production capacity for many years to come, and that it has no intention to lose market share to U.S. shale or Iranian crude.

Saudi Arabia’s oil & gas Titan, Saudi Aramco, plans to develop a gas processing plant at the Midyan nonassociated gas field located in the Tabuk region. The Midyan Gas Plant is Saudi Aramco’s first such project in the Kingdom’s northwest.

The Midyan field, discovered in the early 1990s during Red Sea coastal plain exploration, was studied to identify ways to optimize economic production. The aim of the project is to reduce the burning of crude oil for power generation in the northwest of the Kingdom in the summer months.

Midyan is designed to produce and process 75 million scfd of nonassociated gas and 4,500 bpd of condensate. At yearend, engineering for the gas processing facility was 93% complete while procurement and construction activities reached 62% and 8% complete, respectively. The Midyan project will include the establishment of two pipelines stretching 98 km to deliver sales gas and stabilized hydrocarbon liquids to the Saudi Electricity Company’s high-efficiency solar thermal power plant near Duba to generate electricity. The feed from Midyan to the plant will displace the use of high-value diesel.

Upon completion, the production capacity of the nonassociated gas field is expected to reach 75The Midyan field has been developed by Aramco to alleviate the burning of crude oil for power generation in the northwest of the kingdom during the summer months. The area has a number of small non-associated gas fields that are also expected to be exploited to provide gas for power generation. Together, Saudi Aramco’s Wasit, Midyan, and Fadhili gas plants will add more than 5 billion scfd of nonassociated gas processing capacity, further enabling opportunities in Saudi industries. Work on the plant commenced in 2013 and the facility is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of 2016.

Qatar Petroleum Unveils Offshore Redevelopment Scheme For Bul Hanine Qatar Petroleum has expressed their plan of investing about US$11 billion in the redevelopment of the existing Bul Hanine offshore oil field located about 120 kilometres to the east of Qatari coastline. The redevelopment project aims to prolong the field’s life by countering its production decline and doubling its current oil production rate. The project would entail the addition of 150 new development wells by 2028.

His Excellency has stated that the redevelopment of Bul Hanine is a key step in capitalizing on Qatar’s hydrocarbon assets and consequently a key element in carrying out the Qatar National Vision as initiated by His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar. The project is an integral part of Qatar Petroleum’s production strategy in maximizing recovery of reserves and boosting oil production capacity.

Qatar Petroleum’s oil fields have been previously developed using older equipment but thanks to the latest advancements in technology, the firm can now effectively reassess the reserves and the long-term production prospects for each field. This has been executed using Improved Oil Recovery Techniques and Full Field Redevelopment Plans, as well as the latest cuttingedge tools and powerful computer modelling. Study for redevelopment includes Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology that will ramp up production from 40,000 to 95,000 b/d and prolong field’s lifespan by 25 years. Moreover, major reservoir and field-wide studies, including seismic surveys, have also been undertaken.

The scope of Bul Hanine redevelopment scheme will

8 | Automation

comprise of new offshore central production facilities and a new onshore gas liquids processing facility at Mesaieed.

New wells will be drilled from the existing and modified well-head jackets, including the 14 new wellhead jackets.

Both new and modified wellhead jackets, in addition to associated production and injection flowlines, will outline parts of the project works.

All wellheads stream fluids will be processed in the new offshore central complex. This would include the production, compression, utility and living quarter platforms, with topsides weight ranging from 4,000 to 14,000 tonnes. Halul Island will be receiving the produced oil from the fields for export. The produced sour rich gas of about 900 million cubic feet per day will pass through a new 150-kilometre subsea pipeline to a new gas treatment facility in Mesaieed for products recovery, where lean sweet gas will be sent via a new subsea pipeline back to the new off-shore facilities for compression and injection.

Last year, Qatar Petroleum has proudly announced their redevelopment plan for Bul Hanine as the largest one to be implemented thus far. The project has been reported to be under pre-FEED stage in May 2014 and regardless of the ongoing oil slump that may threaten the economic viability of the project, the state-owned oil and gas giant remains unfazed. Currently, Qatar Petroleum is preparing to tender invitation to bid for the construction of the new oil platform topsides. In addition to Bul Hanine, the firm has set redevelopment plans for two other oil assets. Next will be the onshore field Dukhan and the offshore Maydan Mahzam.

Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) - Clean Fuels Project - Overview

The Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) was created in the year 1960 and was shared evenly by the private sector and the government. The KNPC came under complete government ownership in 1975, and after a restructuring of the oil sector in 1980, the KNPC became responsible for 3 major refineries in the region; the Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery (MAA), the Mina Abdullah Refinery (MAB), and the Shuaiba Refinery. In February 2012, the “Clean Fuels Project” was announced. This project is meant to upgrade both the Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery and the Mina Abdullah Refinery. The Clean Fuels Project will increase the refining capacity of both refineries, bringing the total combined output to approximately 800,000 barrels per day, decreasing the sulphur content of the petroleum produced by 5%, diversifying the refined oil products produced and decreasing carbon emissions and waste water created as a byproduct of the refining process.

The Clean Fuels Project will be implemented in three simultaneous phases, with Phase One and Two being carried out on the Mina Abdulla Refinery, which consists of 16 units and 27 units respectively. Phase Three will be on the Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery, which consists of 30 units.

Phase One will include; a Crude Distillation Unit, which is designed to process 264,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) of Kuwait Export Crude; a Continuous Catalytic Reformer Unit, which will process 18,000 BPSD of heavy naphtha from an upstream Naphtha Splitter to produce a high octane reformate, which is a main component of the gasoline pool, and a hydrogen rich gas; and a Diesel Hydro 10 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

Treating Unit, which will be used to produce an ultra-low sulfur diesel with a maximum sulfur specification of 7 Parts Per Million by Weight (ppmw) meant for exporting.

Phase Two will implement; a Steam Systems Unit, which will generate steam from a combination of utility boilers to satisfy the steam requirements of the refinery’s Wastewater Treatment Unit, which will recycle water contaminated by the refining process to remove the sulphur content; and a Sour Water Stripper (SWS) unit was designed to separate non-aqueous gas, light hydrocarbons, and oil emulsions from the sour water feed before steam stripping to remove the bulk of the H2S and NH3.

Phase Three on the Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery will include; a Coker Naphtha Hydrotreater Unit, this unit is designed to process 8,400 BPSD of unstabilized full range naphtha into a product of petrochemical grade naphtha; an IC5 Merox Unit, which is designed to remove mercaptans from the isopentane stream to meet the sulfur specification of 10 ppmw; and a Gas Oil Desulphurization Unit, which will be used to produce an ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum sulphur specification of 7 ppmw for export. The unit processes 45,000 BPSD of light straight run (SR) diesel. The overhaul and revamping of these refineries is part of a long term plan for Kuwait to supply diversified oil products to a future international market, whilst simultaneously maintaining high environmental standards. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2018.

Abahsain Fiberglass in $200m JV deal with CPIC China for Fiberglass Plant in the Middle East.

Chinese fiberglass manufacturer, CPIC, is planning to set up a fiberglass manufacturing facility in Bahrain in partnership with Abahsain Fiberglass. The $200 million fiberglass plant will be built in the Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) in Salman Industrial City. The Bahrain project will be built on an area of 78,000 sqm. The new joint venture agreement between Abahsain Fiberglass and CPIC China was signed on the 24 of September 2013 at the BIIP, after the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and CPIC signed a letter of intent, designed to move this project forward. Established in 1991, CPIC is considered one of the main manufacturers of fiberglass, not only in China, but also in global industry. The company produces 600,000 tonnes of fiberglass per year.The CPIC firms have planned to expand the Abahsain company’s existing manufacturing plant in BIIP, which began production in August 2009.

Abahsain Fiberglass is owned by the Abahsain family, originally from Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It is considered to be one of the top 50 family- owned companies in Saudi Arabia. It was one of the first companies to build a US$80 million manufacturing plant in Bahrain at the BIIP in 2007.They commenced manufacturing operations of this plant in 2009. The Bahrain plant is currently equipped with two furnaces and has a capacity of 30,000 tonnes per year. With the second furnace in operation, another 30,000 tonnes will be added. The company plans to produce 60,000 tonnes in the third phase of the project,

and another 60,000 tonnes in the fourth. CIPIC - Abahsain Fiberglass also plans to build a 140,000 tonnes per year (t/y) fiberglass plant and its associated facilities at the BIIP by the end of 2017. The fiberglass is used in a range of products including train carriages, automobile parts and in the construction industry. The CIPIC and Abahsain Fiberglass joint venture was completed at the beginning of 2014.CPIC owned the majority share with 70%,and Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain Company retained the remaining 30 %. Final discussions about the project were made in May of same year, and the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) invitation was due to be released by the end of 2014.However,the EPC invitation was postponed for a year due to delays from the relevant authorities with regards project approval.

CPIC-Abahsain Fiberglass has stated that European distributors will take around 40% of the factory’s output, which includes chopped strand mat, assembled roving, single-end roving and fabrics. A further 25% will be distributed by the Abahsain groups’ chemical division, which supplies the oil, gas, petrochemical, glass and other industries. The remainder of the output will be sold to customers directly.

The new partnership aims to become the leading player in the regional fiberglass market, while boosting the host country’s economy. Moreover, the project development will also create more job opportunities for the locals.

Kuwait’s Clean Fuels Project to Upgrade Two of Its Largest Refineries As a part of Kuwait’s KD30 billion ($99.6 billion) economic development plan, the Clean Fuels Project will upgrade and expand two of its largest existing refineries, Mina Abdulla (MAB) and Mina Al Ahmadi (MAA) refineries, to focus on producing higher-value products such as diesel and kerosene for export.

Upgrade and integration of both refineries will be performed under three separate contract packages, including one at MAA and two at MAB. Modification and installation of 29 units will be performed at the MAA refinery. New components at the refinery will include a vacuum distillation unit (VDU), delayed coker unit (DCU) and an atmospheric residue desulphurisation (ARDS) unit. Other components include a sulphur recovery unit (SRU), gas oil desulphurisation (GOD) unit, and a hydrogen production (HPU) unit.

The first MAB package will involve the installation of 19 new refining units at MAB, the refurbishment of five existing units at the Shouaiba refinery site and installation of inter-refinery transfer lines. The second MAB package will involve the renovation and new installation of 30 units in total.

Foster Wheeler has been appointed for the provision of project management services during the tendering phase for the main EPC contracts, and management of the EPC

contractors through to completion of performance testing.

Fluor has provided the project management consultancy during the front end engineering design (FEED) stage.

The preliminary design, specifications and bill of quantities (BOQ) for the refineries has been prepared

by Engineering Consultants Group (ECG) and the FCC at MAA will be upgraded by Daelim. A joint venture of Hill International and System Development and Project Management will provide consulting services for the project during construction phase. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the first MAB package has previously been awarded to a joint venture of Petrofac, Samsung Engineering and CB&I Nederland in February 2014.

The EPC contract for the second MAB package has been awarded to a joint venture of Hyundai Heavy Industries, Fluor Corporation and Daewoo Engineering & Construction in April 2014 while the EPC contract for MAA package has been awarded to the joint venture of JGC Corporation, GS Engineering & Construction and SK Engineering & Construction.

The project is expected to increase the combined capacity of the refineries from the existing 736,000 barrels per day to 800,000 barrels per day and is due for completion in 2018.

Garmco specialises in producing high quality rolled

ANALYTIC aluminium products with various sizes and alloys including circles, sheets and coils. Fives has successfully established itself as a supplier of machines, process equipment and production lines for some of the world’s largest industrial companies.

The Remelt project duration will run for approximately 21 months, starting September 2015. Once the project has been completed, it will facilitate Garmco to produce 120,000 tonnes of aluminium slabs in addition to its current capacity of 165,000 metric tonnes per annum.

Prior to awarding the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to the Fives Group, Garmco has also received bids from notable international companies such as Italy’s Fata EPC, India’s Technic Systems and UK’s Mechatherm International. Evaluation of the EPC contract bids took four months to be finalized.

The Chairman of Garmco, Mr. Mahmood Al Soufi, has expressed his enthusiasm in collaborating with Fives for this expansion project.

The Remelt Project is an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) turn-key project, which will enable Garmco to develop its metal recycling capability and lower the cost of metal casting.

Project plans have been finalised, feasibility studies have been completed and all necessary permits were arranged in July 2014. The project appears to be progressing well as it is currently being managed internally by Garmco along with the support of a local supplier.

Not only will the project bring a number of advantages for Garmco by generating significant cost savings for the company, it will also create new jobs for the citizens of Bahrain. At present, the company has one of the highest levels of localisation, with Bahrainis making up more than eighty-five percent of the workforce.

One of the main factors that poses a threat to the company’s competitiveness is from Chinese competition entering the market with a significantly lower pricing scheme. Hence, in order for Garmco to maintain profitability, it is crucial for them to focus on reducing overheads, improving their business process and rationalisation of their product portfolio while exploring new markets.

G.C.C. Overview

In the recent days, oil market analysts have been predicting that oil prices have not yet reached bottom and could dip into the $20 per barrel range, meaning bunker prices could also be heading down even further and any recovery through to the end of 2016 will also be minimal, with few believing crude prices next year will be much higher than those seen in 2015. The globally falling crude oil prices have also impacted economic growth in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The GCC economies are set to grow by around 3.4% this year and 3.7% in 2016, which is lower than previous years.

The 6 Gulf countries currently hold 30% of the world’s proven Crude Oil reserves with Saudi Arabia in the lead accounting for 15.7%, Kuwait for 6% and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for 5.8%. Together the GCC countries produced 28.6 million barrels per day in 2014, equivalent to 32.3 per cent of total global production.

Industrial diversification, strong financial buffers and greater integration with world trade have contributed to cushioning the GCC economies from being drastically affected the changing oil prices and reducing the dependence on oil revenues.

UAE’s economy is one of the most diversified among the GCC countries, making it highly resilient to falling oil prices. Hydrocarbon revenues account for 25 per cent of GDP and 20 per cent of total export revenues. The nonoil private sector shows strong growth fuelled by domestic demand and tourism, especially in Dubai. As for Saudi Arabia, while 80 per cent of its export revenues and around 14 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

85 per cent of its budget revenues come from the oil sector, the Kingdom is speeding up its diversification process as the government plans to invest and allocate finances in projects such as transportation infrastructure, energy, utilities and housing.

Kuwait continues to push through with projects in the oil and gas sector despite the falling prices, owing to their high reserve of currency. Qatar has had major oil and gas projects on hold, however it was not due to the drop in oil prices. However, the fall in the oil prices does not affect all the GCC countries similarly. Oman and Bahrain are the two countries in the region most affected by the declining oil process, while Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar seem less impacted.

Meanwhile Oman is studying public spending and the means to reduce it amid the slump in oil prices. Actions are being taken by the government to rationalise the spending and to increase non-oil revenues. Oman is being increasingly precautionary amid the possibility of a further decline of oil prices. Moreover, the Omani government will apply zero-budgeting in the ninth five-year plan of approving allocations for development projects only after the completion of feasibility studies and real costs of the project as it aims to avoid any additional fund request after starting the implementation of the project.

Bahrain is also re-evaluating oil field projects and focusing on the diversification of investments, where more budget is allocated to infrastructure projects. However, no ongoing oil and gas projects have been stalled or cancelled.

Yokogawa Releases Enhanced Version of ProSafe® -RS Safety Instrumented System For Greater Ef ficiency in System Configuration and Engineering

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it will be releasing an enhanced version of the ProSafe®-RS safety instrumented system (SIS) on November 27. This new version, R4.01, features an exciting expansion of Yokogawa’s lineup of I/O devices and introduces crucial new SIS components. In addition, the FieldMate™ Validator software has been enhanced to work with this latest version of ProSafe-RS.

for solutions that will deliver maximum return on assets and minimize total cost of ownership, Yokogawa has continued to strengthen the functions of the ProSafe-RS SIS. With R4.01, plant operators can be assured of an optimum engineering environment that spans the entire plant lifecycle, from plant design and the engineering and installation of systems and devices to the start-up of production, maintenance, and renovation.

Development Background

OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES

In the oil, natural gas, petrochemical, iron & steel, and other energy and basic materials industries, accident prevention and protection of the environment are paramount concerns in plant operations. Accordingly, there is a growing demand for SISs that can detect abnormal conditions and safely initiate emergency shutdowns.

1. N-IO (Network I/O) field I/O device with smart configurable I/O that can handle multiple types of I/O signals

To keep pace with the ever evolving business and technology landscape and respond to customers’ needs 16 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

SISs rely on field I/O devices for the transfer of data to and from sensors, valves, and other types of field instruments.

Using this data, they can detect abnormal conditions and safely initiate emergency shutdowns. Depending on the instrument model, the type of electric signal used to

COMPANY NEWS transfer this data varies. With a conventional FIO device, a compatible I/O module is needed for each signal type.

The N-IO field I/O device developed for use with ProSafe-RS fulfills the functions of smart configurable I/O, enabling software marshalling and flexible I/O assignment.

It has an I/O module that accommodates multiple I/O signal types and allows configuration of an individual signal type for each point. Both analog and digital I/O signals, which account for the majority of I/O signal traffic, can be handled solely through software settings. With the N-IO, it is no longer necessary to replace the I/O module, reducing the amount of rewiring that must be done when changing sensor types and/or layouts during a plant revamp. This significantly reduces the amount of work that has to be performed by plant engineers and maintenance personnel. The N-IO device can also be used together with conventional FIO devices.

In addition, Yokogawa has signed OEM agreements with Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH*1 and MTL Instruments Group Limited*2 under which Yokogawa will receive baseplates and market them as its own products. These will be used in combination with the company’s N-IO modules and intrinsic safety (IS) isolators procured from the two companies. Both partners have solid track records in the development of interface products for use in hazardous areas. This tie-up means Yokogawa is able to ensure that the N-IO conforms to the major IS regulations in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

2. FieldMate™ Validator software tool for use with field I/O instruments to check field device wiring and verify that devices are operating correctly Upon installation of a field instrument and completion of all wiring, the wiring must be checked. Until now, such verification could only be conducted using the SIS’s engineering screen, which required engineers to wait for all field I/O devices to be installed and the entire SIS, including all operation/monitoring stations and system controllers, to be set up.

any newly installed field instrument or field I/O device, has been modified to support ProSafe-RS R4.01. When FieldMate establishes a connection with an N-IO device, the FieldMate Validator tool can check in real time the wiring of all field instruments, based on the control loop I/O information in the SIS’s application software, to verify that they are operating correctly. An industry first, there is no longer the need for the entire SIS to be installed to do this, thus saving significant time and providing added versatility in project execution. FieldMate Validator will be released in early December.

3. Automation Design Suite (AD Suite) integrated engineering environment ProSafe-RS R4.01 features AD Suite, the same engineering environment used with the CENTUM VP integrated control system, allowing the integrated management of CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS data. With this feature, ProSafe-RS engineers can use AD Suite to design the I/O. AD Suite also has functions for managing the change history and recording changes that save time when renovating systems.

Applications/Major Target Markets For use with emergency shutdown systems (ESD), burner management systems (BMS), and fire and gas systems (FGS) in process industries such as oil and natural gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, electric power, pharmaceuticals, and iron and steel About ProSafe-RS Released in February 2005, the ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system helps prevent accidents by detecting abnormal conditions in plant operations and

COMPANY NEWS initiating emergency actions such as a plant shutdown.

An independent certification body has certified that ProSafe-RS conforms to the IEC61508 international safety standard and can be used in SIL3*3 applications. Unlike conventional safety instrumented systems and distributed control systems, which are regarded as having different roles and functions and operate separately, the operation of ProSafe-RS and the CENTUM integrated control system can be fully integrated.

ProSafe-RS is highly regarded by users and has been installed in more than 1,700 projects worldwide over the past 10 years. Yokogawa will continue strengthening the functions of ProSafe-RS to satisfy its customers’ safety instrumented system needs.

Interview with:

Pierre DeVuyst

Director & Senior Executive Vice President Middle East - Yokogawa

20 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

INSIGHT! FEATURE

This year Yokogawa celebrates its 100 year anniversary. How did the company begin and when did it first enter the Middle East Market?

Yokogawa was founded on September 1st 1915 by Dr Tamisuke Yokogawa as an institute to conduct research on electric meters. The enterprise was headed by Ichiro Yokogawa and Shin Aoki, two young Japanese engineers who developed the company into a leading manufacturer of electric meters. They built more and more sophisticated instruments, and moved on to process automation.

Yokogawa’s global expansion started in the 1950’s, entering the Middle East in the 70’s. The first systems in the GCC were supplied in the 80’s, and Yokogawa Middle East was established in Bahrain to support the users in the region in 1990.

Why have you kept Bahrain as the regional centre?

The reason we came to Bahrain is to be able to support the many installations in BAPCO. Bahrain is also very close to Saudi Arabia, our strongest market at the time, and easily accessed across the causeway. Another reason is that we could establish a 100% Yokogawa-owned Company, which was not possible in the other GCC countries at that time.

Bahrain is business-friendly with a very unique geographical location which enables us to access and effectively support customers throughout the region. Over the years, Bahrain has proved to be the ideal location for Yokogawa’s Regional Headquarters.

Has the responsibility of Bahrain increased; are you now in charge of Africa and other parts of the world?

While our prime responsibility was the Middle East, since the last three years, we have expanded to include the entire African continent within our territory.

How long have you been with Yokogawa & what changes have you seen in this industry since you started with the company?

I have been with Yokogawa for 29 years now, this is the only company for which I have ever worked which makes me a very faithful employee and that is due to several good reasons.

I obtained a scholarship to study in Japan, and my professor introduced me to Yokogawa HQ, where I worked for 8 years before moving abroad.

“The reason we came to Bahrain is to be able to support the many installations in BAPCO. Bahrain is also very close to Saudi Arabia, our strongest market at the time, and easily accessed across the causeway”.

NOVEMBER 2015 | Automation

| 21

INSIGHT! FEATURE When I joined it was the end of the Telex era and I didn’t even have a PC. But now, we all use several devices which are more powerful than the PCs of that time.

Understandably the development of technology has influenced the Automation industry significantly.

The DCS at that time was a purely proprietary system, but has since evolved tremendously over the decades.

Now ICT has become a bigger part of the DCS. It’s a much more open system, and the technology enables us to convey immense benefits of the developments to endusers. Traditionally our role as a vendor has mostly been to supply hardware with the required system engineering and some field instruments. Today we have developed several solutions, enabling us to shorten the gap between the automation and business layers. Our role is being transformed from the supplier of products into a solutions provider.

You speak fluent Japanese?

Yes, I speak fluent Japanese.

From your studies or from Yokogawa?

Yes, both- from my studies and interaction with colleagues.

How did you end up in the Middle East after starting in Japan?

I visited the Middle East on an engineering assignment in 1990 and was amazed with the huge potential and when Yokogawa asked me to be based in Bahrain, I gladly accepted the challenge. I came here in 1992, expecting to stay for 2 or 3 years, but wound up staying here for almost 3 decades, except for an assignment of 4 years in London in between.

Yokogawa is striving to become the global No.1 company in industrial automation. How close are they to achieving this?

The long-term objective of Yokogawa is to be number 1 in industrial automation and sensors. We are striving to increase our market share in the traditional markets like oil and gas and focus on new markets including chemical and power industries in the future. The competition is stiff, so we need to work very hard, but we have been very successful in the Middle East, especially within the oil and gas industry, in which we believe we are at the top.

Would you say you are the only independent company because all the others are part of big corporations, especially now that Invensys was bought by Schneider?

Does that make you unique compared to your competitors?

22 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

“I visited the Middle East on an engineering assignment in 1990 and was amazed with the huge potential and when Yokogawa asked me to be based in Bahrain, I gladly accepted the challenge”.

Yokogawa has never changed ownership or as a corporate entity since it was established unlike other companies which have been acquired, sold, moved from one entity into another. So, definitely it gives a very specific character to the company and preserves the core values which are, quality first, pioneering spirit, and contribution to society.

The company tries to instil this in all of the employees and propagate this in order to convey the benefits to our valued partners.

INSIGHT! FEATURE What makes Yokogawa so successful & what are your major achievements in the Middle East?

Our strategy is to focus and build up our core competencies and deliver very reliable products that always perform very well. But that is only one part of the equation, with another part being our people who we consider as not just human resources but human treasures. Our employees all work together to develop the company, they really own their jobs and take responsibility to deliver the solutions, and go the extra mile to satisfy the customers.

In the Middle East, one of the reasons we have become very successful is because we always try to be close to the customer, so as soon as we get a project, we invest in localised facilities and personnel to support the customers, and this makes a huge difference.

Another crucial part of the equation is Yokogawa’s commitment- our team always delivers what it promised.

I am not saying that we never had any problems, but Yokogawa has established a very solid and strong reputation for reliability. Accordingly, the customers place a lot of confidence on Yokogawa and collaborate in resolving these issues. This reputation and recognition as a reliable partner is one of the major achievements of Yokogawa.

Can we have some examples of the major success of the middle east?

Yokogawa’s phenomenal success in the region began with installations in SABIC, while the Saudi Aramco Riyadh Refinery upgrade was a defining moment in our history.

This was followed by several mega- projects in Saudi Arabia including, Petro Rabigh, Khursaniyah, Hawiyah, Khurais, JUPC, Saudi Kayan, Yansab, YASREF . While in Abu Dhabi we did Takreer’s Ruwais refinery project and many more projects in the region. These kind of very big projects helped provide solutions using the complete portfolio of Yokogawa products.

With the oil price being so low at the moment do Yokogawa expect growth in the mid- to long-term and, if so, where do you feel the growth will come from?

In the midterm it is going to be tough, nobody knows where the oil price is going and is expected to be low in the foreseeable future.

At the moment you can see some projects are being postponed, but on the other hand other customers are taking advantage of the situation and planning activities as follows: 1. Get projects executed at a low price.

2. Clients want to extend the lifetime of the systems and they have more demand for life-cycle agreements for site support, for optimization of the existing systems.

This presents business opportunities and so we have developed a very strong after-sales service group here

NOVEMBER 2015 | Automation

| 23

INSIGHT! FEATURE and a dedicated process solution group who work exclusively on optimization solutions, cyber-security and technologies. They work with customers to identify areas of the process that can be optimized to save costs.

2015 and 2016 will not be easy and hopefully we should see prices recovering thereafter. One area that is still growing is the power and water sector.

Population is increasing, the demand for utilities is not coming down so there is still business there.

In Africa we are looking into the mining sector, Sugar, also power plants. Sectors other than Oil & Gas that are very present within the Middle East.

So this is another area for growth.

Yokogawa are considered leaders in DCS, ESD and field instruments and have developed their products using the open technologies of the day such as Ethernet, HART, Foundation fieldbus, OPC and ISA 100. What technologies do Yokogawa believe will be key in tomorrow’s control automation?

That’s a tough question, Yokogawa has always been firmly involved in developing new technologies. We may not always be the first company to release new technologies, because our corporate policy is to really make sure it works before releasing to the market. However, our people are in many standardization committees around the world and what we see is that the current trends are in the development of ICT, Semiconductor, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Nano technology and then IPVC protocol where they move the intelligence of the system to the devices.

On the market we will see more intelligence going to the devices. To put simply the future is the “Un-manned” plant that will be full automated by these devices used in several applications. It isn’t only pressure and flow sensors, but could be camera and smell sensors as well, along with all kinds of new sensors that will come in the market and have their own IP address and so on. The system maybe self-healing as well so the entire package will basically operate by itself. This will not happen tomorrow but maybe 15 to 20 years down the line.

The use of virtual servers and cloud technology definitely helps in improving the engineering mechanics of the system. This helps reducing the costs. For example we can do remote factory acceptance test using this technology. So we can have the system here and the customer can be in China or in the U.S. and they can run the complete factory acceptance test without having to travel. This kind of technology is essential to do remote engineering, put teams together, and so on. It has a big benefit.

Some people are still a bit concerned with cloud technology when it comes to security, it may be more vulnerable to hacking or may be less, it is still a big question mark. But it is moving in that direction anyway- that is for sure.

Cyber security is a big issue as well and needs to be addressed. It is a huge threat in the industrial automation world.

What happened with a control systems vendor recently is a sad example, and I think it is a matter of time before somebody will attack another DCS.

We are therefore taking many steps to protect the system, trying to devise new technologies and then put a lot of cyber security around Is the use of Virtual Servers or Cloud Technology the system. We have a team again dedicated to this mission and also the answer to operational efficiency and cyber working with our end-users and industry experts. For example, we security? worked with a major oil company and Cisco to develop customized systems to secure their facilities. It is a very critical and important 24 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

INSIGHT! FEATURE area and we invest a lot of effort to make sure systems are protected.

What is Yokogawa’s relationship with the education systems such as technical colleges in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Africa and so on?

We have created a division, which we call the Yokogawa Human Development Academy, and their aim is to train people and to transfer knowledge to the local workforce.

This is done through collaboration with Academia and Human Resource Development bodies involved in developing the human capital in the region.

The activities through which we collaborate with academia include participation on Industrial Advisory committees, helping to review and update the course curricula, deliver special lectures, conduct hands-on practical training, workshops, symposia and so on.

We also have a lot of programs were we take fresh graduates and we give them classroom training. We can train them on anything from basic instrumentation to advanced process control. So it could range from a 1 month program to a multi-year program, were they do on the job training as well and when they finish the program they are ready to work in the automation world, We do this to contribute to the local economy, and also to identify potential engineers who could work for us in the long term, and if they leave us, they would still be good ambassadors for us in the future anyways. We have trained a lot of people in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.

We also take people working for our customers, young as well as experienced engineers, who come to work for us on internships. We put them through a similar program, which will help grow their career and knowledge. This is also a good reason of our success here. We really try to localize our services, have all the knowledge, and be able to provide all the support to the customers locally.

Of course sometimes we have to go back to Tokyo to the R&D when there are some serious problems, but we try to do everything locally, which is why we can respond very quickly to our partners.

Where do you see Yokogawa and the industry going in the next 100 years In the next 100 years, Yokogawa will definitely thrive to keep its corporate culture. The vision is that Yokogawa will remain an independent company, retaining its character and lead the automation industry by delivering unmatched and reliable solutions, while serving customers in the best spirit and striving for their total satisfaction.

Yokogawa will continue to march steadfastly on its chosen path of the technological evolution of its products, innovating in collaboration with the end-users, incorporating the emerging technologies and thereby expanding its range of offerings through pioneering initiatives in the fields of process control automation and value-addition through optimization.

These initiatives are a strategic part of an organic expansion towards Yokogawa’s revolutionary mission to take the quantum leap from being a supplier of high-tech products into an advance solutions provider increasing the value addition to the end-users.

ASSET PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS

Sensing the Pulse of Your Measurement with Heartbeat Technology Enhanced self-diagnostic capability in the ‘smart flowmeter’ takes safety, efficiency and plant availability to unprecedented levels

In Oil & Gas operations, and petrochemical companies alike, safety is of highest importance. Consistent quality and accurate billing of products are top priority as well. There is also an increasing need to prove that the operation meets environmental regulations.

Consequently, all measuring technology must ensure maximum reliability. State-of-the-art flow sensors are free of wear and tear, which is critical to ensuring these values. They have been recognized not only for highly stable measurement outcomes over long periods of time, and robustness under demanding operating conditions, but also for convenient and traceable techniques in terms of proving and periodic testing.

More recently, the consequent use of their greatly enhanced self-diagnostic capability has made flowmeters “smart” about their own condition, and paved the way to minimize effort and exposure for the personnel involved in routine activities such as proof-testing. Compliant verification reports enable longer calibration intervals and better plant availability overall. Remote access to comprehensive diagnostic information prevents unplanned shutdown, or unnecessary and risky on-site intervention.

Backbone of the development for Endress+Hauser’s

Proline flowmeters is a rigorous “Safety-by-design” concept based on IEC 61508 standards for functional safety, with the goal to minimize the risk of dangerousundetected failure, and to attain best-in-class safety and reliability marks. A technical concept named Heartbeat Technology constitutes a test method integrated in the flowmeter, which encompasses Heartbeat Diagnostics and Heartbeat Verification, both relying on internal factory-traceable references which are redundantly reproduced in the device.

Heartbeat Diagnostics ensures broadest diagnostic coverage with no gaps left from the sensor frontend to the outputs. Diagnostic status information according to NAMUR NE 107 may be transferred to higher-level systems by digital field protocols. Clear-text indication and remedy are associated with each error code and stored in the event logbook for the device. Targeted service intervention can therefore be carried out on such a device with minimal time and cost involved.

Heartbeat Verification verifies the function of the flowmeter on demand by using the same embedded technology, to satisfy requirements for periodic testing as specified in operating procedures, or whenever needed NOVEMBER 2015 | Automation

ASSET PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS by the operator. The total test coverage (The total test coverage is defined by a Failure-mode-evaluation-anddiagnostics-analysis (FMEDA) according to IEC 61508 as the ratio of potential failure detected and likewise mitigated versus the total probability of random failure in the device electronics) typically ranges from 95% to over 98%, depending on the device type.

Most of the common digital field network protocols support at least a verification to be initiated remotely and a Pass / Fail statement to be transferred back to the control system, or an asset management system, respectively.

Technical auditors and regulators affirm compliance of Heartbeat Technology with the requirements for traceable verification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 – (Section 7.6 a) “Control of monitoring and measuring equipment”. Key to this conclusion is a continuous cross-check among the device-internal references, which allows detecting any drift immediately, and likewise ensures the references remain stable for both measuring and testing procedures.

The ‘as-manufactured’ condition of the device-internal references is captured during factory calibration in an accredited facility according to ISO 17025, and is securely saved in the meter’s nonvolatile memory. This reference information forms the basis for consecutive internal verifications over the lifetime of the flowmeter.

During verification, the current flowmeter condition expressed in a large variety of secondary parameters is compared with the reference values, thereby determining the actual device status. The individual test results are securely stored in the meter memory.

28 | Automation

| NOVEMBER 2015

They are used to compile a verification report, which allow the device to document its health condition in an incorruptible manner. The report can be used for quality documentation as an evidence of conformity with legal standards.

An increasingly important application for Heartbeat Technology is in safety-instrumented systems designed, implemented and operated according to functional safety standard ISO 61511. By the unparalleled low failure ratings provided by Heartbeat Diagnostics, Proline flowmeters may be used for many years before they have to undergo a full proof-test. In the meantime, Heartbeat Verification can be used to document the functionality in a quick and virtually effortless manner in case a partial proof-test is performed on the SILrated loop.

The traditional method of verification with traceable, external proving tools is no longer necessary. As a result, regulators usually agree the intervals between labor-intensive recalibrations can be extended. The advantages of this process include significant time and cost savings, while virtually eliminating risks associated with incorrect handling.

Thanks to the standardized implementation across a wide variety of measurement technologies, users of Proline flowmeters from Endress+Hauser need to learn only once how to work with this method, resulting in cost savings through increased productivity in operation and maintenance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Weg turns to WEG to enhance gas recovery in major depletion project

Achieving maximum productivity from oil and gas fields is the prime goal for the petrochemical industry but the extraction process becomes more difficult as fields become depleted. With this in mind, leading global manufacturer of motor and drive technology, WEG, has developed bespoke variable speed drive systems to help with extraction from some of Oman’s older oil fields where the natural pressure is beginning to fade. Boosting extraction from depleting reserves is part of a US$33 billion project which aims to enhance Oman’s hydrocarbon production capabilities and help the country broaden its economic base. It is expected that Oman will unlock about one trillion cubic metres of natural gas over the next 25 years, representing a long term sustainable competitive feedstock for its petrochemical industry. Plans are also afoot to develop downstream industries such as the production of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC), Caustic Soda and other chemicals.

As part of this major effort, the PDO Saih Rawl Field Depletion Project, Phase 2, will see US$550 million invested on developing a daily gas production capacity of 30 million cubic metres, which will be fed to the existing Saih Rawl central processing facility. Extra compressors will be installed to increase the pressure so that gas continues to flow, enabling the field to feed the liquefied

natural gas (LNG) industry while offering a back-up when other plants are shut down for maintenance Electric motors will play a key role in ensuring that such compressors run efficiently, smoothly and reliably, as they will be responsible for driving their suction and discharge cooler fans. Bearing in mind that electric motor-driven systems (EMDS) are the largest individual source of energy use, accounting for 45% of the world’s electricity consumption, and over half of this energy demand originates from motors used in fans and compressors,1 Indian company Larsen & Toubro decided to partner with WEG to equip the main gas compressor with an efficient drive system, which could endure the most demanding applications.

To meet such needs, WEG has developed a bespoke solution comprising 48 30kW variable speed drives and motors and 32 15kW drives and motors, which will be supplied as systems and mounted in control cabinets, and also include a high capacity circuit breaker for emergency cut outs and a by-pass system for DOL (direct on line) starting. Additionally, WEG has fitted its equipment with a passive input harmonic filter to reduce problems relating to mains borne corruption of the power supply, while an output filter will be used to protect the drive.

NOVEMBER 2015 | Automation

ENERGY EFFICIENCY WEG’s variable speed drive systems have been tested at its manufacturing facility in Brazil in the presence of inspectors from PDO and Larsen & Toubro to simulate the harsh environmental and operating conditions that may occur in the field. WEG is also conducting performance tests of the motors at the fan manufacturer’s plant in Korea and has organised training sessions for PDO staff in the Brazilian factory. Thanks to its vertical manufacturing process, WEG has also been able to supply Larsen & Toubro with all of the overloads, switchgear, relays and pushbuttons used within the drive cabinets, thus ensuring component compatibility and trouble free system building and commissioning as well as efficient ordering and delivery. Other elements in the cabinet include a control power transformer and auxiliary contactors and circuit breakers. Additionally, a door mounted control panel incorporates a backlit LCD keypad, while a redundant serial link (2 channels Modbus-RTU over RS485) provides communication to the wider control system. Finally, the control cabinets include space heaters, which are essential to withstand the extreme temperature differentials between day and night in the Oman desert, which can cause potentially damaging condensation.

“We have exceptional experience of developing complete drive solutions for oil & gas applications – both upstream and downstream – and our involvement in such a major project as the PDO Saih Rawl Field is a fine example of our commitment to help the oil & gas industry operate more efficiently and reliably,” comments Colin Cox, Managing Director, WEG Middle East. WEG offers one of the broadest ranges of energy-efficient explosion-proof motors currently available with rated power from 0.12 kW to 5.6 MW and frame sizes from IEC 71 to 800. For example, the W22Xd IE4 Super Premium motor - the most energy efficient flameproof motor available on the market - combines explosion protection with IE4 efficiency levels and offers a long service life and low maintenance costs, helping businesses in the process industry increase productivity, improve reliability and cut costs by up to 40% compared to conventional models.

WEG’s drives minimise voltage surges by carefully regulating the time between the pulses of their IGBTs (integrated gate bipolar transistors). This decreases the possible surge magnitude and also allows longer cable runs without detrimentally affecting motor insulation.

Its patented flux optimising technology reduces input current by up to 50% of the motor rated speed, which decreases motor temperature rise by as much as 11%.

Insulation life, and therefore motor life is extended because it is doubled for every 10° C decrease in its operating temperature. Alternatively, output torque can be increased by 50% of the motor rated speed to 32 | Automation

suit more demanding applications. “Thanks to this high performance drive and motor architecture, WEG products are the perfect solution for the most arduous industrial applications, such as those that are likely to be found in Oman’s PDO Saih Rawl Field Depletion Project,” concludes Colin. “WEG can provide the ideal explosion-proof motor for virtually every application, even with extreme operating conditions such as ambient temperatures from -55°C to +80°C and altitudes up to 5,000 m”.

ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL & OPTIMISATION

Optimizing the Value of Operator Training Simulators Author: Rick Rys, Senior Consultant, ARC Advisory Group

Overview When evaluating the value of an investment in training simulator technolo-gy for your plant, it’s important to first consider how and in what type of facility the training simulator would be used. For example, would the simulator be used to train plant managers, engineers, and/or maintenance technicians as well as operators? Would the simulator also be used to test control strategies in a safe, offline environment? And, perhaps most im-portantly, is the target plant a new, grassroots facility, or an existing brownfield facility?

Depending on what the end user hopes to accomplish, the relative fidelities of both the process and the control system simulation should be aligned to optimize the value of the technology and, ultimately, the return on investment. To maximize value, modern operator training simulator (OTS) solutions should be used for more than just training operators. Depending on specific requirements, cost-effective options are available across the spectrum of available OTS technologies.

The answers to these questions will help end users determine the best types of technology to implement for simulating both the process itself and the control system.

Depending on what the end user hopes to accomplish, the relative fidelities of both the process and the control system simulations should be aligned to optimize the value of the technology and, ultimately, the return on investment.

Why does it make a difference whether the plant is a new or existing facili-ty? In a new facility or a plant expansion, the cost of the OTS can often be budgeted as part of the overall project, for which it would typically repre-sent a very small percentage and thus not be overly difficult to justify. The need to train operators in a new facility is also usually more obvious than in an existing plant, in which the operators have already gained a considera-ble amount of operating experience.

Furthermore, in established plants that have often been in operation for decades, the, “We’ve managed fine without one so far,” mentality often dominates.

ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL & OPTIMISATION Unless there has been an obvious pattern of operator errors leading to “near-misses,” requiring operator qualification and/or requalification, it can often be difficult to justify the investment required to purchase, implement, and maintain an OTS in an existing plant.

This is particularly true if the plant goes the high-fidelity route for both the process and control system simulator models. On the other hand, an OTS can add obvious value in existing plants when a new or significantly upgraded control system is in-stalled with which the operators do not have experience.

To optimize the value of an OTS, it’s important to match the plant require-ments to the available technology solutions. Some general guidelines for doing so follow.

Options for Control System Simulation In the past, before simulators were available, both training and engineering for control systems (both DCS and PLCs) were typically performed right on the actual control system. Once the control system was installed, training occurred while controlling the plant processes. This limited the scope and effectiveness of operator training and left the control engineer without any development or test system.

As ARC consultants learned during a number of recent visits to process plants, many plants and mills today have only the running control system in place for training and testing new control schemes. This is unfortunate, because a wide variety of options for both simulating the process control system and simulating the actual process are available today. These range from generally low-cost, generic off-the-shelf control and process simula-tors, to highly customized high-fidelity simulators that represent exact models of both the control system and the process and further enhance the learning experience using 3D virtual immersive plant environments; with many alternatives in between. This article will focus on those “in between” alternatives that can often be easier to cost justify in existing plants.

ARC has written extensively about the exciting advances being made today in immersive-type training simulators that simulate actual plant environ-ments in amazing Basic Configuration for a Control System Simulator

detail (often down to the vibrations, sounds, and smells one would encounter in the actual plant) and employ avatars that place the trainee in this highly realistic immersive environment. While research indi-cates that this can enhance the learning experience and improve retention significantly, this type of technology is often too costly and sophisticated for the majority of today’s brownfield plants unless they are undergoing a major capital plant expansion or technology upgrade.

Control System Development and Checkout In years past, control engineers developed the control system software for greenfield projects on the actual staged control system. One-hundred per-cent of the control system I/O had to be tested to make sure it was operational. Test panels were wired to the I/O points.

These test panels had switches to drive digital inputs and potentiometers to drive analog inputs. They used lights to read digital outputs and gauges to see analog outputs. At the same time the hardware was being tested, engineers would be able to check HMI graphic displays, alarm settings, and certain control functions like controller action, trip settings, and alarm functions.

This open loop simulation represents the lowest level of fidelity because the simulation en-gineer, rather than actual process dynamics, sets the process behavior. The I/O can be set to any steady state value of the process and variables manu-ally manipulated one at a time to test the control system software. As long as the system was being staged, it could be used for training operators and testing the control system; although any semblance of “simulation” took place in the minds of the engineers turning the knobs and flipping the switches.

Today, the control system software is developed by a team of engineers on offline personal computers, often using network servers and, increasingly, cloud computing.

To support the control system development effort, most DCS suppliers and many PLC suppliers offer relatively low-cost PC-based control software configurators that create the run-time control software ul-timately deployed in the actual control system. The best systems can both configure and execute the control functions in this virtual environment. The ability to execute the control functions in a virtual control system al-lows options for both operator training and control scheme development and testing.

Turning the Development PC into an OTS What many end users don’t recognize is that after the control strategies have been developed and deployed to the target controllers, by keeping the configuration up to date, the development software running on an off-line PC (in effect, a virtual control system) NOVEMBER 2015 | Automation

| 35

ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL & OPTIMISATION can also be used as a simulator to help train operators for years to come. The only change normally required would be to toggle the I/O-related function blocks to disconnect from the physical I/O and switch to simulated I/O. While staged control systems can be connected to physical hardware that communicates with the process simulators, this configuration is rarely used for operator training. The virtual control system is much simpler with no hardware since it can connect to a dynamic process simulator using stand-ard networking methods.

Although, in principal, it is possible to use the standard DCS or PLC func-tion blocks to simulate the process, it’s usually most efficient to connect the virtual control system to a simulation software solution. Purpose-built simulation software often provides the best option for creating a real pro-cess simulation at low cost and at an acceptable level of fidelity to meet the project goals.

Align Fidelity to Specific OTS Requirements Do you want to train the operators on how to use the control system? In this case, control system fidelity needs to be high (identical), but the fidelity of the process simulation can vary depending on the extent that learning the process behavior is part of the training goal.

Do you want to train the operators on how the process works in the steady state or dynamically? In this case, the process model needs to have high fidelity. Without high fidelity, the operators will learn how to control the simulation but the real process will behave differently.

Dealing with pro-cess hazards and quality issues may require additional training beyond an OTS. Even the lowest level of fidelity can be used to accomplish training goals if properly managed. Achieving simulation fidelity that is indistinguishable from the real process is nearly impossible to do for any complex process. Often a simulation that is directionally correct from a steady-state operating point, can be acceptable for most purposes. We often hear simulation ex-perts repeat the mantra: “All models are wrong; some are useful.”

As shown in the graph above, the optimal process simulation from a value-minus-cost perspective tends to peak at lower model fidelities for brown-field facilities.

The reason is that low-fidelity process simulations can still be used effectively for training. Each plant may define or value fidelity dif-ferently, so the optimal fidelity can also vary. Higher fidelity process simulations can often be justified when you can reduce the cost of building and maintaining the simulation. Simulation vendors have made some pro-gress doing this, but it is

inherently difficult because real processes have so many complex parts that change behavior with time. As a result, many high-fidelity simulations developed for new facilities have been aban-doned. Many existing facilities have upgraded to a new control systems, so training goals are skewed to learning the new control system with opera-tors and other workers that already know the real process.

Optimizing Fidelity of Process Simulation for a “Brownfield” Facility OTS as Development Platform Whether using a standard OTS solution or one custom-designed for your plant, if you have both a virtual control system and a process simulation to train operators, you also have a platform that could be used to test and de-velop software. Unfortunately, many control engineers don’t actually take advantage of this capability. Configuring complex control schemes on the live control system presents several risks to the process operation. In facili-ties where the control engineers do not have a development or test platform, they must do all their work on the running control system. It is no wonder they keep control schemes as simple as possible and avoid ad-vanced control schemes. Although taking on the support for an OTS system is some extra work, the control engineers can benefit from the dual use.

Plan Ahead to Maximize Synergies With a supplier-supported virtual control configuration platform, the OTS system can be used to train operators and other staff with the identical HMI, controls, alarms, and other control system software.

As training is a part-time activity, control engineers can also use the OTS platform to help develop and test control hardware and software, HMI, alarming, and trend-ing. Plant control engineers obviously understand both the process and the process dynamics, and are in a good position to maintain simple process models, possibly with some support from simulation suppliers.

ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL & OPTIMISATION Plants can get more value out of the OTS when synergy with the control solution is planned from the start. ARC has observed that in too many instances, a sophisticated OTS solution is abandoned over time because it is too difficult for the end user to support. There is great opportunity for the synergistic use of an OTS system in existing facilities, especially those that have new control system upgrades. The key points are to use vendor-supported virtualization tools to make an exact emulation of the control system. There is tremendous value when operators can navigate the identical HMI screens and interact with a simplified process simulation to explore rarely used control functions like equipment trips, overrides, failures modes, and start-ups. Whenever possible, it’s important to keep the simulation fidelity at a level that the plant control engineering group can support. Plants can get more value out of the OTS when synergy with the control solution is planned from the start. ARC has observed that in too many instances, a sophisticated OTS solution is abandoned over time because it is too difficult for the end user to support.

ARC surveys indicate that OTS users want more fidelity; but they also want lower cost and easy-to-develop models. Creative minds are developing new technologies, and new products are coming. ARC recommends that

end users should carefully plan their operator training solutions to help ensure that they can achieve short and long-term training goals. Consider the synergistic benefits of managing the OTS within the process control group at the facility. By keeping a multi-use simulation platform up-to-date long term, they can gain great value to improve operator performance to minimize mistakes, while improving the process control performance of the facility.

What’s happening at the C2C Foundation?

Summer 2015 Watching children sprint across a wide green expanse, pet animals with love, and rapturously stare at a large feast; these are unique flavors of joy you can only appreciate firsthand.

And this summer, that’s exactly what the President & CEO of DMS Global, Mohammed Loch, did. Five years ago, Eva Kernova and Sunil Baroi created a foundation to provide education and support to 150 slum children in Dhaka, Bangladesh, by building a school that is supported by the DMS family.

for another treat: a trip to the zoo. This was quite special for them because they hardly encounter any lush green spaces in the slum and watching wild and unknown animals was a bonus they’ll remember for a while. This was only made possible by the efforts of Jack Stanley and the team at Abu Dhabi Week that heartily agreed to sponsor the trip.

Eva Kernova extended her deepest thanks, “Abu Dhabi Week has supported us the past couple years with extensive coverage of our project so we are delighted to have them visit us to experience our activities first hand.”

Today, we still stand by the foundation’s efforts, getting businesses actively involved in funding the future of these students and the same is true for this summer. During the holy month of Ramadan this year, more than the usual amount of generosity was directed to the Dhaka slums, as over 300 children and their families got together to enjoy an Iftar feast, organized by the C2C foundation and DMS Global.

In other news, activities at C2C are in full swing with the development of the English language department under headmaster Manotosh Malakar’s supervision and frequent visits by volunteers from Etihad Airlines are contributing greatly in sharpening the kids’ communication skills. Sunil Baroi confirmed, “English is our main focus as this will open up the doors for our students when they grow up to start their careers one day.”

“Families in this village struggle to make ends meet, and three full meals a day is considered extravagant. So, for us to be able to feed them during the holy month of Ramadan is a blessing,” commented Mohammed Loch. For the occasion of the Eid Al Adha celebrations, the C2C students were in

About C 2C The Choice To Change (C2C) was founded by Eva Kernova, and Sunil Baroi, in July 2010. They chose to change the lives of poverty-stricken children in the slums of Dhaka by paving an educational pathway for them to follow. Attaining any type of formal education would have been impossible for these underprivileged children without the help of such a non-profit organisation. The school now comprises of 148 children, 9 teachers headed by headmaster, social worker, a nurse and a head-cook. In 2013 DMS Global partnered with C2C to cover the administration and marketing costs as well as the responsibility of the fundraising for the school operations as part of their CSR initiative. http://thechoicetochange.org
