An approximately four million pounds sterling lump sum turnkey contract has been awarded to Yokogawa System Centre Europe to provide the main instrumentation and controls for the new South Hook LNG Receiving Terminal that is to be built near Milford Haven, Wales, UK.
The South Hook LNG Terminal will be the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Europe. This new state-of-the-art facility will provide a significant new source of natural gas to the UK's national transmission network.
Working in conjunction with the main engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company NV, Yokogawa will be responsible for delivering its leading integrated control, safety, and management information system (MIS) solution. The solution will use Yokogawa's Centum CS3000 R3 distributed control system (DCS); the ProSafe range of emergency shutdown (ESD), high integrity pressure protection (HIPPS), and fire and gas detection safety systems; and the Exaquantum MIS.
Will de Groot, managing director of Yokogawa System Centre Europe, says "Over the past 12 months we have been working closely with the South Hook Terminal client, supporting their front end engineering design (FEED) activities and utilising the expertise we have gained from the implementation of many similar solutions across the globe. Time after time Yokogawa has demonstrated that projects such as this need not only the best available solution for today's operational and business needs but one that will evolve and keep delivering over the entire project lifecycle."
