Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced that its subsidiary, Yokogawa China, has received an order from the Dushanzi Petrochemical Company to deliver a control system for its water source facilities. This system will monitor and control various plants managed by the company in the Dushanzi district of Karamay, a city in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
The Dushanzi Petrochemical Company manages four sources that annually produce approximately 650 million cubic metres of water for use by its petrochemical complex and other consumers in the Dushanzi District. The company wants to replace an existing control platform with an up to date system that will more efficiently monitor and control its water source facilities, which consist of 84 wells, 8 reservoirs and 10 pump stations. In this project, Yokogawa will supply a Centum VP integrated production control system, and Yokogawa China will oversee all project implementation activities, including engineering and commissioning.
