LNG液化

• Operator training system for the critical LNG processes had been built to reduce human errors and achieve operational excellence.
• The high fidelity modeling of LNG liquefaction process closely matches the behavior and operational environment of the actual plant.

• A phased upgrade approach from CENTUM CS to CENTUM VP was planned to meet tight LNG carriers schedules.
• The collaboration using CENTUM VP and APC provides optimization of gas liquefaction operation.

• OTS for familialization of liquefaction processes and operator training.
• Yokogawa's integrated solutions contribute to safe and steady production at gas liquefaction plant in Norway.

Over the past decade, companies have been using unconventional drilling technology to extract gas and liquid from the readily available shale formations in North America. As the industry gains experience, the production rates continue to rise based on better use of technology to locate resources and to decrease the time from exploration to production.

As LNG moves from a niche to a major area of the oil and gas industry, experienced suppliers are required to deliver the technologies that support it. 

LNG Industry, Summer 2012

Martin te Lintelo, Yokogawa, The Netherlands, discusses the need for better automation, measurement and control instruments to cope with the rising popularity of LNG.
