Tokyo, Japan - August 4, 2009
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that its subsidiary Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd. has received a contract from LILAMA Corporation to supply control systems and instrumentation for the Vung Ang thermo-power plant No.1, which is being built for the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam). The contract is estimated to be worth $16.6 million.
Situated in Ha Tihn Province, the Vung Ang thermo-power plant No.1 will have two 600 MW units, for a combined generating capacity of 1,200 MW. Unit 1 is planned to be operational by mid-2012 and unit 2 by early 2013.
In this project, Yokogawa Engineering Asia is providing control systems and instrumentation for the boilers and other utilities. These include a CENTUM series integrated production control system, the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System, the Exaquantum™ Plant Information Management System, and DPharp series pressure/differential pressure transmitters. As part of its full turnkey project solution, Yokogawa Engineering Asia is also providing engineering, installation supervision, and commissioning services.
The OTS will use the same SAS as the actual plant, with identical graphics and alarm behavior. This high fidelity model of the LNG liquefaction process will behave exactly like the actual plant and allow plant upsets and equipment malfunctions to be simulated in an offline environment. This makes it possible for operators to repeat training so that they are always prepared for such situations.
One major reason why Yokogawa Engineering Asia won this contract lies in the strong reputation that the company has established over the years for providing reliable products to the thermal power control system market in Southeast Asia. Another positive factor was the extensive expertise and engineering capabilities demonstrated by the company in international projects.
