Schneider Electric helps bring process automation systems to Nigerian oil refinery
施耐德電氣幫助尼日利亞煉油廠部署過程自動化系統
Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, has signed a contract to provide process automation systems, solutions and services to Dangote Oil Refinery Ltd., a subsidiary of African business conglomerate Dangote Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Schneider Electric will supply its EcoStruxure system architecture and platform, comprising its EcoStruxure Foxboro distributed control system, Triconex process safety solutions, PIONIR analytical fuels blending systems and a suite of SimSci and Wonderware software solutions, including its unified supply chain management and operations management software, to drive supply chain and operational efficiency, reliability and profitability improvements at Dangote’s greenfield refinery in Lagos, Nigeria.
全球能效管理和自動化領域專家施耐德電氣簽署了一項合同,為非洲商業機構丹格特集團(Dangote Group)的子公司丹格特煉油有限公司提供過程自動化系統、解決方案以及服務。根據協議條款,施耐德電氣將提供其EcoStruxure系統架構和平臺,包括其EcoStruxure Foxboro分布式控制系統,Triconex過程安全解決方案,PIONIR分析燃料混合系統以及一套包括統一供應鏈管理和運營管理軟件的SimSci和Wonderware軟件解決方案,以提升丹格特在尼日利亞拉各斯新建煉油廠的供應鏈,以及運營效率、可靠性和盈利能力。
EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s IoT-enabled, open and interoperable system architecture and platform across connected products, edge control and apps, analytics, and services. The EcoStruxure architecture enables scalable design and operation of connected systems with cybersecurity built in at every layer.
EcoStruxure是施耐德電氣基于物聯網的,開放的、具有互操作性的系統架構與平臺,涵蓋互聯互通的產品、邊緣控制以及應用、分析與服務三個層面。EcoStruxure架構在每一層面,均實現了具有網絡安全的互聯互通系統的可擴展設計和操作。
“While Nigeria is the world’s eighth largest producer and exporter of crude oil, we still import nearly 80 percent of our petroleum products,” said Devakumar V. G. Edwin, group executive director, strategy, capital projects and portfolio development, Dangote Industries Ltd. “Once completed in 2019, however, the Dangote Refinery will be the world’s largest single train refinery capable of producing 33 million tons of various liquid products, including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and other petrochemicals every year. Not only is that enough to meet all of Nigeria’s consumption needs each and every day, we will have a surplus of each of these products for export.”
“盡管尼日利亞是世界第八大原油生產和出口國時,但我們近80%的石油產品仍然是進口的,” 丹格特實業公司負責戰略、資本項目和投資組合拓展的集團執行董事Devakumar V. G. Edwin說道。“2019年投產之后,丹格特煉油廠將是世界上最大的單系列煉油廠,每年可生產3300萬噸各種液體產品,包括汽油、柴油、煤油、航空燃料和其他石化產品。這不僅足以滿足尼日利亞的每日消費需求,而且我們的每一產品都有過剩的以供出口。”
Because it will be a single train facility, any interruption or shutdown in operations at the Dangote Refinery would decrease output from 650,000 barrels a day to zero. Recognizing the need to safeguard their continuous operations, Dangote Oil Refinery Ltd. chose Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS and Triconex process safety solutions—which include emergency shutdown systems—to maximize the safety and efficiency of their operations and to improve the reliability of their equipment assets and asset sets. PIONIR process analyzers will improve process optimization, asset protection and compliance with environmental regulations. And advanced SimSci and Wonderware software will be implemented both to unify planning and scheduling and to improve real-time data collection and analysis, further optimizing operations and product blending. When combined, the integrated suite of systems and software solutions will help the Dangote Refinery gain real-time control of all its business variables.
因為丹格特煉油廠將是一個單系列工廠,任何運營中斷或停機都會導致產量從每天65萬桶降至零。意識到需要保護他們的持續運營,丹格特煉油有限公司選擇了施耐德電氣的EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS和Triconex過程安全解決方案(包括緊急關閉系統),以最大限度地提高運營的安全性和效率,并提高其設備資產的可靠性和資產組合。PIONIR過程分析儀將改善流程優化、資產保護和遵守環境法規。先進的SimSci和Wonderware軟件將實施統一規劃和調度,并改進實時數據收集和分析,進一步優化操作和產品混合。組合后,集成系統和軟件解決方案將幫助丹格特煉油廠實時控制其所有業務變量。
“Maintaining continuously safe, reliable and efficient refinery operations will help us reach our national goal of reducing petroleum products imports and increasing our energy independence, which could help increase our country’s foreign exchange by up to $5.5 million and reduce oil imports by up to $7.5 million,” Edwin said.
Edwin 表示,“維持持續安全、可靠和高效的煉油作業將有助于我們達到國家減少石油產品進口的目標,增加我們的能源獨立性,幫助我國增加550萬美元的外匯,同時減少750萬美元的石油進口。”
To ensure its refinery continually runs smoothly and at full capacity, Dangote Oil Refinery Ltd. sought high-end solutions that both mitigate risks and hazards and prevent unscheduled downtime.
為確保其煉油廠的順利運行和全力投產,丹格特煉油公司尋求高端解決方案,以降低風險和危害,防止計劃外停機。
As part of the agreement, Schneider Electric has created a task force between its Nigerian office and its engineering office in India, which has successfully implemented critical control and safety systems for some of the largest refineries in the world. This level of experience and expertise, coupled with Schneider Electric’s commitment to providing local support, made the company Dangote’s top choice. Schneider Electric will also provide design, engineering and installation services.
作為協議的一部分,施耐德電氣在尼日利亞辦事處和印度工程辦公室之間成立了一個工作組,該辦事處已經成功地為世界上一些最大的煉油廠實施了關鍵控制和安全系統。高水平的經驗和專業知識,加上施耐德電氣提供本地支持的承諾,使得施耐德電氣成為丹格特公司的首選。施耐德電氣還將提供設計、工程和安裝服務。
