Emerson Completes Digital Automation Engineering and Design for $12 Billion Liquefied Natural Gas Project in Qatar
The Qatargas II expansion, a joint venture of Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil and Total, will add onto the existing Qatargas site at the Ras Laffan Industrial City, which has three operational LNG units - or trains - producing 8 million tons of liquefied gas annually. Phase one of the QG-II expansion includes Liquefied Natural Gas train number 4, scheduled to begin delivery of 7.8 million tons LNG per annum to the United Kingdom in mid 2008. Train number 5 is then scheduled to produce an additional 7.8 million tons per annum nine months later. These LNG liquefaction trains are two of the largest in the world.
Post start-up services by Emerson will include a multi-year commitment to furnish and manage hardware and software for plant automation systems; safety instrumented systems, training simulation, plant-wide data historian, transmitters, valve positioners, and advanced control solutions.
