Honeywell (www.honeywell.com) has been selected by Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (www.staatsolie.com), the state-owned hydrocarbon and sustainable energy company, to upgrade the safety and control systems at its Suriname refinery to its Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) solution. The upgrade is being designed and implemented within the context of the Suriname Refinery Expansion Project, which will double the capacity and expand the range of products and fuels, with a special focus on the satisfaction of the domestic transportation market.
The upgrade includes the expansion of Honeywell’s Alarm Management System, Operational Insight Software and OPC Desktop Historian solutions currently installed at site. This suite of tools will provide Staatsolie with automatic monitoring of system changes, a platform for cross-departmental collaboration and enable the communication of information from data sources to any client application in a standardized format.
Protecting electrical controls and equipment within food and beverage plants presents unique challenges due to the sanitation requirements of the hygienic environment.
