Metso selected to ensure safe ESD at Orpic's Sohar refinery expansion project in
Oman
Metso Corporation's press release on July 7, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Metso's intelligent solenoid valves have been chosen by Daelim, a South Korean
EPC company, to ensure highly reliable emergency shutdown (ESD) valve operation
for over 600 safety-critical valves being used in the expansion project at
Orpic's Sohar refinery in Oman.
Daelim selected Neles ValvGuard intelligent solenoid valves to ensure that all
safety actions can be implemented reliably on demand, if needed, for their
extension project of the Sohar refinery, owned by Oman Oil Refineries and
Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic).
These valves were chosen because of their ability to perform partial valve
stroke tests on a regular basis to verify performance for the plant's predictive
maintenance purposes as well as to maintain the required safety integrity level
(SIL) for the safety loops.
The high pneumatic capacity and integrated limit switches of Neles ValvGuard
optimize installation costs for any plant. This means that refineries can take
advantage of improved plant safety in a highly cost-efficient way.
Neles ValvGuards are fully compatible with Foundation Fieldbus communication
protocol and they are ensuring safe and reliable operation on top of 3rd party
and Metso valves. Foundation Fieldbus enables best possible life-cycle savings
for the Sohar refinery due to some of the protocol's key benefits, including
predictive maintenance capability and seamless data integration into operational
displays of DCS system.
