Company delivers oil refinery control systems
Japanese electrical engineering and software company Yokogawa China has received an order from Chinese oil and gas company PetroChina Yunnan Petrochemical to deliver control systems for an oil refinery that is being built in China’s Yunnan province.
The first stage of the project includes PetroChina Yunnan Petrochemical constructing an oil refinery, with a yearly capacity of ten-million tons, in the Anning Industrial Park, 40 km from Kunming City.
The refinery will start operations this year and, with a yearly output of ten-million tons, this will be one of the largest refineries in south-western China.
Most of China’s refineries are located along the country’s east coast, which presents the challenge of having to transport oil products to inland regions at a high cost. To receive and process oil from PetroChina’s pipeline, multiple oil refineries with a total yearly capacity of 20-million tons and an ethylene plant with a yearly capacity of one-million tons will be built in Yunnan, with work on these facilities to be completed by 2020.
The refined oil products and ethylene from these plants will be sent to other plants in Yunnan and other inland regions, significantly reducing transportation costs.
Yokogawa China received an order for an oil movement and storage system at this refinery in 2013. Following that order, Yokogawa received an order for a Centum VP integrated production control system to monitor and control the main facilities at this plant.
“I believe we were able to win this order because of the high reliability and long-term stability of the products that we have delivered to other oil and petrochemicals plants in China,” says Yokogawa China president Noriaki Hirose.
Encouraged by this order, Yokogawa aims to expand its control business in China’s large oil and petrochemicals markets.
