Yokogawa Selected to Supply Cheniere's LNG With Integrated Automation and Safety System
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has been selected to supply the integrated automation and safety system for the new liquefaction trains at Cheniere's LNG facility in Sabine Pass, La.
SPL is the first company that has received approval from the Department of Energy to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to non-Free Trade Agreement countries. The development of liquefaction services at the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal in Cameron Parish, La., will transform the terminal into a bi-directional facility capable of liquefying and exporting natural gas and importing and re-gasifying foreign-sourced LNG.
SPL will also use the ProSafe-RS integrated safety instrumented system (SIS) from Yokogawa for the site. ProSafe-RS delivers completely integrated SIS for DCS to simplify deployment, operation, and maintenance. Until now, two separate monitoring and operating environments were required for the DCS and SIS. ProSafe-RS eliminates the need to implement separate communications and distinctive hardware architectures for the DCS and SIS, therefore fast tracking implementation at Sabine Pass, lowering overall costs, and simplifying operation and maintenance.
