ABB is providing Petrom SA with fully integrated Terminal Automation Systems and related design, engineering and installation services at four of its pilot terminal sites in Romania. The value of the order is $4.9 million.
The project includes analysis, design, development, engineering, configuration, testing, supply and installation of four Terminal Automation Systems based on ABB’s T-MAC software integrated with System 800xA Extended Automation.
ABB’s Terminal Automation Systems provide vertical integration of the myriad of networks, systems, devices and other heterogeneous data sources throughout a terminal. This enables petroleum and petrochemical customers to access information quickly and in the right context, so they can manage all aspects of their operation more effectively. These systems use, as their foundation, System 800xA’s operations and engineering environment and integration capability. Several of the pilot site deliveries will also include System 800xA High Integrity for integrated control and safety.
The Terminal Automation Systems will connect to Petrom’s corporate ERP system, as well as integrate various third party systems and devices throughout the network of sites included in the pilot project for true enterprise-wide access to and control of these operations. At each site, the automation system will control the movement and track quantities of gasoline and other petroleum products from the pipeline, and to and from trucks, rail cars and ships.
The first site is scheduled to start the commissioning phase in September 2007.
