The scope of this project involved the complete replacement of an outdated
Distributed Control System (DCS) at a degassing station. This required the
full range of engineering, procurement, construction, and demolition
(EPCD) services to be delivered to ensure the successful replacement of
the system.
Specifically, the following activities were undertaken:
- Engineering: Detailed engineering studies were conducted to determine the best approach for replacing the DCS system. This involved planning for the new Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) that would replace the old DCS, as well as the new control valves and field instruments.
- Procurement: The procurement of materials required for the project was carried out, including the new ICSS, control valves, and field instruments.
- Construction: The installation of the new ICSS, control valves, and field instruments was carried out in a systematic and efficient manner. This included the construction of any necessary infrastructure, such as control rooms and other facilities.
- Demolition: The old DCS system, control valves, and field instruments were dismantled and safely disposed of as part of the project.
The successful completion of this project required the collaboration of all stakeholders involved, including the client, contractors, engineers, and project management teams. The end result is a modern, efficient, and reliable control system that will ensure safe and optimal operation of the degassing station.
