Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that its subsidiary Yokogawa Australia Pty. Ltd. has been advised that it will receive orders to supply the control systems for the Ichthys LNG project, which is being developed in Australia.

The Ichthys LNG Project is a joint venture between INPEX (76%, the operator) and Total (24%). Gas from the Ichthys Field, in the Browse Basin approximately 200 kilometres offshore of Western Australia, will undergo preliminary processing offshore to remove water and extract condensate*1. The gas will then be exported to onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889 km subsea pipeline. The Ichthys LNG Project is expected to produce 8.4 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with approximately 100,000 barrels of condensate per day at peak.

The products to be supplied by Yokogawa include CENTUM® series integrated production control systems, safety instrumented systems for detecting abnormal conditions and safely initiating emergency shutdowns, Exaquantum™ plant information management systems, PRM® integrated device management packages for monitoring and diagnosis of plant equipment, and OmegaLand operator training systems. Yokogawa will also handle the engineering, installation, and commissioning of these products and the training of operators.

Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract to provide long-term maintenance services for the pioneering Santos GLNG Project in Queensland, Australia. The multi-million dollar service order is Siemens' largest ever for its small gas turbine (SGT) product line. The customer is Santos GLNG, which is a joint venture between Santos, PETRONAS, Total and KOGAS. The six-year contract includes preventative maintenance, remote monitoring, parts supply, and field service for 16 SGT-400 industrial gas turbines (nine generator sets and seven compressor sets) spread across three Santos GLNG sites – Roma and Fairview 1 & 2. The agreement will help to ensure predictable reliability and maintenance costs for the SGT-400 gas turbines at the Santos GLNG Project.

"The Santos GLNG Project underscores the commitment of Santos GLNG and the Queensland government to advance the progression of this clean energy technology on a global scale and we are pleased to have been selected to provide long-term maintenance at the project," said Dr. Beatrix Natter, CEO, Service Oil & Gas, Siemens Energy. "This service order, in particular, is very significant for us as it represents the largest single order ever for our small gas turbine product line. It is testament to our commitment to offering truly competitive and cost-effective service solutions and to our dedicated service team."

ABB has won a plant automation contract for the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works in Hong Kong, one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world. When work is completed in 2014 the plant will serve five million people in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and treat up to 2.45 million cubic meters of wastewater a day.

Located on Stonecutters Island in Victoria Harbour, the plant is part of a major and ongoing Hong Kong government initiative to improve water quality in Victoria Harbour by collecting and treating all the wastewater produced in the urban areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

Known as the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS), the initiative consists of two stages. Stage 1 - which was completed in 2001 - comprises a 23.6 km tunnel conveyance system that transfers sewage from Kowloon and the northeastern part of Hong Kong Island to the sewage treatment works on nearby Stonecutters Island.

Stage 2A, which is currently under construction, will consist of an additional 21 km of tunnels that will convey sewage from the northern and southwestern parts of Hong Kong Island to the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works. The works will be expanded to provide centralized chemical treatment of all sewage from the whole of the HATS catchment area. A third and final phase – Stage 2B – which is currently under review, will consist of new biological treatment facilities.
