Yokogawa has won a £4 million lump sum turnkey contract to provide instrumentation and controls for the South Hook liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, to be built near Milford Haven in Wales
Set to be the largest LNG terminal in Europe, South Hook will handle LNG from Qatar Terminal Company’s liquefaction facility in Qatar; the company owns 70% of the terminal, with the remainder owned by ExxonMobil Qatargas Terminal Company.
Yokogawa is to work with the EPC contractor on the project, Chicago Bridge & Iron, to design a control system based around its Centum CS3000 R3 DCS. The system will also include a ProSafe emergency shutdown system, HIPPS high-integrity pressure protection and fire and gas detection systems, and an Exaquantum management information system.
The contract is the culmination of a year’s collaboration with the South Hook partners, says Will de Groot, managing director of Yokogawa System Centre Europe.
