Yokogawa conducted a feasibility study of control systems during the planning phase of the project.

As per the deal, Yokogawa will prepare a master plan to introduce a CENTUM VP production control system that will integrate the monitoring and control functions for units throughout the refinery complex which are currently handled by multiple control systems.

Yokogawa said the master plan will also address the introduction of a ProSafe -RS, a safety instrumented system to ensure the safety of processes throughout the refinery.

The contract also requires Yokogawa to propose solutions to JXE such as software packages for remote monitoring and online diagnosis that improve maintenance efficiency.

The company will also provide field wireless solutions that allow the installation of measuring instruments at previously difficult-to-install locations, advanced control rooms.
