(Brühl, Germany, 22/8/2005)
HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH + Co KG supplied 4 Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) for the fertilizer plant of ASEAN Bintulu Fertilizer Sdn. Bhd. (ABF) in Bintulu (Malaysia), which is one of the largest production plants for granular urea fertilizer in Asia. The safety-related systems of type H51q HRS are replacing the old relay systems in the plant. For ABF, a member of PETRONAS group of companies, this revamp represented a further step in the modernisation of its production plants.
HIMA carried out the engineering and the project management, while HIMA Malaysia was responsible for installation and commissioning. The order value for the project amounts to approximately Euro 700,000 .
Under this Safeguarding System Project, 4 ESD systems were installed and commissioned with 2 systems for Ammonia Plant, 1 system in Urea and 1 in Boiler Plant respectively. Each of the systems processes approximately 500 safety I/Os. The HIMA systems communicate via Modbus with the process control system provided by Yokogawa. The system requirement stipulated as mandatory a SIL 3-certified system to protect man and the environment, which is easily fulfilled by the TÜV approved, maximum available systems from the H51q family.
