Honeywell to provide TANAP with integrated safety system
By Trend
The Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) will be
provided with an integrated control and safety system by Honeywell
Process Solutions (HPS), the company reported.
Honeywell Process Solutions is part of Honeywell’s Automation and
Control Solutions group, a global leader in providing product and
service solutions that improve efficiency and profitability,
support regulatory compliance, and maintain safe, comfortable
environments in homes, buildings and industry.
The system will ensure reliable and safe operations of compressor
stations along the entire length of the pipeline, according to the
message.
“Honeywell’s system integrates all process control and safety
systems and automation software under a single unified architecture
at TANAP stations,” said the company. “The system improves
operators’ visibility and situational awareness to detect, avoid
and respond to incidents that could endanger people, the pipeline
or the environment."
It will also help to provide uninterrupted supply through the
pipeline, according to the message.
“Honeywell has a long history of working with critical energy
projects in Turkey,” said Orhan Genis, president of Honeywell in
Turkey and Central Asia. “This important project will help to
secure a supply of natural gas not only to this country but across
Europe.”
Meanwhile, Pieter Krynauw, vice-president and general manager for
HPS’ Projects and Automation Solutions business pointed out that
Honeywell’s integrated solutions will enable TANAP to detect and
resolve operational issues early, enhancing reliability for this
important project.
TANAP is a part of the Southern Gas Corridor which is one of the
priority energy projects for the EU.
The project envisages transportation of gas of Azerbaijan's Shah
Deniz field from the Georgian-Turkish border to the western borders
of Turkey. Turkey will get gas in 2018 and after completing the
construction of Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), gas will be
delivered to Europe in early 2020.
