Sarla Technologies, an ISO 9001:2008 and CSIA certified Engineering House, have announced the successful completion of a major Industrial Automation Engineering project for a strategic oil & gas offshore platform in Egypt. The company helped its customer [a leading Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) company from Italy] to execute the Automation for the Distributed Control System (DCS) at the prestigious offshore refinery.

The prime scope of this project was DCS Logic Development as per the Function Design Specification (FDS) and Testing the application. We also developed SCADA Graphics for the entire system. A detailed Cause & Effect Matrix (CEM) document was shared by the EPC firm and we developed the programming logic as per the CEM. The layouts, system architecture and diagnostics screens were developed as per the CEM.

The control system was Emerson DeltaV Ver. 12.3 DCS SX Controller, SIS (Safety Instrumented System) SZ Controller. Sarla Technologies worked on CHARacterization Modules (CHARMs) System of DeltaV SIS System.

Mr Navneet Khanolkar, Head – Global Engineering Division, Sarla Technologies said, “Executing projects using Emerson Control Systems has always been an exciting proposition. Working on the Automation System of this Oil & Gas Platform in Egypt was a challenge due to the tight project timelines. I am glad that we could enable our customer (the Italian EPC contractor) to keep up with their commitments with the end client.”
