Emerson to automate liquefaction project

Emerson Process Management has announced it has been chosen by Cameron LNG to help automate its new liquefaction project. Emerson will add three LNG trains to facilitate export of domestic natural gas to international markets. Emerson has been awarded automation contracts for more than half of all North American LNG export capacity.

Emerson Process Management will provide automation expertise and technologies.

Three new liquefaction trains will give the Hackberry, Louisiana, facility the flexibility to export up to 12 million metric tpy of US produced natural gas.

Emerson will provide its DeltaV™ distributed control and DeltaV SIS integrated safety system for both new and existing portions of the facility. It will also provide its AMS Suite predictive maintenance software to optimise the availability and performance of key production assets. Project specialists in Houston and in Pune, India, will provide related design and configuration services to help accelerate the project schedule.

The estimated value of the project to Emerson is US$20 million.
