Invensys completes automation project in a major expansion of Samsung Total

20-Aug-07

Invensys Process Systems has successfully completed its automation project in a major expansion of the Samsung Total petrochemical complex in Daesan, Korea. The process revamp included an overhaul of the ethyl benzene (EB) and styrene monomer (SM) units at the complex. The EB and SM unit expansion project, now up and running, was accomplished while the Samsung Total petrochemical complex continued to run, which added to the engineering challenges. The Invensys project scope included automation replacement and expansion with Foxboro I/A Series distributed control systems (DCS), and the implementation of a Triconex emergency shutdown (ESD) system, both supported by extensive technical design, engineering, and implementation services.
