India’s largest refiner chooses Emerson to
serve as automation contractor in major upgrade of emissions
control operations as part of 2020 clean fuels strategy
Global technology and engineering company Emerson (NYSE: EMR)
today announced it has signed multiple contracts totaling $12
million with India’s largest commercial oil company, Indian Oil
Corporation Limited, to modernize operations and emissions programs
at the company’s refineries.
Under the contracts, Emerson will serve as automation
contractor, combining its deep refining expertise and advanced
technologies to help IndianOil meet the country’s new Bharat Stage
VI (BS-VI) low-sulfur emissions standards, which take effect in
April 2020. The BS-VI emission standards mandate a maximum sulfur
content of 10 parts-per-million, which matches best practices set
by Europe, the United States and other countries, and include
limits on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate
matter.
“Companies that leverage automation technologies and digital
transformation programs will have a significant advantage in their
goal of reaching Top Quartile performance,” said Lal Karsanbhai,
executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business.
“IndianOil has long been a valued customer of Emerson, and we are
proud to provide them with the technology and expertise they
require to meet these new fuel regulations while also modernizing
operations.”
The project will upgrade 14 different process units, including
diesel hydro-treating units designed to reduce sulfur content and
octane-boosting units either being installed or augmented with
desulfurization technologies.
As the country’s largest commercial enterprise with a workforce
of more than 33,000, IndianOil plays a significant role in fueling
the development of the economy. With a mandate to ensure India's
energy security and self-sufficiency in the refining and marketing
of petroleum products, IndianOil impacts the entire hydrocarbon
value chain, including refining, pipeline transportation, marketing
of petroleum products, exploration and production of crude oil,
natural gas and petrochemicals.
To help IndianOil reach its goals, Emerson will
install advanced technologies, including DeltaVTM distributed
control systems; DeltaV safety instrumented systems and AMS asset
management software; WirelessHART®-enabled instruments; wired field
instruments including pressure, temperature and flow sensors;
control and isolation valves; and gas analyzers. Emerson will also
provide installation, commissioning, factory-acceptance testing and
training support services for IndianOil’s refineries in Panipat,
Vadodara, Haldia and Bongaigaon.
