Shell UK was ready to perform a major upgrade to its fuel loading terminals in Stanlow and Jarrow, UK. Shell selected Honeywell Enraf to supply the major parts of the refurbishment program, including batch controllers, ethanol blending systems, additive injection cabinets, exothermic pressuring skids and IBOX containerized additive systems. Honeywell was also selected to provide a solution that could minimize the operational impact on Shell during the refurbishment. Honeywell Enraf was selected to design, install and commission an upgraded Additive Monitoring Unit (AMU) as the first phase of the refurbishment program. The focal point of the AMU was Honeywell’s HC900 system augmented with its proven Experion® SCADA interface and serial gateways from the 16 loading bays. With the support of Honeywell Enraf, Shell UK experienced the following benefits: Simultaneously controlled the existing and newly integrated systems while both ran in parallel With upgraded AMU the existing infrastructure could be decommissioned in phases with minimal disruption The new AMU enables pump control for new additive pressurizing skids, calling in individual user’s additive pumps on demand Any discrepancies are flagged by the system so operators are notified immediately of an over or under injection alarm Remote access to field devices enables approved personnel to monitor and reset system alarms from the control room and then be logged for traceability
