Emerson to install PlantWeb at Fujian Refining & Ethylene JV Project

Emerson's PlantWeb digital automation solution will network intelligent field devices and sensors throughout the facilities, collecting and reporting real-time predictive data about the process and instruments and equipment.
Operators and maintenance personnel will use this predictive data to optimize performance and to anticipate issues, and correct them before operations are interrupted or shut down.
PlantWeb digital architecture is based on an open systems approach that keeps pace with new technologies, enabling customers to preserve the capital investment in their control system.
PlantWeb also makes it possible to lower startup and commissioning costs by reducing wiring costs and streamlining device installation, communications verification, and troubleshooting.
The Fujian Refining and Ethylene Project is a joint venture by Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited (a 50/50 venture between Sinopec and Fujian Province) (50%), ExxonMobil China Petroleum and Petrochemical Company Limited (25%) and Saudi Aramco Sino Company Limited (25%).
The project will expand the existing refinery at Quanzhou, Fujian Province, from 80,000 barrels per day to 240,000 barrels per day. The upgraded refinery will primarily refine and process sour Arabian crude.
In addition, new petrochemical facilities will be constructed, including an 800,000 tons-per-year ethylene steam cracker, an 800,000 tons-per-year polyethylene unit, a 400,000 tons-per-year polypropylene unit, and an aromatics complex to produce 700,000 tons per year of paraxylene. A 300,000-tons crude berth and associated utilities will also be built.
Sinopec is China's largest producer and marketer of oil products. Sinopec is also China's largest supplier of major petrochemical products and China's second largest crude oil producer.
