Collaborative APC Project Management

LNG Industry is in next era of optimizing and maintaining huge LNG capacities, where QATARGAS is contributing 42 MMTPA out of QATAR’S Visionary delivery of 77 MPTA LNG. Mega trains also brings together range of complex technologies and a challenge to automate and cruise control by these technologies with emphasis on reduction in emissions, better asset utilizations, energy efficient operations and controlled product specifications. QATARGAS operates its world class facilities with state of art optimisation tools implemented on On-Shore facilities starting with Inlet reception unit, Condensate Stripper, Fractionation Units, Liquefaction Units, Acid Gas Treating Units, Scrub Column, Acid gas enrichment units and Sulphur recovery units. QATARGAS operates its 7 LNG trains with 62 such large APC controllers and overall asset wide linear plant wide optimizer to negotiate and control various constraints within different units with an objective to maximize revenue with minimum energy index operating with the defined operating /optimisation envelop of operating assets.
