Honeywell Process Solutions announced that its Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) automation system and Safety Manager technology were selected by Asia Trans Gas for the third phase of a Central Asia-to-China natural gas pipeline project named Line C that will run parallel with the two operational pipelines, Lines A and B. The pipelines begin in Turkmenistan and cut through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan before ending in China’s Xinjiang province. The current main control center for Lines A and B will be upgraded and become the control center for all three lines.
The same Honeywell technology is already in use in the first two pipelines of the project, which are operational. The Experion PKS will be the main integration and control software platform for the pipeline. Integrating Safety Manager software into the system will provide safety practices for emergency shutdowns, equipment protection, fire and gas monitoring and critical control.
