Atlantic LNG enhances alarm systems at Point Fortin

Trinidad’s Atlantic LNG said it has chosen to partner with PPCL to streamline control room alarms across four LNG trains at their Point Fortin plant, on the southwest coast of Trinidad.

This area of the project, set to complete in 2015, aims to provide the DCS Operator with an “effective, sustainable and robust alarm system that enhances situational awareness thereby improving plant reliability,” the company said in its statement.

PPCL’s C Visual Explorer (CVE) control software allows engineers to “visualise the operating envelope, the boundary of where processes normally operate, so they can correctly position alarms, providing engineers with the ability to adjust hundreds of alarm limit variables simultaneously, while seeing a detailed prediction of alarm performance at the same time“.
