Yokogawa is responsible for the delivery of the Centum VP production control system and the ProSafeR-RS safety instrumented system for the project.
The company will also supply advanced process control and plant information management systems to ensure high productivity and safety at the complex.
RAPID is part of Petronas’ $27bn Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) development.
The development involves construction of a 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery and petrochemical complex, which will produce several speciality chemical products.
Additionally, the development includes the Pengerang co-generation plant, liquefied natural gas re-gasification terminal, air separation unit, the raw water supply project and other ancillary facilities.
The refinery is scheduled to begin operations by early 2019.
In October 2014, a joint venture of Technip and Fluor secured an engineering, procurement and construction management contract from PRPC Utilities and Facilities for the RAPID project.
The contract covers the utilities, interconnecting and offsites (UIO) scope of work.
The RAPID project refinery will produce gasoline and diesel which will meet Euro 4 and Euro 5 fuel specifications. It will also supply feedstock for the petrochemical complex, which will produce highly-specialised chemicals.
