Emerson will deliver engineering services and technologies for process automation and systems integration of the refining unit, selected utilities, and offsite operations.
The Comperj complex, which is built on an area of 45 million square meters, will be able to process 165,000 barrels of heavy crude per day when its first refining unit begins operations in 2013, and the same amount in a second unit expected five years later.
In addition to systems for process control, safety, fire and gas detection, machinery monitoring, and management of process and maintenance information, Emerson will also supply measurement instruments, control valves, pressure regulators and other related products and services.
Engineering work has already begun, with hardware delivery to begin in 2011.
