INVENSYS SELECTED BY SINOPEC GUANGZHOU COMPANY TO IMPLEMENT AUTOMATION FOR REFINERY EXPANSION
01 September 2005 - Invensys plc

Invensys Process Systems has been chosen by Sinopec Guangzhou Company, a major China petrochemical producer, to provide new I/A Series automation systems from Foxboro, along with a broad range of professional services. The new systems will help Sinopec Guangzhou Company increase its crude oil processing capacity from about 7 million tons/year to 13 million tons/year at its complex in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City. In addition to meeting demand for refinery products from a rapidly growing economy in the Guangdong region of south China, the new processes will enable the company to process higher-sulfur crudes imported from the Middle East.

The I/A Series automation systems will be used to control new and expanded units for Crude Distillation, Hydrocracking, Hydrogen generation and other processes, as well as various tank farm facilities. In addition, Invensys Process Systems China will provide engineering and implementation services and training for plant engineering, technical and operating personnel. When the new automation project is completed, Invensys will be supplying the greatest share of automation at the Guangzhou complex.

Sinopec Guangzhou Company has been an Invensys automation user for more than 10 years, with three existing installations of I/A Series control systems from Foxboro supporting process units around the Guangzhou complex. Invensys is also an automation supplier to other business units of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), the parent company of Sinopec Guangzhou.

Sinopec Guangzhou Company is one of the leading petrochemical enterprises in south China. A branch of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Sinopec Guangzhou Company is the first company to process 100 percent imported crude oil in China. Its refining and ethylene units have more than 7 million tons/year of crude oil processing capacity and 200,000 tons/year of ethylene production capacity, respectively, from 45 major petrochemical production units. Sinopec Guangzhou Company is committed to technical innovation and is recognized for its quality excellence for more than 60 categories of products, including very low sulphur diesel that meets the newest clean fuel standards.
