Case study Cameron
AML Asset information Management
Background
Established in October 2014, Cameron LNG was developed to meet the growing demand for energy around the world with three liquefaction trains to safely process and load LNG supplies onto ships. Cameron LNG’s partners, Sempra LNG, Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi Corporation, Total, and NYK Line, represent extensive LNG market and shipping experience and are committed to achieving operational excellence to ensure a safe and reliable workplace. When filly operational Cameron will have a capacity of 24.92 million metric tons per annum, and a total investment of about US$10 billion.
As America turned from the #1 global gas importer to a gas exporter. Cameron understood the changing business environment and almost immediately began formulating a dual-purpose import/export terminal. They secured the purchase of a 432-acre tract of land directly north and adjacent to the existing import terminal, making for a total footprint of 502 acres.
Project Scope
- Electricity Production (predominantly from Wind Energy)
- Power to Gas (P2G): Hydrogen Production
- Temporary Storage of Hydrogen to use Wind Electricity peaks (using existing offshore assets)
- Other renewable energy (incl. bioenergy where relevant)
The project scope for Hint covered the supply of its commercially-of-the-shelf (COTS) software package AML Analyzer Management and delivery of all required project services for the realization of a complete working system on site. The project services included software specification, design, implementation, configuration, verification, validation, documentation and startup and commissioning. For Cameron new functionalities were added in AML: Fidelity & Linearity plots, Reproducibility and Repeatability reports. The AML software is installed on a single server that runs the AML web application and the AML central database, real-time interaction through MODBUS with approximately 50 Gas Chromatographs and interaction with the DCS through OPC.
Benefits
- Real-time monitoring and performance assessments of analyzers
- Insights into data trends with the ability to carry out predictive analyses, and identify and mitigate risks and emerging problems
- A data-driven, needs-based maintenance program minimizing routine maintenance costs, without sacrificing analyzer performance
- A single enterprise solution that can scale to accommodate future growth
- Automated validation management to drive higher levels of trust in analyzer results, translating into higher utilization levels of advanced process controls
- Implementation and control of Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) activities and condition based maintenance
- Generation of reports on alarms, KPIs, PPM activities, Control charts, etc.
