[Connecting Industry] American Conglomerate Honeywell International
has won a $2.4 million project to deliver a full automation solution for
Petrocity’s Greenfield Konza terminal storage facility 60km away from the
capital Nairobi.
The Petrocity project includes solutions for the pipeline
receipt system, tank farm, truck loading system, and terminal automation,
through Experion Process Knowledge Systems (PKS) and Terminal Manager. In addition,
it will come with all industrial security, emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire
& gas (F&G) systems.
The new terminal facility is located on the Nairobi-Mombasa
highway and will cater for Nairobi’s growing demand for fuel, which is over 50
percent of Kenya’s consumption. It will
handle 120 million litres of petrol, diesel, and kerosene that is enough to
fuel Nairobi a duration of 2 months, with infrastructure for product receipt, storage,
and distribution.
“Honeywell’s solution offers end-to-end integration to give
us a global overview of the entire facility and ensure we meet best practice in
safety,” said Managing Director of Petrocity Energy, Aman Kurji. “Once
completed, it will be among the most technologically advanced storage terminals
in Africa.”
