Emerson's $20m safety software deal with Cameron LNG

Emerson Process Management has been tapped by Cameron LNG to help automate its new liquefaction project, adding three LNG trains to facilitate export of domestic natural gas to international markets.

Emerson said it will provide its DeltaV distributed control and DeltaV SIS integrated safety system for both new and existing portions of the facility, plus its AMS Suite predictive maintenance software to optimise the availability and performance of key production assets.

The partnership will see Emerson provide automation expertise as well as technologies that will help Cameron manage the LNG facility’s operations safely and efficiently.

Three new liquefaction trains will give the Hackberry, Louisiana, facility the flexibility to export up to 12 million metric tons per year of US-produced natural gas. The plant can also continue to import LNG for domestic use or re-export LNG from other countries.

The estimated value of the project to Emerson is US$20 million.

Emerson said due to its LNG expertise it has been awarded automation contracts for more than half of all North American LNG export capacity.
