Hassi Messaoud PLC based control system

The Mesit@1 Programmable Logic Control (PLC) is an open source platform for multiple applications. It’s flexible and, conversely the traditional unit controls supplied by the main constructors, is open, allowing you to complete plant solutions delivering advanced performance, operability, and availability. An open source software suite Mesit@OS is used with the Mesit@1 PLC and related systems for programming, configuration, trending, and analyzing diagnostics. It provides a single source of quality, time-coherent data at the controller and plant level to understand and adjust how your plant is operating in real time.

LNG Arzew Sonatrach

The Arzew new LNG liquefaction train or GL3-Z project started in july 2008 by Sonatrach is situated about 400km (249 miles) west of Algiers. The onshore contract was worth €2.8bn and involved the construction of a new LNG liquefaction train on a brownfield site in the industrial zone of Arzew adjacent to the existing refinery. 

Sonatrach awarded Saipem, in a joint venture with Chiyoda, the lump sum turn key contract for the new Arzew LNG Train (GL3-Z) project. The contract encompassed the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) of a single-train gas liquefaction (LNG) plant, with a capacity of 4.7 million tonnes of LNG per annum. We supplied to Saipem Venturi Tubes, Orifices Plates, Thermocouples and Thermowells for the single-train gas liquefaction plant. That time Saipem was named for the first time as the main contractor of a large gas liquefaction (LNG) plant, asserting its reputation as an integrated player, capable of managing large and complex turnkey projects in the high tech market of the LNG sector.

Fast Nuclear Reactor PEC Brasimone ENEA

In Italy, as supplier of AM and SNIA Techint we worked over the experimental sodium cooled fast reactor at Monte Brasimone’s ENEA PEC (Prova Elementi Combustibile - Fuel Element Test Reactor). It represents one of the major Italian contribution to the Fast Breeder Reactor Research and Development Program in Europe. ENEA R&D programme on Nuclear Fission, funded by the Italian Ministry of economic Development.

The safety criteria adopted as design bases for the PEC reactor provide all the measures needed to reject in the area of residual risk the severe accidents leading to a loss of integrity of the containment barriers. Nevertheless, consequences of severe, very unlikely, events have been analysed in order to verify the efficiency of preventive measures envisaged in the beyond basis accident area.

Nuclear Power Plant Mochovce ENEL

In the south of Slovakia, between the towns of Nitra and Levice, there are located four VVER 440/V-213 pressurised water reactors units of the Mochovce NPP. Units 3 and 4 generates over 3,000 GWh of electricity annually, which represents approximately 11% of Slovakia's electricity consumption.

Mochovce units are one of the youngest VVER 440/V-213 type units. That's why they benefit from the latest technological improvements that were implemented at the plant. International expert teams have agreed that, once the safety measures are in place, the plant complies with all the international standards and nuclear safety levels, assessing its reliability as extremely high. Mesit supplied Nuclear Thermocouples and Orifice for the four VVER 440/V-213 pressurised water reactors units 3 and 4 of the Mochovce NPP. 

Horizon Oil Sand Project Fort Mc Murray Canadian Natural Resources Limited

Saipem Canada Inc. and its joint venture partner SNC-Lavalin have been awarded a lump sum contract by Canadian Natural Resources Limited (Canadian Natural) to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services for the Horizon Oil Sands Project – Secondary Upgrader Project. 

Mesit supplied Thermocouples, Thermowells and Flow Devices for the Horizon Oil Sands Project – Secondary Upgrader Project. The Secondary Upgrader, consisting of three hydrotreaters, will process 110,000 barrels/day of feedstock from the Primary Upgrader into synthetic crude components.

Turboalternator In Amenas Sonatrach

In Amenas is the largest wet gas development project in Algeria. The project includes the development of four primary gas fields in the Illizi Basin in south-eastern Algeria and the associated gas processing facility.The In Amenas Gas Project, located close to the Libyan border in the Sahara desert, around 1,300km away from the capital city Algiers, commenced production in 2006. Mesit provided the EPCI of a complete power plant and 8.2 MW Turbo alternator. 

A compression project was launched at In Amenas in 2011, to maintain the plateau production. The project was scheduled to be completed in 2013. However, a terrorist attack on the In Amenas facility in the beginning of 2013 has significantly brought down the In Amenas production. The development projects planned for the gas production facility are also on hold due to security concerns.

Urea Plant Mesaieed QAFCO

Mesaieed plant is with its six sister trains make the Qatar Fertiliser Company the largest single-site producer of ammonia and urea in the world. EPC contract for QAFCO-VI expansion project was signed between QAFCO and a Saipem and Hyundai’s join venture. A complete urea plant, with a design capacity of 3,800 MTPD of urea, including a granulator unit with a design capacity of 3850 MTPD. A Complete urea granules storage with capacity of 175,000 metric tonnes and handling material system with capacity of 1,000 MTPH of urea granules.

Additional seawater cooling cells, steam and power generation facilities in addition to the ones already in the QAFCO-5 plant. Thus far, QAFCO has become the world’s largest single site urea producer after the inauguration of its 4th expansion of QAFCO-4 in April 2004 while QAFCO-6 project will increase the company’s annual production capacity of urea to 5.6 million metric tonnes.

Compression Station Portovaya Gazprom

The project, located near Vyborg (Russia) involved the construction of a compressor station part of the Gryazovets-Vyborg gas trunkline. In this project are involved Rolls-Royce (GPUs) and Siirtec Nigi (GTU design and construction).The station is the starting point for gas supplies through the Nord Stream gas pipeline and secures gas transmission over 1.200 km. The Portovaya station has a 366-MW capacity and a 220-atmosphere absolute pressure. It comprises eight gas-pumping units (GPUs) - six with a 52-MW capacity and two with a 27-MW capacity.

The Nord Stream gas pipeline is a fundamentally new route for Russian gas exports to Europe. The gas pipeline will run across the Baltic Sea from the Portovaya Bay (in the vicinity of Vyborg) to the German coast (in the vicinity of Greifswald). The gas pipeline length will be some 1,200 km.
