Position: Project Application EngineerResponsibilities: Original Petrokemya project was an expansion of the existing TDC system to include a New

Power Substation being built in the Complex. The substation was an un-manned housing for Let-down Transformer and Electrical Power distribution, controlled from the Main Control room existing Utilities Console for Power Generation and Distribution. The new system station and Processing Unit/ and I/O terminals were Engineered and constructed in the Honeywell facility in Jubail, SA. All Specifications Layout and Construction Drawings were engineered, along with full FAT and SAT procedures approved by the Client. After the FAT, the system was installed and Commissioned into the existing system. During this time, the ongoing Sadaf Upgrades (Phase 1) were suffering delays due to late site deliveries from the Main Contractor. When the deliveries were made, and the project could resume, the Honeywell Office and assigned Staff were away on Christmas vacation, so I was approached to complete the work during this period. As I was a previous staff member and had been involved at the Sadaf Construction and Start-Up, it was agreed by the Contractor, that I was experienced and could cover the Site engineers during their vacation, and complete their duties. The Sadaf Upgrades and Expansion Project was to be completed in 3 Phases, each of which was on a separate unit within the Sadaf Complex. Each consisted the Installation and switch over of the System Upgrades from the Original TDC 2000 system to the new Universal Stations and Control Network s and Gateways utilising the existing Highway based Devises. All of this was to be completed while the Plant was still running and online. To facilitate this, the cables for the new system were installed and prepared ready for Connection once the new equipment was in Place. This included Power cables and sockets, Network Cables and Data Cables. When all pre-switch activities were complete, and the plant was in a stable condition and Reduced rates, an agreed date was made with Operations and Engineering to do the switch. The existing Engineering console in each control room was made available to Operations Staff who set everything steady and the Operational Console was switched off. Power cables were Isolated and disconnected and removed where required. Data Hiway Cables were removed and terminated at the design location. The Console was unbolted and Lifted onto trollies to be wheeled out. After the floor was modified or adjusted for the new console, the new console was brought in and lowered into place. Secured and Connected. Power was de-Isolated and full checks were carried out before Power Up and Diagnostics and Grounding checks run on each station. Data Network Cables were connected and Each station was started in turn and checked for process data collection and display etc. Once all stations were up and running, operation staff resumed control from the new station. After an normal running period, and sufficient control had been experienced, it was agreed that the next Console could be turned off and replaced by the new Console using the same procedure.
