INTECH instrumental in providing electric power to far away villages in Rwanda
In Lake Kivu on the border between the Republic of Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, some 300,000 m3 of dissolved carbon dioxide and 50,000 – 60,000 m3 of methane gas is accumulated and trapped at significant depth in the lake.
The customer was setting up a barge based gas extraction facility and an export pipeline from the barge to the shore. The barge contained the bulk of the equipment that will lift, separate, and process the gas dissolved in the deep waters off Lake Kivu. The location for the offshore facilities is approximately 13 km from the shore in 355 meters of water.
INTECH was called in due to its excellent track record of completing over 100 major upstream Oil & Gas automation projects for the top ten Exploration and Production companies globally. INTECH design philosophy is based on a vendor neutral, best fit automation solution approach to ensure safe, efficient and compliant operations.
INTECH’s Scope of work included the following:
- Engineering,Design and Supply of Process Control System (PCS)
- Engineering, Design and Supply of Emergency Shutdown System (ESD)
- Engineering, Design and Supply of Fire & Gas System (F&G)
- Process Instrumentation & Documentation
- Third party data integration with PCS system
- Control Room & Workshop construction and Project Management services
INTECH chose hardware that was best fit for customer needs & requirements. The system delivered was designed keeping in view the specific international safety, compliance and operational excellence standards specific to a gas processing facility.
This project will be key in providing electric power to remote villages in Rwanda.
