Montreal, Quebec – R2 announces today it has successfully completed the installation of the latest SIL2 EMOS® (Electrolyser Maintenance, Optimization & Safety) System for electrochemical process monitoring of membrane technology electrolysers for the Sahara Petrochemicals chlorine plant in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.
EMOS®‘s high fidelity cell voltage data acquisition system combined with its advanced engineering and data analysis tools provide Sahara Petrochemicals unparalleled visibility and reliability for electrolyser process monitoring. Beyond the basic alarm and safety functions, EMOS® is providing advanced electrolyser condition monitoring for qualitative insight into the operational performance of critical components, resulting in a precise, proactive approach to electrolyser maintenance and scheduling.
The contract also includes the EMOS® Early Detection Engine (EDE). The Early Detection Engine (EDE) adds a second layer of protection by detecting any abnormal behavior of cells in chlorine plants as early as possible even in case of miss operation in the periphery (bad brine quality etc.). Dramatic irreversible damage to cell components and the consequential production loss are prohibited.
SAHARA Petrochemicals is a Saudi joint stock company established in 7th April 2004 with a paid up capital of SR 1.5 billion and later raised to be SR 4,387,950,000.
