ISE selects Emerson for SABIC utility upgrade control cabinets 09 August 2012

International System EST (ISE) has contracted Emerson Industrial Automation to supply control cabinets for a utilities upgrade project at SABIC's Petrokemya Arabian Petrochemical site in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

This order is for four large cabinets for more than 140 Asco Numatics solenoid valves and associated control equipment to automate valves on the demineralised water and water purification plants on the site.

"We chose Emerson for this important project because of their proven ability to engineer and manufacture cabinets such as these," states Salem Al-Khaldi, president of ISE.

"They have the capabilities in-house to design and build these cabinets and deliver them to site fully certified. All we have to do is make one electrical connection and then connect the pneumatics at the bulkhead. This frees up our own engineering time through the design, engineering and installation phases of the project."

According to an Emerson spokesperson, the cabinets – the largest of which is 1.8m x 1.8m x 0.5m – will be ready for factory acceptance tests within 10 weeks of drawing approvals.
