A close corporation with Royal Arctic Line AS in

Denmark led to an exiting pilot project, which took

place in Greenland this spring, when it was agreed

to install two thermal HERNIS camera stations

onboard the M/S Mary Arctica for ice detection.

In order for this pilot project to become a success,

the camera stations would have to detect the top of

the growlers at a restricted view and at a longer

range than the human eye is capable of.

The two thermal camera stations were installed

onboard the M/S Mary Arctica, when it was docked

in Poland March 2006. When the ship laid out for

her journey to Greenland in April, HERNIS Service

Engineer Reidar Olsbu went onboard the ship in

Nuuk for maintenance and testing of the camera

stations for ice detection.

On his trip from the 20th – 26th April 2006, he

logged the results of the ice detection and found

that the project was a success. “This project has

been a useful experience for HERNIS”, says Reidar

Olsbu. “This is certainly new waters for HERNIS

and we are very exited to be a part of this project

with Royal Arctic Line, who have been very

cooperative and helpful during the entire process.

We were able to test our equipment under extreme

conditions and the outcome has been very useful”.

Royal Arctic Line concludes that they had good

experience with the cameras during favourable

weather conditions, where they were able to detect

the top of the growlers in the sea at a longer range

than without the camera. “We are looking forward

to seeing the development from HERNIS in this

area, and to improve the range estimation and

prevent icing of the equipment” says Allan Idd

Jensen, Superintendent with Royal Arctic Line in

Denmark.

In the middle of June, the camera stations were

dismounted from the ship and brought back to

HERNIS, who will continue to develop and expand

their product range for handling the challenging

tasks of ice detection.

Gasco Ruwais NGL 3 - Expansion project

Snamprogetti SpA in Italy has awarded HERNIS a

major contract for delivery of a large CCTV system

to the GASCO NGL Train 3 Project at Ruwais in

UAE. The order for HERNIS involves the latest

CCTV technology, including an advanced control

system.

HERNIS also delivered the CCTV system for the

existing plant. The new equipment will be

integrated to the HERNIS 400 control system

already in operation. The control system will be

upgraded to incorporate redundancy which will

result in an even more reliable performance. In

addition a large number of new camera stations will

be installed for surveillance covering the process,

perimeter and jetty areas. In total the system will

serve different operators assisting them to improve

the overall plant safety and security.

The third NGL train will process NGL transported

via a new pipeline from OGD-III and AGD-II,

supplemented by a new LPG stream from the

adjacent refinery, owned by TAKREER.

The NGL will be processed in a 24,400 tonnes per

day fractionation and treatment train to produce

ethane, liquefied propane and butane and pentane

and heavier hydrocarbons. In addition, the project

included four 83,600m3 liquefied petroleum gas

storage tanks, a single 76,000m3 pentane storage

tank and a two-berth extension to the export jetty.

The project is expected to be completed by the end

of the first quarter 2008.

The owner is ABU DHABI GAS INDUSTRIES

LTD. (GASCO), which is the operating company

in Abu Dhabi responsible for processing associate

and non-associate gas from onshore oil production.

HERNIS have recently signed two new contracts

with Jurong Shipyard Pte. Ltd. to deliver the CCTV

System for Petromena’s PetroRig I and II Semi-

submersible Rigs. Jurong Shipyard will build the 6th

generation ultra-deepwater semi-submersible

drilling rig based on the Friede & Goldman (F&G)

Ex-D design.

The semi-submersible rigs are capable of operating

in 3,000 meters water depth under harsh

environmental drilling conditions. It is suitable for

operation in most of the world’s known challenging

deepwater arena. The rig is engineered for stability

and versatility with operational displacement of

43,400 metric tons at 17 meters draft and 46,750

metric tons at 20 meters draft.

HERNIS will be delivering the ever reliable Control

System and Equipment, consisting of HERNIS 400

with several Ex286W, Ex291, PT9W and S9

Camera Stations, Crane TV’s and Exp Monitors

with control keyboards. Furthermore, HERNIS will

be providing software that would enable interfaces

with other drilling equipments onboard.

The construction has been started in the yard and

with delivery schedule on the 1st quarter and last

quarter of 2009 respectively.

Again, we are very happy and fortunate to be

cooperating closely with Jurong Shipyard. We

would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to all

the good people involved both from Shipyard side

and the owner side. We are looking forward to be

offering our best possible service for these Projects

and many more to come…

The market for the storage of oil and chemical

products in south-east Asia has grown rapidly

during the past decades. On the Southern Islands of

Singapore a large (petro)chemical industrial area is

developed including storage tank and the other

associated infrastructure such as jetties. Just recently,

Tankstore Ltd. Singapore had expansion project for

Petroleum Storage in Pulau Busing. HERNIS has

been awarded to supply the CCTV System and

Equipment to replace the existing equipment on the

tank farms and jetty areas.

HERNIS will supply the well known HERNIS 400

Control System coupled with several Ex286 and

PT9 Camera Stations and Digital Video Recording

facility.

Owner has commented that they will consider

HERNIS again for new installations in the future.

Our German agent Marine & Offshore Equipment recently opened up a

Demo Room at their premises in Reinbek close to Hamburg. During the last

10 years Germany has become a strong and stable market for HERNIS CCTV

systems and it was therefore agreed to offer German customers the chance to

put hands on HERNIS equipment locally.

Various camera stations, monitors and keyboards as well as a HERNIS 400

system can be tested. Also operational software HWIN and Seatouch are part

of the system. This gives the customer the chance to compare ethernet based

technology with analogue technology under realistic circumstances.

Please do not hesitate to contact HERNIS or our local agent Marine Offshore

Equipment in case you would like to stop by. You will be most welcome.

TECHNICAL CORNER

ZONESOnce the nature of the potential hazard in the

form of an explosive atmosphere has been defined,

the likelihood of the hazard existing needs to be

considered. Clearly, there will be an infinite range

of possibilities from definitely always present´ to

`perhaps present for very short periods`. However,

three distinctions are recognised. The term zone is

used to describe the likelihood of an explosive

atmosphere existing at any given time.

Zones are defined by the IEC as follows:

Zone 0 Areas where an explosive atmosphere

occurs constantly or over long periods.


occurs occasionally under normal

operating conditions.


occurs only exceptionally, and then only

for short periods.

IECEx Scheme ObjectiveThe objective of the IECEx Scheme is to facilitate

international trade in equipment and services for

use in explosive atmospheres, while maintaining the

required level of safety:

• reduced testing and certification costs to

manufacturer

• reduced time to market

• international confidence in the product

assessment process

• one international database listing

• maintaining International Confidence in

equipment and services covered by IECEx

Certification

HERNIS has received the IEC Ex Certificate
