Client: Whessoe Oil & Gas Ltd

Contract Value: £26k






Hima-Sella has been awarded a contract by Whessoe Oil & Gas Ltd to supply a High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) for the Dragon LNG Import Terminal at Milford Haven.

The Dragon LNG Import Terminal is currently under construction and, when completed, will import, store and regasify Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The LNG is transported to the Dragon LNG Import Terminal by LNG carriers which will berth at the plant's jetty. The LNG will then be pumped into two storage tanks; LNG is then regasified and sent to customers along a gas pipeline connecting with the National Transmission System (NTS).

The High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS), provided by Hima-Sella will comprise a H41qHS system in a single bay cabinet. The system is used to monitor vital pressure signals and will shut down the gas pumps at the terminal if required. The system provided by Hima-Sella is required to meet Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2) in accordance with IEC 61508.

Once completed the Dragon LNG Import Terminal is set to operate continuously, 365 days a year. The terminal is capable of receiving LNG carriers of up to 217,000 cubic metres in capacity and sending out approximately 700,000 cubic metres of natural gas to the NTS per hour.
