Over one thousand Rotork IQPro intelligent actuators with Pakscan P3 network control systems have been ordered for the USD 1.6 billion Qinzhou Refinery project in South China. The new refinery, which is owned by PetroChina, is designed to improve the energy supply throughout SW China. The valve actuators are being installed in areas including the crude oil, LPG, petroleum and diesel tank farms, processing and water purifying plants and wastewater treatment works. The actuation contracts are being co-ordinated and supported by Rotork’s office in the city of Guangzhou, in Guangdong Province. Qinzhou is a port city in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The refinery will process oil imported from Sudan and will have a daily processing capacity of 200,800 barrels after production starts at the end of 2009.
