Yokogawa announces that its subsidiary, Yokogawa Middle East & Africa, has received an order from Petroleum, Chemicals & Mining Company Limited*1 (PCMC) to supply the control system for the SWRO-4 Desalination Plant, which is being built in Jubail, Saudi Arabia by the Power & Water Utility Company for Jubail and Yanbu (Marafiq).
Jubail位于阿拉伯湾北部，是沙特阿拉伯的两个主要工业城市之一（另一个是红海的Yanbu），Marafiq为这两个城市提供电力和水。正在建造的工厂SWRO-4将利用反渗透（RO）膜来脱盐*2，并能够每天生产100,000立方米的饮用水。这比Marafiq目前在Jubail拥有并运营的五个淡化厂的每天77,000立方米的组合产量要大。新工厂的淡化水将被提供给Jubail地区。
Yokogawa will deliver the CENTUM VP integrated production control system and the Plant Resource Manager (PRM®) integrated device management package, the latter of which will be used for the monitoring and online diagnosis of the instrumentation devices in this plant. In addition, Yokogawa will deliver an operator training system to improve operator performance. Yokogawa Middle East & Africa is responsible for the entire project, including the engineering and commissioning of these products. Delivery is scheduled for 2014 and the plant will start operation at the end of September 2014.
在中东，由于工业化的迅速和人口增长，尤其是在城市地区，因此存在严重的水短缺。为了减轻这个问题，有计划建造许多淡化植物。使用RO膜的淡化植物比依靠海水蒸发的植物更有效，因此在整个地区以及在北美和亚洲等其他地区都有大量需求建造此类植物。横川旨在利用该命令来扩大其控制厂和水基础设施市场的其他细分市场。
