Gas processing plant protection

Safety systems specialist
Hima-Sella has been
awarded and commenced
work on two contracts for the
design, manufacture and
installation of safety systems
for the Teesside Gas
Processing Plant (TGPP) at
Seal Sands in Middlesbrough,
which is currently being
modified to receive and
process gas from the Breagh
field in the North Sea.

Under one contract,
awarded by AMEC, Hima-
Sella is providing an
Emergency Shutdown (ESD)
system at the processing
plant. Under the second
contract, awarded by J.

Murphy & Sons, a civil
engineering and building
contractor, Hima-Sella is
providing a High Integrity
Pressure Protection System
(HIPPS) which will be located
at a Beach Valve Compound
(a landfall site about 10km
from the processing plant).

Andy Tonge, Hima-Sella’s
sales manager, comments:
“The Breagh field is one of the
largest gas discoveries in
recent years and it is helping
secure the UK’s future energy
needs. We’re therefore
delighted to have been
awarded these two contracts
to engineer solutions to
protect the Breagh Alpha
platform and the 110km of
pipeline to the Teesside Gas
Processing Plant.”
