据俄罗斯油气网7月30日努尔苏丹报道，总部位于瑞士苏黎世的ABB集团将利用其统一的跨数字产品ABB Ability?，为哈萨克斯坦的希姆肯特（Shymkent）大型炼油厂提供现代化解决方案。

在希姆肯特炼油厂，数字化改造将提高生产率，降低运营成本，使运营商能够根据准确、实时的数据和报告做出更明智的决定。

ABB 能源工业总经理凯文?科希斯科表示：“ABB处于独特的地位，能够推动和支持哈萨克斯坦化工和炼油行业的数字化转型，并为希姆肯特炼油厂的现代化做出贡献，这是一件令人鼓舞的事情。”

使用ABB能力资产绩效管理解决方案，该公司的维护策略将从基于小时的维护系统发展到基于规定时间的维护。ABB将把目前希姆肯特炼油厂的年度维修周期延长至3年计划。这将通过尽早识别资产何时可能需要维修或更换(远远早于潜在的故障)来实现，从而支持运营商根据可行的见解优先考虑维修。

ABB还将为由哈萨克斯坦天然气公司和中国石油天然气集团公司组成的合资企业PKOP提供商业咨询服务，以支持项目的生命周期，并促进工厂在采用数字化实践方面的文化变革。这将包括评估当前的工作流程，利用机会提高效率和恢复力，提出改进建议并提供专家培训。

由PKOP运营的位于哈萨克斯坦希姆肯特Sayramskiy地区的希姆肯特项目场地在1970年首次投入使用。

ABB won a multi-million-dollar order to modernise a major oil refinery in Kazakhstan

Neftegaz.RU. ABB will leverage ABB Ability?, the company’s unified, cross digital offering, in delivering solutions to modernise the Shymkent oil refinery in Kazakhstan, Hydrocarbon Engineering reported.

At Shymkent oil refinery, digital transformation is expected to increase productivity and lower operational costs, with operators empowered to make better informed decisions based on accurate and live data and reporting.

Kevin Kosisko, Managing Director, ABB Energy Industries, said: “ABB is uniquely positioned to drive and support the digital transformation of the chemical and refining industry in Kazakhstan, and it is exciting to contribute to the modernisation of Shymkent oil refinery.”

Using ABB Ability Asset Performance Management solutions, the company’s maintenance strategy will progress from an hourly-based maintenance system to prescriptive-based maintenance. ABB will extend the current maintenance annual turnaround intervals at the refinery to a 3-year plan. This will be achieved through early identification of when assets might need repair or replacement ? well ahead of potential failure – supporting operators to prioritise maintenance based on actionable insights.

ABB will also provide a business consultancy service to PKOP to support the lifecycle of the project and promote culture change in adopting digital practices at the plant. This will include assessing current work processes, leveraging opportunities to increase efficiency and resilience, recommending improvements and providing expert training.

The Shymkent project site was 1st commissioned in 1970 and is in the Sayramskiy region of Kazakhstan Shymkent. It is operated by PKOP, as a joint venture between China′s CNPC and KazMunayGas.
