PITTSBURGH, PA (March 25, 2002) -- Westinghouse Process Control,
a business of Emerson Process Management, has been selected to provide
its Ovation® Information & Control System for expanded generating
capacity in Brazil. The company will install the Microsoft®
Windows®-based version of its groundbreaking system at the new
Tres Lagoas facility in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, through
a contract between the project's architect/engineer, Promon, and
Emerson Process Management of Brazil.
The Tres Lagoas facility is a natural-gas-fueled combined-cycle
plant. Phase I of the project will generate 200 MW and will be followed
by an identical 200 MW addition in 2002. The plant is owned and
will be operated by Petrobras, the Brazilian-government-owned oil
and gas company. The facility is being constructed by a consortium,
Odebrecht/Promon, under an engineer/procure/construct contract.
The Ovation system uses an open architecture approach that helps
eliminate concerns about technological obsolescence and dependence
on proprietary systems. Operating on a high-speed, high-capacity
network, Ovation was the first system built to open industry standards.
It uses commercially available hardware and allows easy integration
with a customer's existing IT systems, while maintaining process
security.
