Safety systems donated to ECU Joondalup
HIMA Australia has donated a number of safety equipment to Edith Cowen University
(ECU) in Joondalup to provide future engineers
with the opportunity to develop their practical
skills.
The donation was welcomed by ECU's spokesperson,
Allen Tighe
"The FF-EUC & ECU are very grateful for HIMA's
donation of fieldbus equipment that will go a long
way to helping establish the new Fieldbus Centre
at the ECU School of Engineering." |

|
Brian Mulcahy - Managing Director
Brian Mulcahy joins us
after twenty-three years of experience in the field of
engineering. Having completed a trade and later diploma in
electrical engineering Brian started his own system
integration company, a privilege he enjoyed for more than
sixteen years. In the year 2000 Brian started with Rockwell
Automation (Application Engineering Division) where he
enjoyed several roles including Engineering Manager NSW and
Sales Manager / Solutions Consultant (National). In 2007

Mark Alderson -
Project Engineer
Having recently
relocated from Manchester to Perth, Mark Alderson is a HIMA
newbie making his mark on the Aussie land. With ten years
experience as Project Engineer and two years experience as
Field Service Engineer, you can rest assured your projects
will be looked after by
an expert in the field. A lover

Success Story - HIMA's safety solution, HIMax, is to be installed in one of the
world's largest
nickel mines
|
The development of the Koniambo Nickel Project, located
in the North of New Caledonia, is a joint-venture
partnership between Société Minière du Sud Pacifique
(51%) and Xstrata Nickel (49%). Koniambo Nickel SAS (KNS)
will construct a nickel refining facility using an ore
calcining and smelting process to manage the giant
deposits of nickel ore. When built, the open pit nickel
mine will be one of the largest mines in the world.
HIMA
Australia was commissioned by HATCH/Technip to provide a
safety system solution for KNS’s calciner units and
power stations. The purpose of the calciner units is to
turn liquid nickel into solids whilst the power stations
produce steam to drive turbines that produce electrical
power via turbine generators. To ensure the calciner
unit and power station processes are safely managed,
HIMA will supply four HIMax safety systems (‘CPU’
panels) and twelve HIMatrix ‘Remote I/O’ panels, housing
126 HIMatrix modules to monitor and execute the safety
functions.

Success Story - HIMA's systems installed at
the Pohokura field provided scalable (expandable)
systems
|
|
|
The Pohokura field is an oil and
gas field located 4km offshore of north Taranaki in
New Zealand and is the largest gas producing field.
Part owned by Shell (48%), OMV (26%) and Todd Energy
(26%), the field was discovered in 2000 by Fletcher
Challenge and has total estimated reserves of 996 Bcf
(1167 PJ) of gas and 59.4 mmbbls of condensate.
Situated in approximately 30m of water, the field has
six offshore and three onshore wells with the
production station located on shore, adjacent to the
Motunui methanol plant.
The scalable type H51q HIQuad
controllers are each suitable for automation tasks
with up to 4096 I/O points, and are certified
according to the standard AS(IEC) 61508.

standards such as AS 61508 and AS 61511.
The HIMA Australia facilitated TÜV Functional
Safety Program will provide you with valuable skills and
knowledge which can be used in your daily activities. It
also offers TÜV approved certification on the successful
completion of a final exam.
The
course has been developed to provide an overview of
current industry standards, functional safety concepts
and current tools used to determine safety integrity
levels while applying industry recognised techniques and
methodologies.
Below
are testimonials from clients who have successfully
completed the HIMA Australia facilitated TÜV Functional
Safety Program with Tino Vande Capelle, HIMA's TÜV
Functional Safety Expert and trainer.
"HIMA's Functional Safety Management (FSM)
course is in the forefront of delivering the best
knowledge outcomes for achieving world class process
safety standards." Mahesh Murthy
"His knowledge of the subject was
excellent and he could give examples from his own work
experience. He could gauge a person's understanding and
give extra help and support if required. From a personal
point of view I would have no hesitation in recommending
Tino." Peter Smith
"The
course was very helpful and practical, with good quality
training materials. Tino is an excellent presenter who
was able to clearly communicate the concepts and provide
examples from his experience to illustrate the points."
Rebekah Mutton
"He
proved to be a highly knowledgeable expert in functional
safety with lots of practical experience. His teaching
style is easy-going, entertaining even but highly
