Fortis BC (formerly Terasen) - Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada

What does this facility do?

The Mt Hayes Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) peak shaver is a liquefaction, storage, and vaporization facility located in the mountains near Ladysmith, BC. It liquefies and stores natural gas during the off season (summer months) and vaporizes during the on season (winter months). It also has the ability to load LNG tanker trucks.

My role in this project

My role in this project was programming, testing, and commissioning of the control system. The process control was handled by an Invensys (now Schneider Electric) Foxboro I/A system. The Safety Instrumented System (SIS) was a Triconex (now Schneider Electric) Tricon system.

The facility was commissioned in 2011.
